Those 22 companies held a total of 46 taxi medallions, the metal plates on the hoods of yellow cabs that allow them to legally pick up people on the streets. Freidman at one time was one of New York City's biggest taxi owners with over 800 medallions.
But perhaps even more interesting than the story of Freidman's rise and fall is simply the names of his cab companies. Freidman has named his companies after various liquors, foods, and exotic locations.
Here's the list of Freidman's 22 companies that filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy:
- Hypnotic Taxi LLC
- Vodka Taxi LLC
