A '''bagman''' (or '''bag man''') is a person designated to collect or distribute illicitly gained money ("[[:wikt:dirty money|dirty money]]"), such as bribes to public officials or money that is collected in a criminal enterprise, such as a "[[protection racket]]" or in the running of a [[Numbers game|numbers racket]]. A bagman may also act as an intermediary in such transactions. "Bagman" is also a (mainly) British term for a traveling salesman. The first known use of the term occurred in <br />
1808.<ref>"Bagman," [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bagman merriam-webster.com]. Retrieved 2017-03-29.</ref><br />
<br />
A bagman may also be known as a '''delivery boy''' or '''running man''', and he may receive a fraction of the money collected. The term may also apply to a person who performs small tasks for those involved in [[organized crime]], such as [[chauffeur]]ing or transporting goods.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}<br />
<br />
The term is sometimes used in other contexts involving controversial money transactions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2013/06/04/nigel_wrights_role_as_party_bagman_deserves_scrutiny_mcquaig.html|title=Nigel Wright’s role as party bagman deserves scrutiny: McQuaig|work=[[Toronto Star]]|date=4 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/mary-anastasia-ogrady-iran-and-argentina-the-defectors-tale-1427065218|title=Iran and Argentina: The Defectors’ Tale: O'Grady|work=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|date=22 March 2015}}</ref><br />
