Crazy Eddie’s chain collapsed in 1989 after a decade of iconic ads. Tax fraud, unreported income, paying employees under the table, etc. He fled to Israel and was returned in 1993. He was in jail from 1996 to 1999. This comic probably commemorates his release. He died in 2016.
The victims are shareholders in the banks and real estate competitors of Trump, who had to pay a higher price for capital.
