Yeah.

And also coincidentally, um, she lived two blocks from where I used to live in Beverly Hills.

It was a little walk up, little walk up apartment in Beverly Hills.

And she lived like two blocks to where I used to live to the point where we may have overlapped and seen each other in the grocery store before this case started.

So, yeah, they served her and she kind of went crazy, you know, and all this stuff.

Well, one of the things that they did was they they moved right away.

They moved and left the location.

And I want to tell this chronologically, but the funny thing is I've learned so much since then.

It's funny to mention the apartment they were in where they serve them.

Her and her husband are in an episode of that show called, what's that addiction show?

Intervention.

Okay.

Her and her husband were in a show called Intervention.

And one of his college buddies, they had the intervention in that apartment with the counterfeits.

right and they had a warehouse where they were shipping and all that stuff yeah but there's there's a uh scene where the guy is calling for help at her computer desk with all these boxes of counterfeit gucci sunglasses behind it which is hilarious so then anyway the case continues and they move they move where they live they move the warehouse um and um we we ended up

getting lucky with both because again you know my boss my initial boss in the 90s she talked like this she was a small little stout woman kind of remind you to throw mama from the train you know or the the mom from mama from goonies right but um but she always told me she said it's better to be lucky than to be smart you know but sometimes they don't necessarily fall into your lap but you can find gems if you sit back and wait you know like fishing and

We had two interesting breaks.

One, we had an informant, a former employee who ratted them out and told us where their warehouse was, which was towards downtown Los Angeles.

And then we also, my brother, he was like, you know what, might as well call, because there were no arrests, but we might as well call, or none that were filed to the county.

But my brother was like, why don't we just, I'm going to call Beverly Hills Police and see if there were any incidents.
