I'm just 10 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 3: practicing my rhymes. 11 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to start this off by saying that I 12 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: know any advice given to me here is not legal advice. 13 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 3: So here's the deal. I've been buying drugs. 14 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, there we go, starting off strong, and that's 15 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: our legal advice. Chade, I love it, and buying them 16 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: from the same person for about two years for personal use. 17 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 3: I'm so intreat. 18 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: Admitting of buying illegal substances on we read it on 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: the legal sub on the legal sub reddit, that is 20 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: illegal is illegal. Over the course of this time, I 21 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: became friends with my dealer to a certain degree. About 22 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: one and a half years ago, my friend started asking 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: me to cash out my payment in bitcoin rather than cash. 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: What a trendy and up and coming dealer. This guy 25 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: is look. 26 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: Doesn't he doesn't want this stuff. Okay, this is fiat, 27 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: you know what? This is all garbage? Wow, Yeah, that's 28 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 3: how little you think I care. I burned my money 29 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 3: on fire. 30 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: He re wants only bitcoins, baby, or a theoreums. 31 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: Fiat more like, get the fielk out of my face. 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: Don't put it in his face. So I made the payments. 33 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: It made no difference to me. So I sent the bitcoin. 34 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: On a few occasions, my friend would cash at me 35 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: money and add it to the money I already owed 36 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: him because he wanted more bitcoin. So basically like he 37 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: would send him money via cash app and then oh 38 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: he would send like all that money via bitcoin. 39 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: He's a little big coin over there, he's going on. 40 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: Asked a few times why didn't buy the bitcoin himself, 41 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: and he said it was because he didn't have all 42 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: of the required documents to verify his count to be 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: able to make bitcoin transactions through cash app. He was 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: waiting on replacements. Whatever the reason, I didn't really question it. 45 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: And looking back through my history, I did this about 46 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: twenty times over the course of one and a half 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: years to the tune of twenty thousand dollars. I send 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: them twenty thousand dollars worth of bitcoin, I think, like 49 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: just in laundered money. So like not even the bitcoin 50 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: that he was using to buy the drugs, like the 51 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: bitcoin that he was being cash at. 52 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 4: Wow. 53 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 54 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: Also, if it was an inconvenience to do this for him, 55 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gone out of my way. But it 56 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: was literally no extra work. And I said, hey, we're 57 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: friends to a certain degree, not that it matters, but 58 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: I did not profit anything from doing this. And yes, 59 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I know that buying drugs in any form is illegal. 60 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: At least you know that. Op. It's great. It's great.
