Drug dealing balla' gets 25 years
- Thread starter iwannaretire
- Start date
I was all for him till I seen he bought a beetle.. that's crossing the line the new beetles are a bitch ride. lol... I wonder if he kept the flower in it.......
We live in the age of haters and snitching is cool and acceptable thats why i dont get down with alot of people an old school high roller like him with Large entourage flashy cars mr t jewelry start up kit .....amazing that he lasted so long in the game with so much showcasing going on ...."The investigation, which started with just a nickname and a phone number, spanned two years. Agents used the tip to eventually track down Smith, building a case as he sent drugs and money crisscrossing the country, often hiding it out of sight in hidden compartments or “traps.”

American guys like him are stuck. No real options to live The Life besides The Game. He obviously had deep connections and people skills. His main man got popped and within a few months he had a new man. Not many people can do that, for a variety of reasons.
I bet you could ask him man to man 5 years deep in his sentence whether it was worth it he would say yes.
Living the life and essentially being killed off at 44 vs 50 years in wage slavery? Particularly if you're a non-snitchin' man in the majority-race at your prison, which is to say you're relatively safe from bodily harm?
Worth it.

Trust me when I tell you Freedom is priceless ....I don't know about him I wouldn't be to proud of everything I worked for ending up Fed auctions and seizures why he had everything in HIS name I have no clue that's all 101 why he isn't using decoy cars when transporting 2.3 million (this is what is reported to have caused him to hit LEO radar) Then spending it on shit a 20 year old would buy seriously gold chains and 250k worth of clothes and shoes really? Guys like this crack me up because they don't see the long term only the short and hes 44 not 24 guy should have spent that money he spent on Toys,cars and stupid shit like clothes he could have invested in whatever hes into well besides the stupid shit mentioned above that will only depreciate in value.

Yeah he seemed to break all the basic rules about keeping a low profile. But to be fair the only reason he got popped is a snitch. He was obviously outstanding at laundering money. Can't imagine it's an easy thing to do in 2014 when you're just a regular guy from the street and not some Mitt Romney connected type.
become a multi-millionaire. But it cost him his freedom.
"Guys like this don't come around every day so when you get someone like this who has been doing it for so long and doing it well, it's like a chess game," Winkis said.
Winkis is no pawn. In fact, she’s the agent who helped bring down Mr. Big, a dealer with prior convictions, including a felony bust in Texas for possession of between 5 and 50 pounds of marijuana.
“He kind of came on the periphery of a lot of cases but he was in nobody's front sights so to speak," Winkis said.
Smith was able to fly below the radar until a random traffic stop in Arkansas in 2011. State troopers pulled over a car carrier and found something unbelievable. Hidden inside one of the cars was $2.3 million in cash. The feds say it was money with ties to Smith and Baltimore.

Stunning stupidity.
Disregard, rule #1 of the dope game, by flaunting his ASSets.
Had it made in the shade.
Quit while you're ahead
Greed led to his demise, with the need to showcase his ” baller” status.

The snitching is the final death blow....being on the Radar to begin with is what really did him in knowing the DEA they probably flipped somebody in his crew plus like I said hes really sloppy... If you call that money laundering thats fine but ANYBODY can spend money how clean was that spin cycle if he had to try and get rid off all of it last second and failed by the way.

Thanks I missed that. 2.3 million in one trip is lolz but again, to be fair..you gotta get it from one side of the US to the other somehow yes? Obviously you break it down in smaller denominations than 2.3 f-ing million. But even if you do 100k at a time
A) it will be prohibitively annoying given the amount of money he was dealing w/, and likely time frame
B) any amount over 10k will still put you on the radar.
Not in the way 2.3 million will but still.
Addendum, I have no idea what I'm talking about just speculating for fun.
He shouldn't be selling drugs in the first place. Glad he's in prison.
I wasn't sure what to answer to that myself.
I do consider marijuana to be in a different category then coke and heroin.
I do think it might be time to have a different approach on tackling drugs. (harm reduction)
you get rid of a dealer there are guys waiting in line to take his place

Any man that will profit millions selling coke and heroin should be in prison for the 10 years he will spend of the 25 yr sentence and then be out on parole. Plain and simple. As grower and or patients of mmj we have laid the foundation battle for our cause saying alcohol is worse or even in the same category as cannabis. Does anyone think we would have the freedoms and progress that we already do if we had come to the table with a lax attitude on heroin or coke. I really don't. Furthermore, we argue constantly how safe cannabis is and that it has never killed anyone. This man "mr. Big" has a LOT of blood on his hands that will never wash clean in a 10 yr fancy federal prison sentence. And I am not attacking you^^^ or anyone else personally. Merely clarifying my previous statement.
Although interesting. I really don't even see how this thread is relevant to Icmag at all.
Thanks for making me spray milk out of my nose...
It's posted in The Tokers Den...most of the threads here have nothing to do with ICM.
I sold a lot of drugs when younger. the thing was i seen what it did to customers.. it didn't sit well with me so I quit.. bad karma... weed is in its own category IMHO no real addiction,withdrawals and peeps generally don't rob and steal and sell their bodies to get some weed... I got nothing against a playa tho. to each their own.... really, a beetle man ??????? he must of been real high when he bought that.. what was he thinking lol
Unless things have changed Fed time is 85% of your time thats with good conduct time.
