Pick up a backpack full of Monopoly money.

Drive back.

So I had all these bullshit ass currencies.

So they would take me to what's called a cambio.

And cambios are common throughout Latin America.

Or it's essentially a money exchange.

And so they buy your cruzados and sell you back dollars.

And so after about the third or fourth one of these, and they knew that I was an American because my cousins would take me.

So they're vouching for me.

Oh, yeah, yeah, my cousin from the States.

And so one of these, he's like, why are you doing this crazy transactions, 3,000, 3,000?

He's like, do you got anybody in Miami?

Well, one of the guys I had an excessive trafficking relationship with was out of Miami.

I said, yeah, I got somebody in Miami.

He's like, here, he gives me the information.

Have him take some money.

Drop it off to them there.

We'll give it to you here.

And so that's how I became familiar with what was technically referred to as mirror transactions.

Well, it's essentially just black market money exchanges.
