This piece has done serious numbers on Instagram, with one reader commenting 'Have you had any interest from the big news outlets?' We haven't... yet... but one for thing is for sure, this story certainly deserves to be on a national platform.
Cormac Kehoe@coramazov.bsky.social · 3w agoMy investigation into the network that pioneered the "dodgy shop" model just landed. I trace the group’s mid-2000s takeover of the West End souvenir trade, their expansion across the UK, and follow the money used to fuel it all the way to the badlands of Afghanistan the-fence.com/article/grav...
