They tell me that I'm a bad influence on the boy. They tell me not to give him any alcohol because they think I'm a drunkard (or druncle since I'm his uncle). What they don't know is that this boy is already wanted by the FBI for questioning in over a dozen schemes including money laundering, bootlegging and running a speakeasy.
People used to talk about the parties held down at Whiskey Wes'. They would tell stories of the youngster glad handing with thugs and police chiefs. One story describes how in the same evening Wesley "the Wombat" Pollington won an arm wrestling competition, outran 20 police cars with a trunk full of moonshine, and had dinner at Judge Tapenny's house. And all this before he was three feet tall.
We may never know what became of this miniature mogul, this crib-sized Capone, but one thing we do know is that his actions were not influenced by his handsome, red-bearded uncle. It has been told in multiple biographies of the boy how he left his loving family's home and fell in with a bad crowd. How he learned to live it tough on the streets and eventually used that pitbull-like tenacity to dominate the underground world of women and booze.
Best of luck Wombat, wherever you are.
please note, all of the statements above are false...except for the fact that his uncle is very handsome.

I heard the Wombat's running a nice little syndicate down in NoVa these days, but that he's turning his attentions from strictly-profit based criminality to an attempt to rig the upcoming election in Virginia. Always nice to see a young mobster follow the "Chicago model" of gangsterizing, instead of just going "Jersey."
Fantastic !
This made me laugh out loud!
........maybe Wombat needs a UK connection? Awesome Alf maybe able to assist....
