So I already decided that this was going to happen.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
Inside the Mind of a Global Con Artist | Germano Tomassetti

I had to basically get some Dell desktops, get some office space, and they would get us a contract for a year with AT&T where basically AT&T was paying you like 750 USD to 850 USD per employee per month.

And you're paying the employees the minimum wage or a little bit better, which is like 450 USD.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

So you're getting like almost half of that wage off of all of them.

Just coming from everything that we went from, you still you never know, like if this is real, if this is true, if I'm being used, if it's, you know, whatever.
