The Orchid Thief
The titular Orchid thief is this guy named John Edward LaRoche. He was arrested for going into a swamp that was on native land, like it was the Seminole tribe. But he believes that he has found this loophole in the system because natives through their own like treaty have been told that they can do whatever they want. And so he's like, okay, I'm working for the tribe. I'm going to direct them, but I'm not going to actually take anything myself.
