Taxi and Limousine Commission

You might hear about medallions in New York City and this is the agency that sells them, enabling a taxi to operate in the city legally.

Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer sitting in prison, used to own several medallions. Those things used to go for over $1 million few no new ones have been made in the last 70 years. That was until Uber and Lyft came in.
