How much of Timothy Dexter's success stories are actually that farcical? Did he really send cats to Havana and made a fortune selling them there? Was he really told to send coal to Newcastle just to make a fortune off the strike at the time? Did he really fake his death to see the reaction?

I wonder where exactly are the sources of these...and whether they are as crazy as it seems or there is actually quite a bit of logic involved.
