That would leave a trail.

And you don't want that.

And you can't order things that just get shipped directly to your house because then that leaves the cops right to you.

So going into a store and buying gift cards or just withdrawing cash from an ATM is a clean way to drain a stolen card.

Because cash is king.

Since it isn't traceable or trackable, it's not linked to anyone's name.

So it's clean money.

But the problem is thieves sometimes have way more cards than they can cash out.

So they hire people to do it for them.

Sort of like, hey, I'll give you these stolen credit cards.

You go and try to get as much money out of them as possible.

And then you keep a cut.

Okay?

Deal?

Back home in the Dominican Republic, they have a name for this.

Tarjeteros, which means card guys in Spanish.

Thieves, honestly.

The tarjeteros in the DR drive good-looking cars and flash their money around.

And I wonder if Alberto saw some of these tarjeteros around the DR and thought maybe that's what he wanted to do.

After all, he would go back home every now and then and visit and see what everyone was up to.
