Carlos Rafael, whose initials are emblazoned on boats all over the port city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, boasted that his fishing empire was worth even more than official records would show. His trick? When he caught rare, valuable fish, like grey sole or cod, he would report that his nets were filled with something else, like haddock. “We call them something else, it’s simple,” Carlos told visitors who seemed interested in buying his business. “We’ve been doing it for over 30 years.” He showed his visitors a special ledger labeled “cash.” And he described an under-the-table deal he had going with a New York fish buyer, quipping at one point, “You’ll never find a better laundromat.” But his visitors turned out to be IRS agents, and the conversation, caught on tape, began the unraveling of Carlos, whose decades-long rule over this region’s fishing industry gave him his nickname, “The Codfather.” Today, as Carlos sits in prison, having pleaded guilty to lying about his catches and smuggling the profits out of the country, his nearly 2 dozen boats have been barred from fishing, grinding part of the centuries-old maritime economy in the nation’s most lucrative port to a halt. @george_etheredge photographed several of Carlos’s boats while on #nytassignment in Massachusetts.
