Harrison Smith describes a visit to a Somali shopping center in Minneapolis where shopkeepers leave their stores unattended, demonstrating a high-trust environment within their own community. Smith argues that this internal cohesion allows the group to effectively coordinate large-scale scams against the "out-group" of non-Somali Americans. He suggests the $8 billion fraud is a result of this unified tribal strategy.
