And I go downstairs and I look at the window and I see like mad police officers. What did they say you were arrested for? What are the actual charges? It was like a 10 count indictment, identity theft, stolen property. It added up to like facing 25 years on paper. What are the news saying about you? What were those articles and the headlines like? They set my bonds super high. They said at 100,000. And they're like, yeah, you know, he stole over $1.3 million. So after the courthouse, they brought me into a holding cell. And then they moved me downstairs where I was awaiting transfer to Rikers. So do you feel like you were wrongfully accused and convicted them? In this episode, you're going to hear Dylan Sire tell his side of a story that made national headlines, the accusations of fraud and identity

theft that destroyed his business and landed him on Rikers Island. For the first time, Dylan

explains what he says really happened, how he was set up, and what it was like being sentenced

to a year of weekends at one of the most notorious jails in America. Dylan, welcome to Lockton. Thanks so much for coming out. The snow delayed us yesterday, but we're back. Yeah, thank you. It's, uh, this has been terrible the last, uh, few days. We got like two feet of snow. Two feet, yeah. There's a lot of snow. I haven't seen that much snow in years. Yeah, no, they said five years is the last time we've had a storm like that.

Especially... Tufi, yeah. There's a lot of snow. I haven't seen that much snow in years. Yeah, no, they said five years is the last time we've had a storm like that. Especially in New York, right? Yeah, five years. And then we have sub-zero temperatures right now. So it's brutal. And I think it's eight degrees here right now. Yeah. No, it's terrible. It can't be out there for more than five minutes without, you know, your face feeling is getting ripped on.

When you're in the city, do you actually see all that snow? right now. Yeah. No, it's terrible. It can't be out there for more than five minutes without, you know, your face.

When you're in the city, do you actually see all that snow? Like, where do they put it all? Yeah, right now, because if it had melted, if it had gotten above freezing, like, they would, it would melt. You know what I mean? But at this point, it's, it's just turning into straight ice and there's, there's nowhere to put it. like and I know i think it's illegal actually for them to uh dump it in the river because it's um it makes a salt water and fresh water

sometimes you know and whatnot and so it just sits there until it melts wow which hopefully is

sometime soon but it doesn't look like it what a mess Well, tell everyone about your podcast that you got going.

Yeah, I started my own podcast, the Sire Consultant.

Same things we'll discuss today, just discussing my story.

I never really got my story out there and whatnot, the background of my case and everything

like that.

And then, you know, my background before my case and then where

I'm at now and whatnot. So that's the arc of it. So like a limited series type podcast? No, I mean,

I plan on doing it. I feel like I have a bunch of different things I can talk about going forward,

but I wanted to put my story out there because my case is interesting because you can look up my

information online and it will tell you about my criminal arrests it was highly publicized at the

time but after that there's no follow-ups and i took a long time to think about it and i decided

it was time to like put my own story out there and give my own take on it for people that didn't

know what had happened after my initial arrest because if you go online and you look at my name

it just has all the same syndicated posts of my arrest but there's no follow-up to it including my
