John Hancock was the money man for the Sons of Liberty and Sam Adams was the contact with his crew of smugglers. The Sons of Liberty were smugglers and they were concerned with their bottom line rather than protest. The fable of the Boston Tea Party shows how they were concerned with the Economics of the cost of tea. The British lowered the tea tax making the Dutch tea the smugglers sold higher in price. It makes sense in that context than the legend.
