He read the paperwork, man. He said he won't even take my money. She said, well, you know, at least he was honest because there's a bunch of them out there that would have took your money, had you sign up for that $75,000, knowing they would still get you the exact same amount of time. So the mandatory minimum was 10. I didn't do the big the big drug transaction they wanted me to.

Yeah, you're right. It was over 15 years ago. Yeah. It's no way we can use that. It's no way we can use that. Your lawyer should have caught that. He should have.
