Recently I acquired two new chips. The difference in the stories of these chips as opposed to Gene's illegals is that the owners, for the most part, are not criminals. Usually they are filthy rich (maybe they are criminals!)
First up is a burgee chip of Webb Jay and the Cocolobo Cay Club.
Webb's address was 26 Star Island Drive, Miami Beach. Shaquille Oneal was a owner of the property (valued at $26mil).
Here's the write up

Second chip is the Trail Tree
The chip was owned by Joel Spitz (married to Maxine Hart of clothiers Hart, Schaffner and Marx)
Their home (the Trail Tree house) was located in Glencoe, IL
As to what a trail tree is, see my write up:
