Well some of you that have been here for a while will remember those names. Those that have joined in the last 2 years wont know those names.
They were both my screen names, so I am Em and Y1F
My case is over and I have been sentenced so nothing to hide or keep secret anymore. The bad news is I got 30do 6. I have 30 years probation and have to serve 6 years in state prison. I turn myself in the day after Thanksgiving. Part of that 6 years is a 5 year minimum sentence. Here in GA MM are parolable after serving 1/3 so I am eligible for parole in less than 2 years. But I have priors and I do not score well on the grid sheet. So I am thinking 4-5 years. The good news is the new governor put together a panel to review prison reform, ways to reduce population etc. So hopefully I get kicked sooner as I plead guilty to one charge of trafficking which is 10-2000 pounds and I had 10.01 or 17 depending how the parole board looks at it. either way I am on the extreme low side.
One of my co-defendants got 10 years probation, and 3 years prison which he has a year of completed.
Now this is all for one county, which does not include the county where the warehouse was. Part of my deal was getting the charges dropped against me,my wife, and one co-defendant there. The other co defendant got probation.
So a brief summary
Y1F grows solo, besides some learning experiences no issues, one buyer, all is great. However its been some time and I want it out of my house.
Y1F gets introduced to some other people, we get a warehouse, I shut down house. Complete nightmare, partners wanting to do dumb shit, lazy, tons of people involved due to size of OP, more work/less money. I start using Eminem as screen name.
I set up a house for an employee so eventually he is independent and can help pay money guy back, this is my exit strategy. I cant just walk away as people are owed alot of money
Warehouse up, then cops knock on door to do knock and talk, shit goes downhill from there. We dont answer, they leave. Later that day, next day I insist on destroying everything. No, money guy wont have it. So secretly, 5-6 days later 3 of us empty warehouse, take plants 30 days in to a couple houses, and harvest one room at my house. I also had a few very sick moms I was trying to salvage.
^^^^Very very very bad move.
10 days after knock and talk, cops raid warehouse, then arrest me, search my house, then search the other house. Like dominoes everything went down.
4 people arrested with various charges. I got the worst punishment by far.
Did I mention the $150,000 fine I got as well? If I pay it off I get off probation in 15 years. How the fuck do they expect me to pay that?
Warehouse before bust
When they searched, this is what they found
Then they took it apart. I heard they brought in an 18 wheeler. There were 16 4x8 tables they rolled out and had to cut walls to get them out
They took everything, the rezes, lights, tables,nutrients,filters, fans. They even took the electrical down that had all the contactors, sub panels etc. They gutted it
SO here is the sickly mom plants at my house. they tried to charge my wife with manuafacturing. I kept arguing they were stored in an the basement and were moved there that day while she was gone from the house. No lights, no irrigation, nothing.
Here is some of the other house when it got raided. Its a mess cause we were moving things from one location to another
All in all I got fucked. My wife went through the wringer but all her charges have been dismissed as part of my plea deal.
All my troubles are from the 2nd county where we took everything from the warehouse. They fucked me good. The first county where the warehouse was gave the main guy (who had the water bill, electric bill in his name and his dad owned it) a few years probation. He got nothing in the 2nd county
Lesson #1 FUCK partners.
Lesson #2 when you get the signs it is going bad, DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY
Lesson #3 save your money and dont keep it in your house.
Lesson #4 Do not grow in rural areas. I am in rural GA. If I would have been in Atlanta, I would have been slapped on the wrist and thats it.
Our lives have been completely fucked. I lost my house to foreclosure shortly after, I lost my moms house a year later cause I couldnt catch up the arrears. Now I am going to be gone for years, and I have a 10 year old and a 15 year old. I probably wont see my 15 y/o graduate high school and wont be involved in her attempts to get a college scholarship as a student athlete.
There so may issues with my case I wont go into. The stuff should have been reweighed but I was told they would just recharge me on one charge for all 3 amounts found in my house, my truck, and the other house. that totaled 27+pounds. If I went to trial and lost I was facing recidivism and I would have gotten 30 years.
Learn from my mistakes.
I am down but not out. I already have a financial interest in an op in a med legal state that is supposed to help my family.
Can you believe I will do more time than the Doctor that killed Michael Jackson? Kind of fucked up
