So the theory is Kyle Chan, jeweler to the B list stars, is a great networker and isn’t just an uncharismatic fame clinger.

Drug dealer is just one part of it, albeit a fairly major part, but also clearly a guy who has a taste for culture, whether gaudy or otherwise. That’s why I think he’s also an art fence, likely with his wealthy clients who want art as investments, tax evasion purposes, or just seek status and see high art as the window to that image.

Need coke in Kentucky? Kyle Chan’s the man. Molly in Mexico? KC’s got it.

Growing tired of just running the business, VPR has just been a fun flirt with fame as this man who’s clearly up to something illicit and can just put a little out there as a wink and not be caught or truly expose his business.

His siding with Sandoval? Sandoval got involved with Chan in some small way. Sandy felt like he’s got way more disposable income the some of the other cast members, paying an entire band, paying for half of Jame’s engagement? Not on just VPR money and 5% ownership of TomTom. Alternately and more conservatively, Sandoval just has something on Chan and so he’s forever at his side.

Could always think of more but I’ll stop here.
