Yeah, I had some doozies. I had some doozies in Tampa and in Florida. I always said, and this is my motto, I don't know if I said it last time on your show, the bad guys were the easy part. I really were because I had to overcome so many hurdles as a case agent, as the undercover. I also was the vault custodian. I did my own workups. ATF is a smaller agency than FBI and DEA.

So I have to wear many, many hats and do many, many things. And we have a bad supervisor or even worse, a horrible prosecutor. Nothing's worse. The same thing applies in the Department of Justice all over. You get a bad prosecutor who doesn't do justice to your case, it can all unravel. And you spend a year, year and a half putting it together. That is so frustrating.

That's one thing I like about what I'm doing now. as a writer and getting involved more and more, maybe movie production, maybe TV series production, is you can work as hard as you want, be successful as you want, and produce as much as you want. While in the federal government, that's not always the case. And there's people that want to hold you back and don't want you to succeed.

And there's a lot of issues that people just don't understand the ins and outs of the government and politics that make it hard sometimes to overcome. And it's a lot of personal vendetta and personal grudges. People can be very, very nasty that way and make it very, very difficult. Like that one case, I mean, one of my supervisors had, he was very angry at another undercover.

He decided to take it out on him, a supervisor, right? And we had an H2, a Hummer. H2 is a very large, people who don't know, it's a very large vehicle, very expensive vehicle. It was supposed to be made only for selective use to undercover work. It's a flash car, right? You know, you want to do a by bus. It's a car you use very selectively. This guy decides I'm taking away from him.

I'm going to punish you. And now it's my G ride. And I'm going to use it all the time. He lived in Land O'Lakes, by the way, in Pasco. And he had to go down to Tampa. And he's gassing up twice a day once I get there. He's getting maybe nine miles a gallon. Right. He did that for over four to five years. Right.

He even had agents come in early because in downtown area, he couldn't fit that monster in the parking garage. So he would have an agent get in there, park early on the side. And when he said, hey, I'm on my way, I'm around, he would have to pull his car out so he can park early. You can't make this shit up. Unfortunately, this is all real stuff. And he will park aside.

So, of course, he puts his placard there. So the city's not making any money from that. He keeps that out all day. So he was a control freak. And the amount of excessive money Tamfield Division spent, and ASAC knew about it, the SAC knew about it, but they did nothing. because they didn't want that conflict, that battle. So that's a waste. You know how much more?
