Yeah, there's no lab. And it was like the room that I had like the cannabis in was separate from the main house. So that wasn't something that they were around.

Right, and that was in a clean room. Right, yeah. So they don't see any of that. And all the narcotics that I have were kept in a safe in there.

Yeah, so what they do is they raid, they go through, they find this. All right, so moving back a little bit, one thing that my cousin had been worried about was she was like, all right, let's say we do this and we get caught. I was like, listen, if we get caught, it's because I screwed up. I'm in charge of everything. I'm in charge of the security. I'm in charge of everything that goes on.

So if something doesn't go right, then it's my fault. So I was like, listen, if they come and they raid us, I'll tell them it was all me. Because at the end of the day, why am I not? If I don't, then they're going to put it on everyone. So when they came in, they searched and they're going through. And they come and they see me like, oh, any drugs in the house? I was like, yeah, they're upstairs.

I was like, yeah, they're upstairs.

They're in my safe. They're all mine. I'm a darknet vendor. And they were like, what? And they were blown away. But like, again, I had an agreement with my cousin prior to this, that if this happened, this worst case scenario, we had a ton of contingency plans. That's part of having good operational security and having good information security policies.

It's like, you know, do you have an incident response policy at your work? So didn't we. And this was agreed to prior to anything. So that was the thing. If we get raided, I admit everything was mine. And I did. I said, listen, I'm a darknet vendor. Everything's mine. They're like, what's the combination of the safe? Gave them the combo. What do I do? Say no, they're going to open it anyways.

So I go for my arraignment, right? So now I move out of the house I was in to a different apartment. So the Department of Homeland Security showed up on the day of my arraignment to that old house because they didn't know I moved. They wanted to arrest me there and bring me into court in handcuffs, but I didn't live there anymore. And the geniuses didn't know I didn't live there anymore.

And the rock stars they are, They had no clue where I was. So my ex had told them, oh, he moved, and this is the address. And by the time they got to this address, I was already halfway to the federal courthouse to go turn myself in to the U.S. Marshals for my arraignment.

They said, listen, in the time that you were a vendor, so I think it was in total a year and a half or two years, they were like, in the short time that you were a vendor, you have... crawled into more crevices and learned more about this culture and seeped into this culture than we've been able to do in six years.
