No need to make a trail.

Just bring the cash to the boss.

Darknet Diaries
173: Tarjeteros

But this was going to be tricky since the boss wanted Alberto to deliver the cash himself to Eastern Europe.

Darknet Diaries

Specifically, they were told to bring around $200,000 to Bucharest, Romania, and then they can keep the rest.

okay so alberto had to deliver it but he didn't want to go alone so he got elvis and amir to go with him to romania but this must have been some adventure how do you transport two hundred thousand dollars in cash across the ocean like that you probably don't put it all in your check luggage and it probably can't all fit in the carry-on so they had to split it up among three of them and somehow make their way through tsa and onto a plane

all without spilling out or looking too suspicious and that's just the cash what about all their other travel items like clothes and toothbrushes packing for this trip must have been interesting for these three guys in their 20s who have probably never been to europe before with 200 000 in cash in tow they make it to bucharest though and carry their 200 000 in cash to the destination

Darknet Diaries
173: Tarjeteros

This guy they met with was just a handler, so they hand him the cash.

Darknet Diaries
173: Tarjeteros

He disappeared with the money.

Darknet Diaries
173: Tarjeteros

Job was done, though, and the boss was happy.

Darknet Diaries
173: Tarjeteros

Time to get out of Bucharest and head back home and party since back home waiting for them was their half the money, almost $200,000 to split amongst themselves.
