Now, Victor Boot is the Russian arms.
Oh, I know all about Victor Boot, yeah.
So this is one of the guys who set up this special team and this operation to draw him.
They were trying to get him out of Russia so that they could arrest him.
And they finally convinced him.
They sent a rendition team in there to kidnap him, right?
Yeah.
And so they went to, no, they lured him to Thailand, saying that they were setting up, it was an arms deal for the FARC, the Colombian rebel group, and that they wanted to order all these Stinger missiles and all this heavy-duty stuff.
And Victor Butte agreed to come outside of Russia.
But it was very difficult to arrange it because there were certain countries he didn't want to go to.
He didn't trust the security forces there and so on.
So they finally settled on Thailand.
And they got him there and they arrested him.
And this is the guy who helped set up this thing.
So he was in LA.
He was talking to me about doing something.
And one day at lunch, he goes, hey, I want you to meet our best source that we ever had at DEA SOD, which is their special operations division.
And he goes, this guy is like...
amazing.
He's incredible.
