It's a fucking disaster. Pardon my fucking French, but, you know, it is what it is.
Buckle up, girls. Buckle up.
I met her through a friend. I was looking for an investment and that's how I got introduced.
Yeah, she was, how do I want to word this? Flirtatious to a male, of course. You know, she's not exactly what I would consider ugly. She wore relatively revealing clothes, which no big deal. I mean, but she told me about some of her deals and I had said I would be willing to split one with her. And that's how we started progressing forward.
It was a famous CPA accountant in Newport, she told me. I don't even know the guy's name, nothing. I know nothing about him. And we get the money back plus interest in 90 days. She goes, I've loaned him before. He always pays early and he's a repeat customer. I went, oh, okay.
She always made it sound like he was protecting her. That's how she worded it. There didn't seem to be any love interest between the two of them. It was more of maybe a mentor type of thing.
One day, and it was before I had put the money into the deal... I went, I spent a day with John McCabe. He drove me around.
So she was holding the car with a signed pink slip from the owner. She had them in a little, like a little plastic envelope, like a clear envelope just to protect them, you know. And I collected six of them because I wanted to verify VINs. And so John was like, hey, no big deal. I'll take you to all the car places.
We went to a place kind of close to where I'm at now in Costa Mesa. There was probably 20 Ferraris. Not all hers, but some. And there was one the guy was working on. He was a restoration. He was working on it. It was a black one. And it was an older one, like in the 80s or something like that. But it was pretty well torn apart on the inside. But he was restoring it. And Chilton matched the Vins.
And I'm like, it matched. So we did that to the rest of the cars. I had lunch with John.
So we go down into Newport. We go to Lido, and it's down there. We go in. I go right on it. I'm standing on it. It's got a little dinghy next to it. Very nice condition, clean, not stinky, the whole bit. Oh, okay, he fires it up. See?
You know, she spilled a bunch of jewelry and watches onto her desk out of the safe she had under her desk. You know, it was like 12 inches by 12 inches square, and she just dumped it. You know, she had tags on them saying who they belonged to, you know, that kind of thing.
She showed me her Rolls Royce she was having wrapped.
You know, when you're in that mode, you're excited because you're theoretically going to make money.
And so it all looked legit. So... I said, let's go ahead and do it. So she drew up a contract and we just did a deal for that particular deal, $125,000 for me to go in and then I'd have the money back in 90 days, plus X amount of money.
And they're like, well, these rich people get paid once every three months, and they need this money just to bridge from one paycheck to another. Their checks are so big, it doesn't matter to them. And I'm like, okay.
Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I heard it. I heard it. She wanted to make like a lone mafia situation down in South Orange County. And that was kind of our motto. We were all like, it was me, her, her assistant, John, and another guy. We're like, let's just put our heads together. We have all these skills here. Let's make something of this. Let's make it like a legit big business.
And let's use her business model that she's got running, which at that time we didn't know was false, to build upon that. And, you know, I was going to be the guy to like technologize everything because everything, there was nothing on the computer. So I was going to do that side of it, you know, take care of all the technology. And, you know, everybody was going to do some of their part.
And she was on board.
I had worked with an online software company to put her loan business online. And so we could track and we could look at everything, all the loans, where they are, where they are in their process, how much money is going to come back to us, everything. It was all spelled out. Well, so I said, I got it all running and I worked with her assistant to both learn it.
