You know, I don't get afraid easily, but... I would not deal with Paul Oliveira except at arm's length and making sure I crossed every T and dotted the I's. I mean, I believe the man is treacherous. I mean, let me just tell you, you don't go to a meeting by yourself with Paul Oliveira. You make sure you take another person. You make sure you're fucking in public. You don't meet him anywhere.
