But when they finally came, they had all the insight about the whole operation. So what we ended up doing was a... Making sure you had those guys on three different posts to make sure if they even see a cop, you call in to the person that's actually dealing so he can disappear. When they come, everybody's gone. So this worked for years.
This worked for two, three, four years to the point where the guy who put it together, when he felt a little heat at all, he had a meeting. He's like, listen, I'm out. What? Everybody, what? I'm out. You guys do it. You can handle it. All I would ask you guys to do is to be generous if you find it in your hearts to be generous.

So what he was just basically saying, kick something back for me, you know, on the back end. But it was so much money involved. That was easy. That was no problem to do. So we outside every day in me. No lie. I didn't even have to go there. But I found a thrill in going there every day, just watching this operation that I was a part of. And I'm like, wow, look at this money that we make.

And who would ever thought some kids coming from where we come from could set this up and everybody can be making this kind of money. And again, the officers didn't like it. They could never find nothing. So what they did a few times is how they got inside of our operation. They would come so heavy, 12 or 14 deep, even with the lookouts being on their posts, and they'll run everybody off.

And then they would set up the operation exactly how we did. had it set up, one guy behind the gate, one in the front, one on the corner, so all the customers that came to buy shit, they would arrest the customers to get the whole operational blueprint. Once that happened, they were able to come make arrests.

But that's around the time the feds started watching because they did not like a person having that kind of operation in a neighborhood where it was almost... but in a way, they just didn't like it. They didn't like it because a few things happened, like people get shot, a neighbor getting affected by, like... I can't even come into my house.

I feel like a prisoner in my own home because these guys are set up all around the whole perimeter and they have lookouts and you can't see their face. They have these masks on and they're talking to somebody looks like on phones or walkie talkies. And I just don't like this anymore. So they had a couple of city hall meetings and they cracked down on us hard.

They really, really did crack down on us hard. But at this time, when I'm climbing up the rank as a I guess I don't want to say a boss, but as a person that's significant in the game. My name starts ringing. So I can't come around as much now because one of the guys, he was like a lower level worker. He said, I got stopped by the cops the other day and they asked me who you were.
