And I said, Hey, listen, like, um, you know, I got a plan. Do you want to come up for a weekend? Um, and I'll talk to you about it.

Um, I told her about it and I said, listen, like how it'll be is like, I will pay you a, you know, a certain percentage, 5% of whatever I'm shipping out, 5% of that profit margin for that package is yours. Plus a standard fee.

We'll do like $5 a package plus the percentage plus gas money, all the expenses, car payments. And we had a spare bedroom. So she, if she wanted, she could live there. So she had very well, taken care of. Plus like, you know, unlimited alcohol, moonshine, weed, shrooms, ecstasy, acid, like basically whatever you want, you can take, you know? So that was kind of the arrangement that I had.

And then she would go and I would, in the morning, I would wake up, I would check my orders, I would print out addresses on thermal labels because thermal labels don't use microprinting, which means my IP address won't be on that label.

For me, I bought a thermal printer because with a thermal printer, it doesn't use ink. It uses thermal paper and there's no micro printing with those. So in the morning I would wake up, I would print out, like let's say I'm sending you half a pound of weed. I print out your address and on the back of it, I write half a pound of weed. I package up a half a pound of weed.

I have it sealed up in my clean room. I have my fake return addresses, slap it on there, and I slap destination address on that box, and I throw away the backside of the label, which says half a pound. One of the things my cousin was concerned about, she was like, if I'm sending out these packages and the FBI fingerprints them, they'll see my fingerprints. I was like, yeah, it's true.

It's not false. It's true. And she was like, well, that's kind of an issue, right? I was like, no, because at the end of the day, if you're at the post office and you touch a box, you still have plausible deniability. Right now, if your fingerprints are inside one of those, you know, the plastic that seals the drugs or on the inside of the box. Not so much.

So for me, I would seal the package because I'm working with it on the inside of it. I would seal it and I would have like, you know, two or three pairs of latex gloves on. I bleached the area that I did it in on a regular basis to make sure there's no, you know, DNA. Like there's a ridiculous amount of stuff that kind of goes into this and then actually packaging it up.
