This is what was in demand. I was with guys that have 60, 70,000 dollars on their books just from hustling in jail, bro. From selling cell phones, from selling things. The phones were $1,200 a pop for like a flip phone, you know? And I was with guys who just made so much money. And the way they would get it in, in Fort Dick, there's two fences. So the perimeter truck comes around every three minutes or something like that.
