I got a lead for you. It's like, come on. He guys don't know shit. They got a fucking call in years ago. You know, a guy didn't internet whistle blower thing. He said on the

room. He gives his name, his phone number, all this shit. I was like, no shit. Did they call him? He goes, they never fucking followed up. I was like, you shit in me. So we're sitting there in the office. I'll tell you, this is, this is why you just sit there and laugh. There's me, Eric Stout, a bunch of other people moving around in our intel analyst, Carol Dylan, who one of the best intel analysts in the world, right? We're sitting there talking about all this shit. And she goes, well, what are you guys going to do? What are you going to do? And I said,

I'm going to do what I would do in Baltimore. I'm going to call the fucking guy. Yeah. Now, the funny thing is, is, you know, I got to be honest with you. I didn't know how to fucking dial internationally.

Welcome to Game of Crimes.

There's, there's one sitting right now in London from a case that Eric Stoutchen, I did, who's been sitting there since my retirement in 2018, 2018.

And they won't let him out. But that's a whole nother story. We, we can talk about some other time. But that's a guy named Mohama to see for fees.

And that has direct ties into Dauwoo to Brahim and different things like that. So, but I personally think that there's a lot of people who don't want to back.

But that's just my conspiratorial nature on things. So, hey, some more. I'll put this in a little perspective for you. Our listeners as well.

If I was a young agent, 9.59 and 9.60 would be the place to be. Because you're working some of the biggest unusual cases in the world.

You're going to do some phenomenal travel. You're going to take some unbelievable risks. That's why it's a young man's game. It was, it would be the place to be.

Yeah. The goal was to go after untouchables. That's what you were there for to find, to find those untouchables. And I'll, I'll never forget one of the things the Southern District of New York used to ask you is.

Number one, what's the nexus to the United States? And if there was no nexus to the United States, the second question was, would the world be a better place without them in it, meaning that you did you arrested them?

And that was the, those were the two criteria. And, you know, that, that's kind of what we used. And, and that was, that was started with, you know, when Lumilion and Boy Johnson kind of pushed this whole endeavor.

And when he was in charge of the Narcotaire, one boy was in charge of the Narcotaire unit up there in Southern District. And the, the landing edge continued down, you know, until it's even today.

And just to explain that just a little bit more with the Southern District of New York, it's probably the most aggressive federal judicial district I've ever seen anywhere in the United States.

Yeah, they, yeah, they view the world as their, well, you know, after, after the first, you know, World Trade Center attacks in 93, you know, and stuff like that, that New York has always been the number one target for terrorism in the United States.

Yeah.

And not to take anything away from the Eastern District of New York, because they're pretty good too, but man, that Southern District, that's where you wanted to go.

They, it's like they never say no.

They really don't. And, and, you know, at the time when I was there, that was when Preet Bajara was the US attorney and, and Preet was, you know, unbelievably aggressive against the banks.

And you really do. I mean, the prosecutors are different. I mean, I hate to say that I worked with a lot of really good prosecutors in a variety of different districts.

But the one thing about there is you get these young, extremely bright lawyers who are going to burn the midnight oil, um, to make the case happen because their next stop is baseball money in a major law firm in Midtown Manhattan.
