So they'll just stipulate my evidence.

And yeah, I just won't hear anything.

And then maybe one day, you know, they say to me, this has happened.

Yeah, well, I've shown no, never test, never sentencing, because that's more for victim impact.

So and I'm not part of that, that section, usually they would have someone who works at the company to come up and say, Well, here's a, you know, whatever, here's what the bean counters said that we lost, you know, but yeah, never in sentencing.

But I have had a counterfeiter text me from sentencing once.

She was

when you talk about crazy femme fatale characters this woman takes the cake um this was again this is probably 2005 this was in the peak when again there was clients had budgets and this was a case where it was called hollywood accessory and they were blatantly advertising in uh like star magazine and national inquirer in the back of these magazines with fakes

And they would blur off the logos, but they were advertised.

So Hollywood Accessory was a big one.

And we started making purchases and we started identifying, okay, this person, blah, blah, blah, where they are.

We did.

And by that time, we stopped providing field investigations for ourselves because our Intel operation was really what was most efficient.

So we had local Los Angeles investigators go out and try to serve her and things like that.

They couldn't.

Um, so, um, I ran her DMV so I could figure out what her birthday was at the time.

That was how I found out her birthday.

And I was like, oh, wait, wait, her birthday's in three days.

You know, go back with, with balloons and, uh, flowers on this day and she'll open the door.

Nice.
