Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I was dressed as parking lot security. So I got $150,000 in jewels, and as I'm sticking my bags in my van, a police officer shows up. I pull out a phone. I'm on the phone with the dispatcher, the guy who went that way. For the past 40 years, my father's been a pimp. And so... Okay. There's a really interesting system in nightclub stuff, because I worked this system, too.
So, like, it was, like, father and son working. But... You know hostess bars in Japan? Yeah.
Chapter 2: What role did Darius's father play in his upbringing?
So they get paid to drink with you and things like that? Yeah, yeah. They kind of create the illusion that they're kind of falling for you. But it's understood by the men. They flirt. They don't have sex.
Chapter 3: How did Darius describe the nightclub system he worked in?
supposedly. They flirt. It's a whole... It's like taking a girl out and she is all into you and drinks with you and everything. It's funny because I read a book on it. It was like, wow, it's not prostitution. So in the Hispanic community in America and also abroad, those exist, but in a different way.
So they're nightclubs, and you invite these girls to drink, and they pay them for them to drink. So, like, at the time, we were selling domestic beer. So, like, a Coors Light would cost $10 at the bar. So $5 of that goes to the girl. But she gets a ticket. And so, like, a little ticket represents $5.
And the guys who bring her there that night, which is, like, the people in charge of her security, transportation, all that, they redeem the tickets for cash at the end of the night. Okay. Yeah.
so and that's kind of the system but there's also you know like the prostitution is a little thing to it yeah yeah yeah so you you don't collect money for the actual the actual sex itself but just like okay i'm gonna take care of you the whole time This is your fee for the night. And so we run that across, you know, we'd have 40, 50 girls in the club. My dad ran the system in like the 2000s.
He had a really famous nightclub back then in New Rochelle, New York. It was called... Eclipse I was really popular like then it was like 2006 2007 and a lot of government corruption and a lot of stuff like that but he made a lot of money he ran 127 working girls every single night of the week seven nights a week and and this is what I'm growing up like this is where it gives context and
And so I'm going around with him in the vans with all the girls. And, like, these women are, I don't know. Do you know New York women, like, how they really act? Like, the ghetto New Yorkness? It's terrible. Like, it's awful. I remember porno mags and condoms and chicken wing bones and, man. And that was growing up. Right. Yeah. And you're just a kid. I'm just a kid.
I didn't know that wasn't normal. How old were you? I mean, he was doing that my whole life. Okay. Yeah, my whole life he was doing that. Because my mom worked for him in the bar. But she wasn't one of the girls. She was like a bartending. She was shitty at her job. And he ended up like... wifing her up and he got pregnant and things like that. And so my mom was a young mother.
So she had my brother at 15 and then she had me at 19, which is, she's originally from Dominican Republic. So it's not a normal, isn't it? Yeah. So, and, um, Yeah. And so I grew up in that environment. So he had, you know, three, four, 16 passenger vans full of women at all times.
He had, uh, remember he had a Porsche that he kept as a filing cabinet where you just put the files away and things like that and paperwork. And then when I was young, my parents split, but it was terrible. It was really bad. It got so bad that they're in the Supreme Court. They went to the New York Supreme Court, and there's stuff that's actually case law.

Chapter 4: What hustles did Darius engage in as a child?
God loves us. We're doing the greatest things in the world. We're about to hit it big. And I'm waking, I'm yelling. I'm excited. I wake my buddy up and get off the couch. I'm throwing pounds at him. I'm like, let's do this. And, uh, The girl, she wakes up and she said, do you guys say something about what she says from like a distance?
So before she gets there, I put everything on top of a blanket. I'm like, it was acting all innocent. I was like, what are you talking about? She's like, I'm expecting a package with. I was like, what? So it turns out that the guy that she was cheating my buddy with, he was a drug dealer.
And so he was using her as a mule just to receive the packages, you know, just hold the packages and things like that. I didn't know that. And I yelled at her. I was gonna say, at my house? Like, you're gonna get us raided. Yeah, that's exactly what, because remember, this was like 2017, 2016. Setting up a fucking ice lab and making ice in the fucking living room. Like, what are you doing?
Yeah, yeah, that's why I told her I was like I put everything back in the box. I gave her the box I don't want the fucking problems. I was like look don't fucking do that shit ever again This is I'm not trying to get rated for somebody else's stupidity that I don't got nothing to do with and I'm not even Gaining anything financially. I'm not getting any money out of this right and so I
We leave it at that. She takes the box, whatever, takes it to the guy, whatever. Remember, I told her. I was like, don't fucking do it again. And so she does it again. But this time, I was at work when I came home, and I wasn't supposed to be home. I came home early. And no one knew I was there. Like, none of them are roommates or nothing like that. So I see the box on the doorstep. Shit.
I took the box. I told you once. I'm not going to tell you twice. And I caught a bus, went to my buddy's house, opened the box, you know, unpacked it. Same exact stuff. Towels, dryer vent stuff, you know, all these other things. And so I was like, this is ours now. And I'm like, and that's where I say, like what I say, it really went downhill.
So it was just like, after that, I come home and they're, both of them are there at the house. They're like, my God, have you seen a box? And I was like, I've been at work all day. I don't know what you're talking about. They're like, and they're, they're asking neighbors. They think that maybe that the guy who mows the lawn took it. I don't know. Nothing. Right. I don't know a thing. And, um,
She, like, she goes around driving around looking for, I don't know what she was looking for, but I guess she was trying to look for leads to find the box. She was driving around erratically. Cops pulled her over. And then, like, I don't know how, but she ended up getting baker acted. Yeah, yeah. She starts acting crazy like she could be a harm to herself.
Yeah, so they lock her up for like 72 hours. Her family comes to start picking up her stuff because things had already been going downhill long before that. Right. So... And when she gets back, she, you know... I was dating the friend at that point. I started, you know, you're gonna fuck her up. Right. And so... She was gone. I'm like, okay, that's done with.

Chapter 5: How did Darius's experiences shape his views on crime and business?
They never see each other. Right. They always miss each other. And then, like, finally, like, I had started putting trackers on their cars and stuff like that because there was, like... Like, new stuff. You're watching YouTube trying to figure stuff out. Like, how does a private detective do it? How do these people track these things? So I found those trackers with the magnets.
And we put them under the cars. We put them under the car. We followed it. Like, we hit their house again to see where they would go. And so we saw they went to, like, this mansion in, like, St. Pete. And when they did, we're like, okay, that's the spot. We're going to hit them. What do you think's there? It was like a mini mansion, so I'm thinking it's more drugs. More drugs, maybe money.
At this point, we'll hit this and we'll be done with it. Because at this point, I was going off the trail. I'm thinking we're going to make a whole business of robbing these guys. We're going to have product at all times. I'm fucking delusional. Absolutely delusional. And my business model is continuing to rob the exact same drug dealers. The exact same ones. I mean, hey.
At some point, I would think they're going to be waiting for you, you know, at some point. At some point. I mean, I was waiting for them. You know, you tell people, like, hey, pull up on me. I'm right here at this address. If they're really about it, they're going to pull up. So at this point, it's like. I was just angry at the world. I was angry at myself. I was just mad about life in general.
And I was a young kid with no guidance and just...
willing to do anything to look cool so that that was even worse so like you know i got friends around me like male friends around me that are willing to follow me into the house and i'm willing to be the guy that what is the first one in the house like like that much of a dumbass hey do you do you guys watch the house for a little bit or what do you do we usually try to like watch the house to see routines and so if we got the routine down it was like okay there's nobody home
Then we'd do like a soft test. So it would usually be like a disguise, you know, dress up as an electrician or a thing, put a clipboard on, safety vest. Would the guy call it a Bob knock? Yeah. Knock on the door, ask for Bob. Yeah. Mine was Cheryl. They were Cheryl or Kevin. Right. Yeah. And so nobody was there. Boom, hit him again.
And even if there was there, I was waiting for them to be there. I always had a pair of brass knuckles on me because I was mad at these people. One of the times they broke in, my dog had escaped. And so I was like, I was just rampant about That was the only thing I had for like six or seven years or something. So like at that point, mind you, I've left my mom's house.
I'm not talking to my family anymore. I'm just, all I'm doing is either working or in a school or committing crimes. So literally I've got nothing for orientation or guidance and I'm just like really on the deep end. And it's only getting worse. It's only getting way worse. And so... we go and we see that match, right? I don't want to... Yeah, the mini mansion. Yeah, the mini mansion.

Chapter 6: What happens when the police arrive at the restaurant?
I was like, bro, get the fuck out of my restaurant right now. I don't care how cool we are. No one calls the police in this restaurant. Because if fucking... You get the fuck out of it. Because whenever you have that many calls against you over time, it makes you lose your liquor license. Because there's strikes on your liquor license.
So they're going to be like, oh, these guys are rowdy, disruptive. You're over-serving alcohol.
Chapter 7: How does Darius's relationship with his girlfriend develop?
This is the things that they're going to come to the conclusion of. That's why I don't get the fuck out. And fucking...
you know and so like I stayed with her she's like she's paranoid if she wants me to drive her because she drove with him in his car but she drove her car to his house right so I'm waiting I'll take you to her car and I take her to her car and things like that she was like hey can we finish that drink and we end up fucking like you know right Typical degenerate.
So, you know, and we got into like a few months long relationship and things like that. She was not the best person, you know, because she was like a, she was on a lot of Adderall. So someone had prescribed her like almost 200 Adderalls per month. I don't know what doctor does that, but like it was a real script too. Right. And so she was taking some and then selling the rest.
And so, but it got to one point where I'm like, I'm basically riding around. She doesn't have a job or nothing like that.
Chapter 8: What led to the decision to commit the jewel heist?
So I'm just like, eh, right? I need someone to soak in my misery with me. And so she's like, she runs out of Adderall one day. She's like, I can't find Adderall. She has me driving all around, like all like the dope spots in Atlanta looking for Adderall. She's a little white girl and she's scared. I thought she had a prescription. She ran out. Okay, so she's taking too much, more than her script.
Well, yeah, well, she's selling a big portion of it, and she's keeping the other... But she's popping these things like M&Ms. So there's no doctor in the world that are going to give her... She's already got a prescription for almost 200 Adderalls, and you killed it in a month. I'm not going to give you another one. Right. Okay.
So she has me driving around to all these dope houses, or not even dope houses, like the gas stations where you see... You know people are selling drugs for sure, and I'm walking up to these guys because she's terrified to get out of the car. I'm like... You guys got Adderall? I'm not taking this shit. She's like, nah, man, I got Percocet. I'm like, it's the opposite.
I was like, look, I can't find it. I'm not continually doing this. I'm not going to every fucking gas station looking for drugs. She's like, okay, I'm just going to do meth then. I'm like, meth or ice. Right. Yeah, I'm just going to do ice then. I'm like, that's a big jump. Yeah. She's falling off the rails. It's already showing the signs. I'm like, hey, this is about to end.
But she came from money. Like, you know, Selma, Alabama, where it's like the Martin Luther King stuff, where they had the voters' rights march, where they got hit with the batons and the dogs. It was the famous one with all the pictures for the civil rights stuff back in Martin Luther King. Okay. I don't know. They made a movie about it. It was called Selma. Okay. Yeah.
So the famous church that had conducted all that, she was actually the daughter of one of their pastors, things like that. So they had actual money, things like that. She drove around BMW X7, all this other stuff. She had pretty good money. And so it was like one of her family members died, left her an inheritance. It was like some coins and some jewels and stuff like that.
So she took it to a spot that she knew in Conyers, Georgia, that sells coins and jewels. And I would go with her. I don't know. I'm nosy. I'd always look at security systems just because I used to install them. I used to uninstall them. So I was just like, I'm looking around like, This is a really old system. I know this system. This is terrible. But not just that.
You look at all the display cases, and everything is just strewn about. It's not orderly. You go into a jewelry store, you have everything on display, pretty. It's not that. And so it just gets me like, how do you know everything that's in here? There's no order in the system. So I asked the guy who runs the store. I was like, how do you know everything that's in here? You got so much stuff.
He's like, that's the best part. Sometimes I'll find a piece that's worth $30,000 I didn't even know about. Is this guy an idiot? Hey, man. I don't make people. I say for every one smart person, probably a dozen idiots. Okay. That seems reasonable. I see. It's more like one to 100, but okay. Yeah.
