Portly New York "boss" who gallavanted across the avenues and boardwalks of the Big Apple. He racketeered and engaged in other various nefarious deeds, using his overly-corpulent body to conceal illegally-acquired funds. He was brought down by Thomas Nast in a cartoon that depicted him such an obviously bad light that it destroyed his entire life. Curse you, Mr. Nast.
