you are a v interesting person, can i ask how in the absolute fuck you managed to dodge a federal indictment?
Right, because they have over a 99% conviction rate!!
I was the only one out of about 25 of us that did get out of it....And I didn't rat on anyone, while everyone else "cooperated". I did spend 20k on the best Federal attorney I could find, and he eventually got me out on 2 statues....Withdrawal from a conspiracy, and the statue of limitations. About 6 years earlier, the head of all this thought I stole a bunch of pounds out of storage. It wasn't me...But we had a blowout and I was done with them. I had just started in real estate, had gotten off coke, and was trying to start a new life anyways. So everyone knew about the fight I had and that I had left the group 6 years earlier. Federal statue of limitations is 5 years....and by getting in that fight it qualified as "withdrawing from a conspiracy"....Thank you George for the favor!!
I think he knew I didn't steal those pounds, BUT I was going to Tucson behind his back and getting my own loads after I got to know the Mexicans. I think he knew. And this thief I was talking about was the head honchos little brother.
It was exciting times for sure!!
