Yeah, well, of course you are. And if you're talking about the guy that walked out in front of the car.
That's why I wonder if a lot of people could do a lot of this stuff. You have to stay cool. I was staying cool. But of course, in your mind, you're running through scenarios because I'm thinking I'm basically sitting on my piece because it's out of a holster, but sitting under my thigh. But obviously, if he's already... brandishing something, I'm not going to get it in time.
So I've got to start thinking strategically about how I'm going to do stuff. But typically, you just want to engage in some kind of conversation and figure out what he wants. Because again, he's just talking a bunch of bullshit at this point anyway. So you're like, again, I'm supposed to be coming in as somebody bigger and better than these guys are used to.
Because I'm new, but man, I've been through this game before and you guys are the novices. So I'm just playing it off like that. But yes, my brain is running through 800 things because again, I'm stuck there and thinking, okay, well, I'm half trapped in this thing. But if I can talk to him, maneuver myself out of the card where we can be mono-y mono, that's great.
But then if that's the case and I end up Having a piece prepared and he's got eight other dudes that are also standing here, that's also not advantageous to be out of the car. Do you think I'm just going to run over this dude? That's where some of your training does come in.
Those scenarios where you've run where people are coming up and doing these fake deals at the window and telling you to try to figure out what you're going to do and you try to shoot somebody and you get wax bullets peltering all over the back of your neck, which don't feel good.
I never thought about that. Oh, dude. They'll leave good old whelps, too. Yeah, you wear protective equipment. They get through the little crevices and do some damage.
It's essentially cocaine before it's cooked down into crack. And essentially, crack is like a purified high and a really fast high, and that's what went into the poor neighborhoods through the 80s when it was created. But my objective in that instance was to try to move beyond the crack because what I wanted were the suppliers.
So I want when you come in with bricks of cocaine, you're not buying bricks of crack. You're creating the crack from those bricks. So it's like baking powder and it's like crap. eat and buy at the grocery store.
So they either step on it or make it pure, however they're going to break it down. But my objective at that point was to move past them because you're dealing with crack. By the time somebody's bought it, they've already sent it to a house to cook. They've broken it into a hundred pieces and now you're giving it to me. I'm not interested in that.
So by not being interested, first of all, culturally, it made sense because I don't really have a game where people are looking for hard is what they call it at the time. Hard as crack or hard as cocaine? Hard as crack. And the powder was the cocaine powder. And then my objective, again, was you need to introduce me to the guy you get it from, ultimately. I see.
Yeah, well, it all breaks down into you turn $100 into a million dollars pretty quick when you break it down into all those pieces. Like you would anything else, you sell a car part by part. It's a lot of work. But once you sell it part by part, it's worth a lot more than just buying the car in the first place. So it's the same concept. But my objective, again, it was difficult in a drug case.
It would be something that I could try to just work straight up that chain. But the problem was for me that even when I had somebody that was helping me get what I needed, I still had to figure out a way around that to go to somebody else because this wasn't a drug case. It was a gang case.
So I'm thinking, okay, I've got all these gang members that are all connected and affiliated and they're doing this business. This guy's kind of doing me righteous. He's getting powder, but I still need to move on to somebody. So I'm trying to find excuses to say, man, I can't trust you anymore and move on to somebody else who he's affiliated with.
and still not have somebody get totally pissed off because I'm trying to create a case where I'm locking in a bunch of gang members, not necessarily just, oh, I finally got the dope I want and we can close the door now.
I both benefit and lose some traction. And the benefit was things like that, because that was still the word on the street. They would ask you. I would ask them. I would leverage that same thing. Are you a cop? You know, you got to tell me. I would say the same thing to people that I was meeting because I had to pretend to be very suspicious, too, because I'm supposed to be the guy.
Contrary to that, though, at the period of time when I was doing this was the 2005 through 2008. In this particular case, there wasn't super sophisticated equipment. There was new equipment coming out, but it wasn't super reliable. And so when it comes to the wires you wear, they tape it to your chest in the movies and all this kind of stuff.
Put on a T-shirt. That's what it was. That sucks. Yeah, it totally sucks. It's like a tape recorder on your chest. Can you please do better than this? Oh, that's scary. So I never wore a wire for that reason because I thought it's the most obvious freaking thing ever. All you have to do is even just messing around, just kind of shove me and be goofing around and figure out what's going on here.
Yeah. That's terrifying. I tried all kinds of other things. They had some things that were on key chains and I used my phone. At the time, the phone just had a limited amount of space. You get 60 seconds. Dude. And yeah, I was literally recording one deal in the back of a car and it went off like some kind of alarm, like it had run out of space on the recorder. And I had to figure out like-
It depends on the type of questioning. I've gotten some where they're just rattling off questions. I just say, man, you obviously are a novice. You've never done this before because you don't ask somebody questions like that. If you're really in business to do real business, that's not how it works. Other times, like I said, I would pull up vouching for him and blah, blah.
