Even though you billed for it, you were too lazy to do your job and drive to these different post offices. And I'm like, I came to the realization that at the end of the day, it's not her fault. It's my fault. I was in charge, right? That it was on me to supervise her. And I didn't do a good enough job doing that. And that's why we got raided.

So even my OPSEC at the end of the day and my information security policies were so on point that I would have never had an issue with law enforcement.

Right. Right. And like, I had, so I'd gotten, in my discovery, I had gotten times where I looked through my discovery and the feds actually bought drugs off me. Like,

Right. Right. And like, I had, so I'd gotten, in my discovery, I had gotten times where I looked through my discovery and the feds actually bought drugs off me. Like,

20 times they bought coke they bought lsd they bought cannabis um i think the only thing they didn't buy was moonshine but they bought pretty much everything um and like there was nothing from there's no fingerprints there's no hair not even microscopic dna like there's nothing um and you know at the end of the day again it was like that smallest little thing, you know, is what caused it.

And that was her complacency and my being overwhelmed, doing all these jobs, you know, having my attention so divided that I did not do a proper job in monitoring her and making sure that she was doing her job correctly. What ended up happening was my lawyer had applied for what's called the Franks hearing. A Franks hearing is when you can show law enforcement broke the law in order to catch you.

This was my security policy from the start. It was like, if you guys are going to catch me, I'm going to make this maze so complicated that you're going to have to jump over a wall in order to do it. And then, of course, it's that whole thing you see on Law & Order, where it's like, oh, fruit of the poisonous tree. They broke the law in order to do this, so everything's invalidated.

And that was another part of my plan. That's why I was ready to admit to it so readily. I knew my rights. I knew I wasn't under any obligation to talk. I knew that I was better off asking for a lawyer. But I also knew that they would most likely have to break the law in order to bust me. And then if that's the case and I admit to everything and they get everything, everything's got.

There's nothing else they can do. If everything from that arrest, from that original search warrant is thrown out, there's no case. Now, keep in mind, the feds have a conviction rate of 99%. They don't lose. It's like you playing chess with me and I tell you all my pawns are queens. I'm not going to lose. You know, so that's what it's like playing them. So now I got this Frank's hearing scheduled.

So now I got this Frank's hearing scheduled.

Now, that said, with this Frank's hearing scheduled, a Frank's hearing is very difficult to get. It's super, super hard to get. So the United States attorney, Drescher, contacts my lawyer and tells her, I don't want to go to this Frank's hearing. So like my lawyer contacts me. She's like, oh, he said he doesn't want to go to this Frank's hearing.

I was like, yeah, I bet he doesn't want to go to this Frank's hearing. You know, like we're going to prove like everything that they did. First of all, everything you got was it was done so illegally. So I guess he told her he was like, listen, tell him that if he pleads guilty. I'll give him a maximum of 108 months, which is like nine years.
