I'd balance it out, you know?

Yeah.

What was crazy is like when I got arrested, it was like a weird moment where like, I, I knew it was like, I was going to be facing like a hundred plus years.

Yeah.

I think because of that,

It helped with the withdrawals because I knew I was actually going to quit.

It was life-saving for me in a way.

Getting the rest of this time was truly life-saving.

That eight years of probation, being away from drugs, really did...

actually helped me blessing in disguise almost right i would have died for sure because like what happened was they got arrested a few months before me and because they got arrested a few months before me i knew that sooner or later i was going to get arrested yeah so like i was just like basically trying to run out like spend all my money i was at the casino every day i was playing like you know like 200k cash you know cash games jeez uh like you know 50k hands and back right every day like all day holy crap that's how i met like the rulo

That was in Hard Rock in Florida.

Oh, yeah, in Florida.

Wow.

So why did they get arrested way before you, you think?

Um, like I, because I had left the company months before them and I think they were trying to get me to like cooperate because they knew like my involvement was less than like in any crime I've noticed.

They always, the main kid is always like, they're never going to let that person cooperate unless they have like some higher evidence on some big guy.

But like if they're focusing just on the case, you're always better off being the second guy because they'll give you a lifeline.

Um, I think like it depends if they don't have a strong enough case.

already like i think in this situation they already knew they would win the case but like it helps having somebody on their side that's from the inside right so they didn't even need me really yeah they already had so much evidence right yeah what evidence did they have before i guess public right like we were like publicly doxed like telling everybody and there was like proof that we didn't have these domestic card at the time right yeah it was proof that this guy that we said uh

was a ceo was like this like old white guy that we found off the internet just went to his house found him in canada and he had no idea he's a professor you know he literally like went to his house and like the guy's like the sweetest guy he's in the documentary he had no idea yeah and it's funny like in the documentary like he introduces himself like i'm michael edwards the ceo of centra and then like he like laughs like they they did very well like on the editing that's funny yeah that was before you could just ai someone so you had to use someone yeah someone real right
