She was like, dude, I'm like a three. She was an easy 10. I was like, what the hell? She was like, who cares? She was like, you're handsome. I was like, whatever. I'm not going to argue with you. I don't think so. I got imposter syndrome. So I'm like, no way. But, but she, you know, I was like, listen, I'm going to get 20 years. And she was like, I was like, you know, just forget about me.

You know, we can be friends and stuff. And she was like, she was like, listen, it's not all about you. I was like, what? She was like, I love you. Like, I'm not, I don't, I don't care how long you get, you know? And that was, that was pretty incredible for me.

Um, but like, it was, I had, I had had people in the past who had better my life, who I said they would stick with me through, uh, a prison term and they didn't. And, uh, so like, I was very leery of it. And that's why I kind of like, just didn't want her to have to deal with that. I knew how much pain and agony it was going to be going forward. And, um, She did, man. It was crazy.

She stuck with me through my everything, through my sentencing, through my actual prison incarceration, like everything.

Towards the end, like, I found this one vendor on the Darknet called Gold, G-O-L-D. And, um... What he would do is he would charge you five to 10% and you would send him your Bitcoin and he would send you cash in the mail. And I love that system.

United States Attorney's big thing was you paid 10% to cash out your Bitcoin. And that shows criminal intent. And I was like, the one thing I said to my defense lawyer, I'm like, dude, you know, there are Bitcoin ATMs that charge 10%, right? Like, it's not like that makes no sense, you know?

So what actually happened was my cousin got complacent. What she was doing is she would go to the post office with, you know, 12 packages. And remember what I said, three packages would have one return address on them. The next three would have a different return address from a different town. So she's going there with like our agreed upon number was three packages.

And now those three packages have the same return address. Now she's going to the post office with 12, 15, 20 packages. And remember, Every three packages has a different return address. So she's going there in some cases with six different return addresses. So they're like, what the hell is this? But again, that is not enough for a warrant.

It's suspicious and it's reasonable suspicion, but it is not probable cause. So what ended up happening was the United States Postal Inspector just cut open a package with no warrant, cut open the visual barrier, cut open the three layers of vacuum sealed, and he found some Coke. And then they used that Coke.

to apply for a federal search warrant for the house after they followed my cousin back to the house. So, like, for the longest time, I was angry at my cousin because I was like, you know, you didn't follow the security policy and now you're potentially costing me 200 years in prison because you were too lazy to drive.
