So we'd gone from nothing.
Most people start as street dealers and they become, you know, they make some money, they start wholesaling to their own underlings and onwards they go.

And Kinahan senior, I'm talking about in recent times,
has tried to own the route of drugs into Europe.
He tried to buy airplanes and he tried to buy routes up through Africa, which is a traditional transport route.
Now, owning the transport route of drugs is one of the most important things next to actually producing them.

And I think Daniel Kinahan always wanted to be something bigger, better, do something as special, do something as unique, impress his father.
His father went on to have one, two, three, another five children with two other women.
