Running Drugs for the Cartel

Yeah, he says, "I got a good story. We'll lie to them." And he goes, "If you do that, I'll just give you half, and you keep half for yourself, and I'll keep half for me." And I'm like, "Fuck it. I just lost $3.2 million of the cartel's money. I could use any dollar, right?" So I went with this story this lawyer told me. It's my lawyer. And he's like, "Okay, let's tell them this story, and we'll get the money back." So I go lie to the police. And I'm like, man, you guys are crazy. I can't go tell the police. He goes, no, mate, it's not a US matter. Don't worry. And I'm telling this— the police this fake story that was all made up. And literally, when I got arrested, the first part of my discovery was that interview of me going to the police, making up the story. So this— they arrest this lawyer in Australia. He's staying strong. He's not— he's not doing anything. He's taking it to trial. But I don't know it. For 5 years, I'm in prison. And they— they come and get me out of prison. They said, hey, Would you be willing to testify against your crooked lawyer? And if you testify, we might be able to cut your sentence. I'm like, fucking run it. Like, fuck it. Like, this is like the best thing. In gambling, we call it a getback, right? Where you try to get your money back. And this guy got me practically indicted. He made me make up the story, lie to authorities, like stuff you're not supposed to do.
