00:04:09.540 We're going to keep it open for y'all until tomorrow, Cyber Monday.

00:04:12.700 Just type in BLACKFRESH and you'll get half off because fresh is black as hell. 1.00

00:04:16.560 And also, oh shit, it's invalid.

00:04:19.380 All right.

00:04:19.500 We got another man.

00:04:20.080 Actually, let me go ahead and tell my guy that we need another one because he probably only had it there for 24 hours.

00:04:25.460 Let me hit my guy right now.

00:04:26.720 I'll get up a new code for y'all.

00:04:28.340 So, don't get it right now.

00:04:29.920 Let me, uh...

00:04:31.640 Don't get it right now.

00:04:34.260 I want you to save some money, god damn it.

00:04:36.000 Hold on.

00:04:36.600 We need a new code.

00:04:40.080 Oh, I can lower your volume.

00:04:42.320 New code.

00:04:43.160 We can make it CyberFresh.

00:04:45.880 CyberBlackFresh.

00:04:47.480 CyberFresh.

00:04:48.560 All right.

00:04:49.200 Bam.

00:04:49.740 Okay.

00:04:50.580 Can you turn that down?

00:04:51.560 Yeah, no.

00:04:52.420 I can still hear it.

00:04:53.420 Is it me?

00:04:54.660 Sorry, my bad.

00:04:56.220 Oh, no, it's me.

00:04:57.020 My bad.

00:04:57.360 Sorry.

00:04:57.720 Anyway.

00:04:58.860 Yeah, so guys.

00:05:00.880 So, I'll get that fixed out by today, but we'll have the code up for tomorrow.

00:05:03.920 So, um, and then tomorrow we got Mark Tilbury on for Money Monday.

00:05:06.920 That's going to be lit.

00:05:07.620 I'm going to go up there, do an interview with them, and then come back down.

00:05:15.020 I've been posting a bunch.

00:05:15.800 I've been going crazy on there.

00:05:16.920 Uh, it's growing pretty quickly.

00:05:18.620 Uh, we're gaining almost 1,000 or so a day, which is pretty cool.

00:05:23.200 Um, you know, 500 to 1,000 a day, so that's good. 1.00

00:05:26.140 I cover a bunch of topics on there about pop culture.

00:05:29.340 Um, I cover pop culture, politics, geopolitics.

00:05:32.940 Um, you know, uh, what's it called?

00:05:36.860 Certain current events.

00:05:38.640 Yeah, that stuff as well.

00:05:40.380 Uh, you guys know what that sound effect means.

00:05:42.420 Um, so I cover all that.

00:05:44.020 So, don't worry, guys.

00:05:44.980 If you guys want to go ahead and see another side of me, and a lot of you guys want that

00:05:48.040 stuff, get my opinion on certain current events, et cetera, I cover it all there.

00:05:51.820 So, make sure to check me out on UnpluggedFidex.

00:05:53.680 I want to grow that thing to 100K if we can.

00:05:55.900 Um, and I also did a, speaking of Twitter, I did a pretty cool interview with Elijah

00:05:59.780 Schaefer, guys.

00:06:00.340 Go check it out, um, on his YouTube and on his Rumble.

00:06:03.980 Um, pretty good stuff.

00:06:05.280 We talked about a bunch of different stuff.

00:06:07.020 And, uh, what else here?

00:06:08.420 And then, okay.

00:06:09.060 So, you guys are spamming the chat about Angie.

00:06:11.020 Let me make this very, very clear.

00:06:12.420 I'm going to address this one time and one time only, okay?

00:06:15.560 She went to the beach.

00:06:16.960 She went with her childhood friends from Venezuela.

00:06:18.860 I know everything that she does, okay?

00:06:20.660 I have access to all her shit.

00:06:21.960 She removed 5,000 plus people on her Instagram, okay?

00:06:25.040 And her profile is private.

00:06:26.360 People went ahead and stalked her friend's profile and her profile, screenshot it, and

00:06:30.480 made it sound like, oh, what the hell is going on here?

00:06:32.520 She went to the beach.

00:06:33.540 Yo, if she can't go to the beach with her friends with me knowing about everything that 1.00

00:06:37.800 she does, then I don't know what to tell y'all.

00:06:39.380 Like, I know everything that Angie is doing, guys.

00:06:42.620 All right?

00:06:43.180 She's my chick.

00:06:44.400 I know what the fuck's going on.

00:06:45.920 And for her to be scrutinized like this, to go to the beach with her friends, right,

00:06:50.860 with me knowing what the hell's going on, I mean, I'm the authority here, okay?

00:06:54.780 Trust me.

00:06:55.480 I know what the fuck I'm doing, okay?

00:06:57.080 She's not your girlfriend. 1.00

00:06:57.880 She's mine.

00:06:58.700 So everything she does is under my authority.

00:07:00.760 I know what's going on.

00:07:01.780 I have all her passwords, et cetera.

00:07:03.700 And it is what it is.

00:07:05.500 So if you guys don't like it, whatever, man.

00:07:07.780 But that's really weird that y'all are over here looking at a profile, which I've called

00:07:11.000 some of y'all, literally, like, asking her, hey, please accept my request.

00:07:14.420 Hey, I'm going to buy you nails, blah, blah.

00:07:15.960 Some of y'all are really, really weird, bro.

00:07:17.720 And she's had to remove 5,000-plus people following her, and she tries to live a private life.

00:07:22.000 And to be honest, I'm the one that put her in front of the camera.

00:07:23.940 I said, hey, help me out with FedReacts, et cetera.

00:07:25.280 She didn't really want to do it because she's a pretty private person.

00:07:27.720 But, yeah, man, at the end of the day, guys, respect their privacy.

00:07:31.820 Like, you know what I mean?

00:07:32.380 She's not a public figure like me.

00:07:33.920 Y'all want to criticize me, that's cool.

00:07:35.500 But trust me, I know everything that's going on.

00:07:38.060 I definitely do.

00:07:39.420 She checks with me before anything that she does.

00:07:41.780 And if she wants to go to the beach with her friends, I don't, hey, it is what it is.

00:07:44.480 They're childhood friends.

00:07:45.140 It is what it is.

00:07:47.060 Yeah.

00:07:47.820 You know, I know what's going on.

00:07:49.360 So that's weird, man.

00:07:51.660 That's weird that y'all are, like, stalking her that hard.

00:07:54.420 But, yeah.

00:07:55.440 So, anyway, with that said, where are we at here?

00:08:01.240 Guys, you guys want to say what's up to the people?

00:08:04.640 Yo, what's going on?

00:08:05.500 This is Mo.

00:08:06.880 Happy to be here with you guys.

00:08:08.400 And, yeah, so Summer Bin Laden Raid is out on Rumble, especially.

00:08:13.180 So, yeah, Rumble only for certain reasons.

00:08:15.780 But other than that, you guys can follow me at BigMo underscore B-I-T-W.

00:08:19.560 That is B-I-G-M-O underscore B-I-T-W. 1.00

00:08:22.780 Don't forget the memo to believe in BigMo because that is an M-O.

00:08:28.000 What's going on, guys?

00:08:29.900 J-Bills, you guys can follow me on Instagram, at J-Bills.

00:08:32.520 Appreciate all the love from the Red Pill stream.

00:08:34.380 Go ahead and comment and keep getting the views up.

00:08:36.960 And this will be a good show tonight.

00:08:39.300 All right.

00:08:40.200 Cool.

00:08:40.800 So, Ed, do you want to tell them anything about what we got coming up or cases that they got?

00:08:45.360 Well, I have an updated list.

00:08:47.240 I didn't update it, like, this week because we're going to have Silk Road.

00:08:51.580 So, this week that is coming now, and December 1st and all that stuff, actually, on November 3rd, on Thursday, November 3rd, I'm going to make another live to update this list that I have right now.

00:09:02.620 But the one that I have right now, that I updated last week, I have Jonathan J. Pollard, which is an intelligence analyst.

00:09:09.440 Jeff Davis 8, Michelle Blair, Mark Duggan, Mahek Bukhari.

00:09:16.220 Also, guys, you keep sending cases from outside, foreign cases.

00:09:22.440 And as I told you before, we're going to, like, prioritize the ones here in America.

00:09:29.260 And then we're going to do the ones that you guys request the most.

00:09:32.120 The one that is upvoted right now, it's the Canadian serial killers, the Ben and Barbie killers, Paul Bernardo and his wife.

00:09:41.920 And that's the ones that we'll probably cover next for, like, foreign cases.

00:09:45.580 That's the one from Canada.

00:09:47.900 The Osama Bin Ladder dropped this Thursday, if I'm not mistaken, right, Mo? 0.96

00:09:52.200 Yes.

00:09:52.640 On Rumble?

00:09:53.420 Yes.

00:09:53.800 Just came out this Thursday.

00:09:55.000 So, yeah.

00:09:55.720 You guys have been requesting that one for a while now.

00:09:59.360 They won the University of Texas clock tower.

00:10:02.220 It was ages ago that the clock tower, they put a bomb in it.

00:10:06.720 Oh.

00:10:07.720 Damn, they asked for that a long time ago.

00:10:09.060 Yeah.

00:10:09.480 Okay.

00:10:10.140 Yeah.

00:10:10.780 Chicago outfit.

00:10:12.800 The Rwanda genocide.

00:10:14.660 I think that's from Africa, if I'm not mistaken.

00:10:17.060 I'm not sure.

00:10:19.220 Yeah, the Iceman.

00:10:20.500 I don't know.

00:10:21.020 You said, like.

00:10:22.200 Yeah, because we, remember, we spoke with a couple mafia people.

00:10:25.480 Actually, Michael Francis himself said that it's sensationalized.

00:10:28.620 He didn't kill that many people.

00:10:29.720 Yeah.

00:10:29.880 So, once, and you guys know that he was a capo for, goddammit, which crime family it was.

00:10:35.980 Michael Francis.

00:10:36.800 He was a capo.

00:10:37.600 Colombo crime family.

00:10:38.320 Thank you.

00:10:38.580 So, when we brought him on, he was saying how the Iceman, and I always suspected that

00:10:41.840 his numbers were off a bit, that he didn't kill that many people.

00:10:44.400 Yeah.

00:10:44.700 And a lot of it was sensationalized for clout, but, yeah.

00:10:48.780 Anything else?

00:10:49.920 Ivan Milad is the most prolific serial killer in Australia.

00:10:53.560 People have been asking for that as well.

00:10:55.620 Yeah.

00:10:55.780 And, yeah, I think that's about it right now.

00:10:57.740 Oh, the Rob Elementary School shooting.

00:11:00.060 Okay.

00:11:00.540 That, too.

00:11:01.740 And then one other thing, too.

00:11:03.180 I said, like, just to put a bow on this thing with the whole Angie thing, people saying

00:11:07.240 what they're going to say.

00:11:09.400 Somebody mentioned that she went to a concert or whatever with a guy.

00:11:12.060 Guys, that's her brother.

00:11:13.200 Oh, yeah.

00:11:13.280 I've met him on multiple occasions.

00:11:14.960 They went to a comedy event.

00:11:17.600 I've had dinner with him.

00:11:18.920 I've spoken with him.

00:11:19.660 I've met him.

00:11:19.800 I know him personally.

00:11:20.800 That was her brother that she went with, guys.

00:11:22.700 So, you know, if you guys want to sit there and say, oh, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:28.440 Okay.

00:11:28.860 You can say what you want to say.

00:11:29.960 But I know him.

00:11:31.160 I've met him on multiple occasions.

00:11:33.200 He came down from Tampa to visit her.

00:11:35.040 They have a very close relationship.

00:11:36.760 I trust him, obviously.

00:11:37.580 That's her fucking brother.

00:11:38.920 So, you know, they go out together every now and then because they have a very tight bond.

00:11:42.820 They don't see each other that much.

00:11:44.420 So, you know, obviously I don't have to explain myself or whatever, but it just goes to show how sick and weird some people are where they're stalking Angie's private life and making assumptions that just quite frankly aren't true.

00:11:56.300 Hell, she was thinking about deleting her Instagram and I told her, no, you're not going to let these weirdos win.

00:12:00.880 Keep your Instagram.

00:12:02.120 I know what's going on.

00:12:03.300 You don't have to worry about that shit.

00:12:04.860 And it is what it is.

00:12:05.900 But, yeah, people spreading these false rumors is simply not true, man.

00:12:09.040 It's simply not true.

00:12:09.920 Guys, I do want to address something real quick.

00:12:11.340 I'm not going to get emotional.

00:12:12.300 Myron didn't want me to talk because he would think I would get emotional because I was really pissed before this.

00:12:17.920 I do want to address whatever you hear, guys, from people that whatever name pops up.

00:12:25.720 I did used to live with some people before in Doral ages ago, right before Myron.

00:12:30.800 And I didn't have anything to do with these people.

00:12:33.680 They were just roommates and that's it.

00:12:35.620 So, the fact that you're popping out names that I haven't heard in ages, like, it's just crazy to me.

00:12:42.500 I don't know who you're talking with, whoever is clipping this or, like, putting this information out.

00:12:47.500 But I suggest you to just come to me.

00:12:50.880 Check your facts with me, you know, like, because I'm the first-hand, like, contact that you can, like, verify this information with.

00:12:58.500 So, instead of creating rumors and causing me problems because it's getting so far that you guys are going to my family and, like, DMing my family.

00:13:06.120 Yeah, messaging our parents and shit.

00:13:07.560 It's weird.

00:13:07.900 It's really bad.

00:13:09.520 And a lot of people that know me because they don't speak the language, they don't know that I do this and they don't know what I do.

00:13:17.660 So, when you guys go with these rumors and stuff and you go to them and ask stuff, they are going to ask me and I'm here.

00:13:24.040 They're all confused then.

00:13:25.300 So, before creating rumors, just come to me, ask me personally if you have a question.

00:13:29.520 Like, I can easily, like, address it.

00:13:31.680 Yeah, remember, Angie, the truth doesn't matter when a story that isn't true is more entertaining.

00:13:37.400 Don't forget that.

00:13:38.400 But, yeah, guys, that's pretty much it.

00:13:40.400 We addressed it.

00:13:41.120 It is what it is.

00:13:41.780 You guys can go ahead and run with whatever rumors you want.

00:13:44.460 But we addressed the concert situation, the beach, whatever it is.

00:13:49.080 You know, people are going to say what they want to say.

00:13:51.140 I think it's actually kind of ridiculous that we even have to talk about this.

00:13:54.220 But, hey, there's your answers, guys, okay?

00:13:56.440 Don't believe everything you see on the Internet.

00:13:57.860 A lot of it is being sensationalized to draw your attention and cause needless drama.

00:14:01.960 But we're going to go back to making out the content that you guys are here for in the first place

00:14:04.800 and not necessarily address strange, awkward drama that isn't true.

00:14:09.320 Cool.

00:14:09.820 Let's go ahead.

00:14:10.780 We can hit some of these chats real quick.

00:14:12.580 And then we'll go ahead into the documentary.

00:14:14.280 We've got two documentaries that Angie found for y'all that cover this.

00:14:17.500 But I'll read these real quick.

00:14:20.600 Let's see here.

00:14:24.260 Let's see.

00:14:24.920 Okay.

00:14:26.280 Satoshi, BTC, will humiliate re-interns and ROI in a decade.

00:14:30.980 Okay.

00:14:31.420 I mean, you know, I think it's good to be diversified.

00:14:34.000 Hey, Martin, do you plan on showing us all the weightlifting exercises we all need to do in the gym

00:14:37.520 when you do the self-care channel?

00:14:39.260 Need help on creating my workouts.

00:14:41.120 Also, what color is your Honda Civic?

00:14:42.940 Andrew Tate voice.

00:14:43.620 It's silver.

00:14:45.100 It's silver.

00:14:46.300 And that's from Taco713.

00:14:49.360 The reasonable man adapts himself to the world.

00:14:51.200 The unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself.

00:14:55.000 Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

00:14:57.440 Okay.

00:14:59.840 Marcovelli goes, drop 20 pounds and looking to drop 20 more from 180 to 160.

00:15:02.980 What do you recommend for passing the plateau?

00:15:05.520 This is why it's important, guys, to track your calories.

00:15:07.180 When you track your calories, you know where you're going.

00:15:09.200 And if you're not trying your calories, you're basically operating blind.

00:15:11.500 I always use the analogy that you wouldn't drive somewhere you've never driven before without a GPS.

00:15:15.760 Well, you shouldn't go ahead and go on your weight loss journey without tracking your calories.

00:15:18.220 Because if you're not tracking your calories, you don't know what you're taking.

00:15:20.280 If you don't know what you're taking, you're not going to know how to adjust when you inevitably do hit that fat loss plateau.

00:15:24.720 So you always want to be periodically decreasing your calories by about 100 whenever you hit a plateau.

00:15:29.440 And then, bam, the fat loss continues on.

00:15:31.240 Okay?

00:15:32.020 And when you're tracking everything, you can go ahead and figure out what the best tool is.

00:15:35.020 Whether it's taking another 100 calories away, maybe adding in one day of cardio per week.

00:15:39.500 You can play with different variables when you're actually tracking things.

00:15:42.380 Okay?

00:15:43.700 Let's see here.

00:15:44.420 Hey, Martin.

00:15:44.920 Do non-agent FBI technology field operations wear a tire or windbreaker jacket when out in the field?

00:15:49.940 Or is it only reserved for agents?

00:15:51.100 Not a lot of information about this online.

00:15:54.500 So here's the thing.

00:15:56.200 You only typically wear a raid jacket if it's an enforcement action.

00:15:59.320 You know, have we given raid jackets before to tech people whenever we have them on site to do something?

00:16:04.620 Yeah.

00:16:05.940 Just so they're identified, et cetera.

00:16:07.540 You don't have to necessarily be a gun toter to wear a raid jacket during a search warrant.

00:16:10.380 But you're definitely not going to be anywhere near the property when they raid it.

00:16:14.940 You're going to come in after it's secure, you know, and then you can go ahead and assist with the search.

00:16:19.400 Like, for example, let's say we raid a house, right?

00:16:21.720 And the place is secure.

00:16:22.760 We got everybody detained that we need to detain.

00:16:24.920 House is ready to be searched.

00:16:25.900 Then the support staff and personnel that might have an expertise, et cetera, can come in.

00:16:30.800 Like, I remember before I've been on a raid where we went after someone who was selling, like, fake pharmaceuticals, right?

00:16:35.920 And we had someone, a rep, from that company, right, there to identify the counterfeits versus the reels, et cetera.

00:16:44.040 And something like that, if we don't want them to be identified or whatever it may be, once the house is secure, we might give them a raid jacket.

00:16:49.400 They could come in and help us identify, et cetera, just so that, you know, the public might not necessarily know who they are or whatever it is.

00:16:54.400 So sometimes when you bring a subject matter expert or you bring someone in that isn't a gun toad or maybe you bring one of your analysts, et cetera, and they're in there, they'll wear a raid jacket after everything is safe.

00:17:05.680 And a lot of agencies employ that tactic with their support staff.

00:17:09.540 Very nuanced question, but a good question nonetheless.

00:17:11.620 Let's see here.

00:17:14.200 Do the Derek Todd Lee case.

00:17:15.860 That's from Kim Chilin.

00:17:16.580 All right.

00:17:17.560 It's Liddy Titty goes, after watching a lot of FNF, whenever I am in public and I see my bitch, I find myself insulting them in my head instead of thirsting. 1.00

00:17:26.380 I think it's the superiority complex, okay?

00:17:28.760 The Last Hallbender, part one of two.

00:17:30.680 Mo, what was your reaction to CM Punk's surprise return?

00:17:33.000 Yeah, that show was crazy.

00:17:33.960 What do you think will happen?

00:17:34.960 Props to Triple H for keeping it a secret until the last minute of the show.

00:17:38.080 None of the WWE wrestler staff, production new, best in the world.

00:17:41.080 Go ahead, Mo, what do you think?

00:17:42.120 Best in the world, baby.

00:17:43.000 Yeah, you guys already know that's where the B-I-T-W, my name, came from.

00:17:47.780 So big up to CM Punk.

00:17:49.220 I wasn't that surprised.

00:17:51.600 Triple H is very in touch with, he's very in touch and very in tune with what's going on in the wrestling community, what people want, the talent that's going over.

00:17:59.900 So, like, and everyone's been happy when Triple H has been taking the helm.

00:18:04.960 And then, of course, I don't know if I talked with Myron about it, but, of course, with Shawn Michaels running the developmental system.

00:18:13.640 So it was like WWE still is great hands.

00:18:16.820 I'm still a big believer in AEW. 0.94

00:18:19.080 I still think competition is good.

00:18:21.700 I still believe that AEW has a great product.

00:18:24.660 But this was huge for WWE.

00:18:28.340 This was huge for CM Punk.

00:18:30.360 This was well warranted.

00:18:32.440 I was against CM Punk leaving in the first place.

00:18:35.320 I understood why.

00:18:36.560 I know he just wants to close out WrestleMania.

00:18:39.680 And he should.

00:18:41.120 He's good enough, big enough to do it.

00:18:44.240 But I'm actually, yeah, I'm very happy.

00:18:46.700 So, yeah.

00:18:47.940 Cool.

00:18:48.240 So, and what do we got here?

00:18:50.920 The last hope under, oh, do you think WWE employees' reactions were real or kayfabe?

00:18:58.140 Michael Cole threw his pen in frustration.

00:18:59.780 Big booty Ray Ripley, W Poggs, gave the middle finger and mocked Punk.

00:19:03.700 Seth Rollins started yelling, gave the finger, and had to be held back.

00:19:06.840 I think it's probably a work.

00:19:09.460 You know, kayfabe, basically, are they staying in character?

00:19:12.660 I do think it's a work.

00:19:14.600 It's probably in character.

00:19:16.820 I do hear that there was, like, backstage stuff.

00:19:19.200 But there's times you're not too sure if there's backstage stuff.

00:19:23.200 If there is.

00:19:24.220 It's probably under contract where they have to stay in character anytime they're on the premises, right?

00:19:27.980 Yes.

00:19:28.480 Like, you got to, like, it doesn't matter.

00:19:30.060 Like, you know, you're here.

00:19:31.100 Because I remember Maven has a YouTube channel.

00:19:33.460 And he basically said that they got to be there at, like, 1 p.m. for Raw?

00:19:36.440 Yeah.

00:19:36.880 So, I'm crazy like that?

00:19:37.900 Like, nine hours before him?

00:19:39.100 Very, very early.

00:19:39.520 Very, very early.

00:19:40.400 So, I wouldn't be surprised if they're not instructed to stay in character at all times when they're on the premises.

00:19:47.100 I remember when I went to WrestleMania 28, that was down here in Miami.

00:19:50.100 I went there, like, noon, 1 p.m., and I was already seeing wrestlers coming in.

00:19:58.020 And I was just there.

00:19:59.680 I was meant to just do, like, tailgating.

00:20:02.660 Yeah.

00:20:03.120 There's a wrestler that, they made that rule because one wrestler, like, would always show up late.

00:20:07.860 Who was it again?

00:20:08.700 Man, I'm not.

00:20:10.760 Like, that eight-hour rule.

00:20:12.060 That, I'm not too sure.

00:20:14.380 That's not an uncommon thing.

00:20:16.940 Well, not, like, uncommon.

00:20:18.300 Most wrestlers do come in on time.

00:20:20.100 They do come in early.

00:20:21.160 Yeah.

00:20:22.080 I forget who it was.

00:20:23.120 Was it Jake the Snake?

00:20:24.080 Somebody chronically would always show up late.

00:20:26.200 Or was it Andre the Giant?

00:20:27.960 Somebody, man.

00:20:28.580 I forget who it is.

00:20:29.160 Someone in the chat might know.

00:20:31.220 Someone said bring Maven on the pod. 0.99

00:20:32.620 Maybe, bro.

00:20:33.420 We could reach out to him.

00:20:34.860 I remember watching Tough Enough back in the day.

00:20:36.680 That was, yeah.

00:20:37.240 And seeing him win.

00:20:37.880 Yeah.

00:20:38.120 Like, I remember that.

00:20:39.020 I remember that one, too.

00:20:40.220 Yeah, that was way back in the day.

00:20:41.140 I mean, his YouTube channel's been growing a lot.

00:20:43.240 You know, shout out to him.

00:20:43.900 He's been giving a lot of the background on how the WWE works, et cetera.

00:20:47.300 Yeah, maybe we'll bring him on for y'all.

00:20:48.340 I was very happy.

00:20:49.720 And I know another thing, CM Punk, he's big on his protection for wrestlers.

00:20:54.760 I think WWE does the best job more than any other wrestling company when it comes to protecting the wrestlers.

00:21:01.720 A lot of times I say, you got to protect these wrestlers from themselves.

00:21:05.100 WWE does that better than anyone in the wrestling industry.

00:21:08.900 That is my take.

00:21:09.860 I don't care, which some people might disagree.

00:21:12.480 I don't care.

00:21:13.760 WWE does a great job protecting wrestlers from themselves.

00:21:16.500 Sometimes you have to do that.

00:21:18.400 So, yeah.

00:21:19.060 Fair enough.

00:21:19.480 What else do we got here?

00:21:22.300 King Darula.

00:21:23.020 This is a pretty good question.

00:21:25.000 Myron, I have a GS7 interview coming up as a tech for the FBI this week.

00:21:30.340 This is in San Francisco.

00:21:31.200 I'm having a hard time figuring out what questions are going to be asked.

00:21:33.740 Interview is remote.

00:21:34.620 Please guide me towards resources.

00:21:35.740 I need to be prepared.

00:21:36.740 Okay, so I've done a – actually, good, perfect person to ask.

00:21:40.000 I've done an FBI panel interview before.

00:21:42.020 And as you guys know, I was hired by the FBI back in, like, 2017, 2018.

00:21:46.520 Dude, just know that they're going to ask you questions about your character.

00:21:49.620 They're going to ask you questions about integrity, et cetera.

00:21:53.820 More than likely, they're going to want to hear a story of a time where you were in a very tough decision.

00:21:57.900 You had to make a very tough decision where it might have been easier for you to get something done.

00:22:01.500 But, you know, you took the high road XYZ. 0.57

00:22:03.720 Have a story like that somewhere.

00:22:06.300 Just be truthful, man.

00:22:08.000 You know, obviously be candid.

00:22:09.880 You know, they understand that you're human, et cetera.

00:22:11.660 You might have made mistakes or whatever.

00:22:13.820 But whatever you do, just be honest.

00:22:17.500 Don't lie.

00:22:19.200 Tell stories that – if they ask you to tell a story about yourself that shows integrity or candor, have one that comes to mind.

00:22:25.460 Right?

00:22:25.640 It could have been – I remember for me, it was – I was in college and everybody was smoking and doing drugs.

00:22:32.260 And all my friends were there and I wanted to stay at the party but I left because I knew that being in an environment like that is just not a good look, especially with me wanting to get into a certain career field.

00:22:43.740 So, obviously, I had to sacrifice, you know, building camaraderie with the friends and shit like that and some fun for the long term.

00:22:52.060 So, having a story like that in the back of your mind, et cetera, that you actually experienced that puts you in a compromise – not compromising, but puts you in a tough situation, that a lot of times speaks volumes.

00:23:00.260 So, have something like that in the back.

00:23:01.660 And just be honest, bro, and don't take it too seriously.

00:23:03.700 It's going to be a remote interview, so it will be a little bit easier.

00:23:06.360 But I remember, yeah, when I did mine, I had three agents interviewing me and typically what they'll do is they'll have a 13, right, so a senior agent.

00:23:16.020 Then they'll have a supervisor, which is a GS-14 or a supervisory special agent, and then they'll have an assistant special agent in charge or an ASAC interviewing you.

00:23:23.460 HSI does the same exact shit.

00:23:24.980 Most of these agencies, when they do their panel interview, that's how they do it.

00:23:27.200 They have a case – they have an agent that actually does cases, a supervisor, and then that second line supervisor, which is an ASAC, and they'll ask you questions.

00:23:33.940 So, don't be scared, bro.

00:23:35.160 So, your interview – they're probably not going to grill you as hard because you're not applying for an 1811 slash special agent position.

00:23:43.060 So, you're not going to be grilled as hard.

00:23:45.400 But, you know, don't take – don't stress out too bad, okay?

00:23:50.200 Good question.

00:23:51.100 Fantastic question.

00:23:51.740 And then also, dude, do me a favor.

00:23:53.100 Watch my pod.

00:23:54.880 I literally did an episode on how to prepare for a law enforcement career and how to deal with interviews, background checks, all that shit, okay?

00:24:03.900 What else do we got here?

00:24:05.160 Kay Rowdy goes, hey, Myron and Angie.

00:24:07.340 Hope you're both doing well.

00:24:08.240 I've been watching PDP podcasts and Tim Pool and keep hearing stories about people in power finding a way to cancel the next electoral votes by any means necessary.

00:24:14.300 What's your take on it, Myron?

00:24:15.060 My take is if Trump doesn't win, we're fucked.

00:24:18.800 That is my take.

00:24:20.380 Very simple and concise.

00:24:22.180 But if Trump does not win the 2024 election, we are going to be in a very, very bad position.

00:24:27.660 You know, as you guys know, we've got conflicts all over the world, you know, one in the Middle East, one in – well, multiple in the Middle East, one in Russia slash Ukraine, et cetera.

00:24:37.100 And, you know, it's – ironically enough, people say that Trump is terrible for foreign affairs when I think actually we probably had some of the best foreign relations when Trump was in office.

00:24:49.480 His bravado attitude and his – how do I say this?

00:24:55.080 His lack of fear with holding other nations accountable is actually what kept us safe, you know?

00:25:00.060 You got someone like Biden who has interests in other places like China, et cetera.

00:25:04.100 We did a whole video, by the way, talking about the Biden crime family and him being involved with Ukraine and China and getting money from foreign nationals in questionable ways.

00:25:12.500 You know, go ahead and check that episode out.

00:25:14.120 But, yeah, it's just not a good look, man.

00:25:15.980 So we'll see what happens.

00:25:18.000 We'll really see what happens.

00:25:19.240 But I really do think that we can't have – obviously we can't have someone like Biden come in again, and we need someone from the GOP.

00:25:27.500 I think Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis, and Trump are all good candidates.

00:25:32.760 But the reality is Vivek and Ron DeSantis don't have enough of a market share to actually win.

00:25:37.680 It's going to have to be Trump.

00:25:38.480 You know, Trump is so far ahead he doesn't even go to the political debates, guys.

00:25:41.240 Like, that should tell you something.

00:25:43.480 You know, so it is what it is.

00:25:47.620 You know, Ron DeSantis, I think, did a good job as governor in Florida.

00:25:50.220 I think he should stay governor.

00:25:51.680 You know, shout out to him for trying to be president.

00:25:53.560 But I just don't think he has the oomph to push there.

00:25:55.860 His marketing isn't good enough.

00:25:57.420 And then Vivek is just way too goddamn small.

00:25:59.320 Not enough people know about him.

00:26:00.400 His policies are great.

00:26:01.340 People might criticize him here or there.

00:26:02.540 But I think in general he's mostly good.

00:26:05.240 But, yeah, Trump is going to have to win, man, because he has the –

00:26:09.240 he's pretty much going to be the Republican candidate.

00:26:12.260 Anyway, anything.

00:26:13.880 What else do we got here?

00:26:15.260 Well, it's lit, fam.

00:26:16.860 Well, we lit.

00:26:17.680 Let's go, team.

00:26:18.460 Fucking annoying how people be starting all these rumors as of late.

00:26:20.700 I swear they be having nothing better to do with their miserable lives.

00:26:23.040 Yeah, it's a little weird, man.

00:26:24.280 But, you guys, this is kind of the price to pay for this.

00:26:28.180 You know, I'm going to take 100% accountability.

00:26:30.040 This isn't Angie's fault.

00:26:30.840 This is my fault because I'm the one that dragged her into the limelight.

00:26:33.300 She wanted to be behind the scenes more.

00:26:35.320 And I said, no, I'd be better if you were just here.

00:26:37.160 It's still your fault.

00:26:38.040 No, no, no, no, no.

00:26:38.960 I'm the one that told you to come on, right?

00:26:40.400 So it's on me.

00:26:41.260 It's not on you.

00:26:41.940 She's a very private person.

00:26:43.620 You know, and she's made a lot of sacrifices because of it.

00:26:47.060 And I appreciate that.

00:26:48.200 But it's on me 100% because I'm the one that dragged her in this light.

00:26:51.240 So this is what comes with the territory, unfortunately.

00:26:53.520 Um, them niggas should go watch Kardashians or Love Island since they love Jabba so much. 1.00

00:26:57.900 Dudes acting like some fucking females. 1.00

00:26:59.560 Yeah, it is what it is, bro.

00:27:01.140 You know, it's amazing to me that I have to explain that.

00:27:04.000 Yeah, that guy is her brother, guys.

00:27:05.460 And they're like, whoa.

00:27:06.480 But, yeah.

00:27:08.760 Yo, Elliot Rodgers, a.k.a. leader of the incels, would be a fire episode.

00:27:12.240 Okay.

00:27:14.080 Dudes are more worried about y'all's lives than spending that time improving their own keyboard warriors.

00:27:18.560 Yeah, it comes with the territory, man.

00:27:20.120 And, um, Jeremy goes, Myron, you should do a gun safety stream at the range with Fresh and Sneeko.

00:27:24.340 Also, W, Angie, fuck the haters.

00:27:25.820 Yeah, I'm going to do a gun range stream with Sneeko. 0.92

00:27:28.720 Uh, he, uh, we're supposed to do one today, but I just, I woke up late, man.

00:27:32.760 So, I'll, uh, but I will, I'll give y'all a gun range stream with Sneeko, uh, soon.

00:27:38.780 Um, the Liam and you.

00:27:40.180 I just wanted to give a shout out from California to the whole FNF team.

00:27:42.800 I'm 23 years old.

00:27:43.520 Managed to get my credit score up thanks to your videos.

00:27:45.680 Went from 430 to 700 plus.

00:27:47.640 Currently waiting on my platinum card.

00:27:49.180 Congratulations, Liam and you.

00:27:50.100 That's awesome.

00:27:50.960 Uh, whenever you guys show me your wins with making more money or getting better credit,

00:27:54.840 et cetera, it's a big W.

00:27:56.400 Um, shout out to the whole FNF team.

00:27:58.240 W, Myron, W, Angie, W, Medium, Mocula, and W, Blitz.

00:28:02.720 Blitz.

00:28:03.140 Because of you guys, I went from no credit until 30 years old to now a 730 credit score looking

00:28:06.760 at four plexes to house hack.

00:28:08.440 Love y'all.

00:28:08.840 Joe, that's awesome, bro.

00:28:09.720 That's what we're talking about.

00:28:10.440 Good shit.

00:28:11.360 Um, what else?

00:28:12.960 Anything else?

00:28:13.440 Medium, Mocula.

00:28:14.440 I like that.

00:28:15.720 No, that's pretty much all.

00:28:17.480 That's it.

00:28:17.880 That was it?

00:28:18.220 All right.

00:28:18.760 And just so you guys know, as we speak right now, actually, I got Andy in the house.

00:28:23.500 What, what, Mo?

00:28:23.960 And 10 and up.

00:28:24.840 Okay.

00:28:25.160 10 and up from here on out?

00:28:25.940 Yes.

00:28:26.220 Uh, as you guys are here right now, um, okay, someone asked a pretty good question.

00:28:31.480 What, any, uh, he asked, um, any tips for real estate as a Muslim?

00:28:36.420 Um, guys, I, I, that, that, that doesn't want to use, uh, interest loans, obviously, because

00:28:40.440 usury is, is banned.

00:28:41.820 The only way around it really, guys, you got to buy houses cash.

00:28:44.040 Um, so, um, you know, is that the best and smartest financial way to go about things?

00:28:49.560 No, but I completely understand that some people don't want to be involved with interest and

00:28:53.740 be involved in usury.

00:28:54.840 So, uh, I respect that.

00:28:56.500 Um, just, yeah, you're going to have to buy houses cash.

00:28:58.340 Uh, the positive to that though, is that you own the house free and clear and you're going

00:29:01.000 to get way more cashflow, but your cash on cash returns might not necessarily be as

00:29:04.700 good as using leverage, but it's up to you guys.

00:29:07.640 Um, what else do we got?

00:29:08.980 Uh, um, we're going 10 and up from this point forward and then, damn it.

00:29:12.660 I was going to say something and I forgot.

00:29:13.920 Oh, as we speak right now, guys, I am getting the Fed react studio made right now.

00:29:19.520 Andy's in the house.

00:29:20.280 Um, it's been a work in progress, guys, as you guys know, we prioritize building this

00:29:25.740 studio up to the highest level first.

00:29:28.040 Um, once we got that built, um, took a short break and he had a bunch of projects that he

00:29:32.000 was doing.

00:29:32.360 So right now he's actually here, um, building the, uh, the second studio.

00:29:36.640 I would normally be helping him, but we're live on air right now.

00:29:39.060 Um, I just can't stand behind and not help.

00:29:41.360 I got, I got to help too.

00:29:42.980 Um, I'm very particular about how things are, but either way.

00:29:46.540 Um, so you guys will see a new Fed react studio.

00:29:49.500 We're going to decorate it, make it nice for y'all.

00:29:51.480 And I've alluded to this on sneaker stream.

00:29:54.140 I might talk about it here a little bit.

00:29:56.800 Um, I'm thinking about potentially gaming.

00:30:00.400 Okay.

00:30:01.040 On, on there.

00:30:02.220 Now, now with that said, this is why y'all like Fed rest because you guys get to see another

00:30:07.440 side of me here.

00:30:08.740 I used to play overwatch guys at an extremely high level back in the day.

00:30:11.720 Okay.

00:30:11.900 I made top 500.

00:30:13.000 Okay.

00:30:13.560 Maybe for like a day or two.

00:30:14.520 I wasn't on there forever, but I made top 500, uh, for the nerds out there.

00:30:18.120 That's like a well over 4,000, uh, you know, score, um, playing McCree, Reaper, Zenyatta,

00:30:25.800 Anna, who else?

00:30:28.180 Zarya. 0.95

00:30:29.080 Hell no.

00:30:29.500 Mercy.

00:30:29.800 What the fuck?

00:30:31.920 Uh, and soldier.

00:30:35.940 Lucio?

00:30:36.620 Uh, and hell no, I never played Lucio.

00:30:38.280 The only healers I played were Zenyatta and Anna.

00:30:40.180 People that actually take skill.

00:30:41.760 Uh, yeah, I was a really good Anna too.

00:30:43.860 Um, let's see here.

00:30:45.760 But anyway, those are the characters that I played.

00:30:47.280 All right.

00:30:48.420 Uh, and I made it to GM level doing that.

00:30:50.160 Right.

00:30:50.920 Uh, so, but I shouldn't be admitting this, but I'll admit anyway.

00:30:56.520 Um, take some of the heat off Angie cause y'all roasting her. 1.00

00:31:01.440 Um, but all jokes aside, um, I am a very bad sport guys.

00:31:05.660 Extremely bad.

00:31:06.540 Okay.

00:31:06.800 I've been banned off Xbox live.

00:31:10.540 No way.

00:31:11.620 Yes.

00:31:11.980 I've literally been banned off Xbox live at, at least.

00:31:15.640 That's crazy.

00:31:16.400 Maybe, maybe 50 times in my lifetime.

00:31:18.340 Maybe 50 times with different gamer tags.

00:31:20.920 So, um, uh, yeah, I had to, I had to make a different gamer tags cause they would ban me

00:31:26.800 for bullying and harassment.

00:31:28.060 So I had one, one, one gamer tag.

00:31:30.400 It was a Xbox live can't ban me serious.

00:31:32.560 Yeah.

00:31:34.140 And then I had another one called T bag and Xbox live.

00:31:36.660 So, um, so yeah, I, I used to, yeah, man.

00:31:40.180 And you broke in some remotes.

00:31:41.640 Oh yeah.

00:31:42.020 I broke in some controllers too.

00:31:43.160 Some controllers.

00:31:43.720 I'm a very bad, a big reason why I quit video games.

00:31:47.240 Two main reasons why I quit video games.

00:31:48.820 Number one, it was hurting my productivity.

00:31:51.480 Right.

00:31:51.840 And then number two, I'm a very bad sport.

00:31:54.260 I was breaking fucking controllers.

00:31:56.120 I was getting a new controller like every other month and shit.

00:31:58.240 I was raging.

00:31:59.180 I was going crazy cause I hate losing.

00:32:00.860 Um, especially when I'm like killing it and I'm like out here fucking killing everybody

00:32:05.360 and then I'm carrying and we still lose.

00:32:07.060 I fucking lose my mind.

00:32:08.120 So, um, so I'm going to have to figure out cause if I go on Twitch, I'm going to get banned.

00:32:14.220 I already know.

00:32:15.080 Like if I, if I, if I stream on Twitch, it's a fucking rap, bro.

00:32:17.820 It's, it's, it's fucking done, man.

00:32:19.640 Like I used to do wild shit.

00:32:20.860 Like, uh, I remember I'd be playing like Halo 2 back in the day, like a girl would enter 1.00

00:32:24.840 the lobby.

00:32:25.460 Oh, hi.

00:32:26.180 I'd immediately boot her out. 0.98

00:32:27.560 You know what I mean?

00:32:28.020 Like I would never want to play with girls on my team, uh, or what else play at overwatch 0.99

00:32:31.860 you come in.

00:32:32.320 I'd be like, why aren't you making a sandwich for a man who's superior to you? 0.94

00:32:34.340 I'd make stupid jokes like that.

00:32:35.500 Right.

00:32:36.120 And, um, you know, I'd always get banned.

00:32:38.180 So y'all, if, if I do play, um, overwatch, well, if I do play, what I'll do is I'll probably

00:32:45.780 play overwatch.

00:32:46.560 Um, I'll take like a week or so to get, get back to it.

00:32:50.920 Right.

00:32:51.140 And like get, get, um, cause I haven't played since 2018.

00:32:53.320 I quit get video games.

00:32:54.280 I'll never forget 2018.

00:32:55.660 I stopped playing.

00:32:56.480 I played like a few matchmaking games with McCree and I said, fuck this shit.

00:32:59.340 I just quit.

00:33:00.300 Uh, cause I knew that, uh, it wasn't to my best interest, but now, you know, things are

00:33:04.000 a lot better.

00:33:04.920 Um, you know, obviously kind of hit where I've wanted to hit.

00:33:08.500 I think for you guys, it would, you know, be, I mean, I'm going to keep buying real estate

00:33:11.760 and keep making the podcast the best.

00:33:12.840 Don't get it fucking twisted, but, uh, it's something that I might do with y'all maybe once

00:33:15.820 a week where I stream video games.

00:33:18.200 Y'all can see me, uh, you know, kill people cause I can't play video games to be trash.

00:33:22.720 I'm keeping a thousand with y'all.

00:33:23.800 I can't do it.

00:33:24.640 I got to play at a high level.

00:33:25.740 I got to be wrecking kids.

00:33:26.600 I got to be talking shit.

00:33:27.640 I got to be saying you're fucking garbage.

00:33:29.260 You know, your mom's a whore. 1.00

00:33:30.820 I got to be talking.

00:33:31.320 I got to be in my element.

00:33:32.380 Okay.

00:33:32.700 I got to literally be sitting here bullying them while simultaneously destroying them.

00:33:37.920 Okay.

00:33:38.320 Let them know how garbage they are. 0.99

00:33:39.540 Cause I'm a big, big fucking trash talker.

00:33:41.460 Okay.

00:33:42.400 Um, so yeah, I don't know.

00:33:44.260 We'll see what happens, but, uh, probably not even on YouTube.

00:33:47.340 Huh?

00:33:47.680 Probably not even on YouTube.

00:33:49.240 Yeah.

00:33:49.560 Maybe not even on YouTube.

00:33:50.500 I don't know.

00:33:50.940 I'll have to figure out how I'm going to do this.

00:33:52.560 Cause what's you, what's you in your zone?

00:33:55.480 Oh, yeah.

00:33:57.000 Yeah.

00:33:57.360 Yeah.

00:33:57.880 That's true.

00:33:58.820 So, um, just a little, little thing.

00:34:11.660 Anything else I get?

00:34:12.520 Did I forget?

00:34:13.080 I'm afraid.

00:34:15.640 Yeah, man.

00:34:16.360 I've been banned off Xbox live a lot for bullying, man.

00:34:18.820 Oh, Jesus.

00:34:38.180 Ooh.

00:34:38.660 With, without a pocket mercy as a McCree, which is for all my nerds out there. 0.86

00:34:41.660 Y'all know how hard that is.

00:34:43.060 Okay.

00:34:43.760 No pocket mercy, bro.

00:34:45.460 Uh, I did it.

00:34:46.380 I had a guy that I played with that was a good Reinhardt and we fucking just rose the ranks.

00:34:51.180 You know what I mean?

00:34:52.100 Shout out Reinhardt.

00:34:52.760 Yeah.

00:34:53.220 Yeah.

00:34:53.400 Shout out Reinhardt.

00:34:54.280 Shout out Reinhardt.

00:34:54.860 Shout out to all the shitty Reinhardts that always be charging niggas though. 1.00

00:34:58.100 You know that, you know that one guy that never holds a shield up and just always charges

00:35:01.600 that niggas? 1.00

00:35:02.400 Bro.

00:35:09.780 Yo, those are the worst Reinhardts, man. 1.00

00:35:11.660 Nigga never puts a shield up. 1.00

00:35:16.200 he dies.

00:35:17.080 And then your team gets obliterated cause they don't got a goddamn shield.

00:35:20.420 So, um, all right.

00:35:21.500 I'm getting really nerdy right now.

00:35:22.760 Let me stop.

00:35:23.420 I would resurrect the whole team with ease, bro.

00:35:25.680 I'm like, oh yeah.

00:35:26.320 Oh yeah.

00:35:26.620 I thought we died.

00:35:28.040 Heroes never die.

00:35:30.900 I'm like, yeah, yeah.

00:35:31.840 I thought Mercy was, I thought it was, yeah.

00:35:35.340 But now you resurrected.

00:35:36.620 How you love that?

00:35:37.180 I was every Tracer's nightmare, bro.

00:35:38.820 Oh God.

00:35:39.320 Yeah.

00:35:39.460 That Tracer tried to come in behind seats.

00:35:41.160 Flashbang.

00:35:41.600 Boom.

00:35:41.840 Headshot.

00:35:42.360 Pro shit, bro.

00:35:43.580 Pro shit.

00:35:44.620 Yeah.

00:35:45.160 I never fan the hammer.

00:35:46.560 Scrubs do that. 1.00

00:35:47.700 Oh, let me fan the hammer.

00:35:48.720 No, that's trash.

00:35:50.820 Flashbang, headshot.

00:35:51.620 Boom.

00:35:51.920 Done.

00:35:52.520 Hell, I got so good, I got to a point where I was using High Noon just to reload.

00:35:55.780 It's High Noon.

00:35:56.480 Yeah.

00:35:57.400 Because for the dudes out there that are really good, y'all know what I'm talking about.

00:36:00.340 It's easy to build that alt up.

00:36:01.680 So you'll be bam, bam, bam, flashbang, headshot, boom.

00:36:03.880 And then someone else comes in, you're like, oh shit, High Noon, get a free six, and then

00:36:07.340 bam, just fuck his ass up. 0.99

00:36:08.780 And then all your abilities reload too when you do that.

00:36:12.280 So you can roll again, throw another flashbang, hit him in the head.

00:36:14.520 I don't know if they nerfed it or whatever.

00:36:16.380 But yeah, bro.

00:36:17.400 Fan the hammer is for sorry ass niggas, bro. 1.00

00:36:19.040 If I ever see someone doing this dumb shit with their McCrim, I'm like, yeah, garbage. 1.00

00:36:22.620 Well, there's an Overwatch 2 now.

00:36:24.800 Ah, yeah.

00:36:25.280 They did recently come out with a second one.

00:36:27.480 Yeah.

00:36:27.920 A lot of the same characters plus more.

00:36:29.740 You know when I stopped playing?

00:36:31.000 I stopped playing right when they released that chick.

00:36:35.740 The female cowboy. 0.97

00:36:38.100 Fuck, what's her name? 1.00

00:36:39.420 Someone in the chat is going to put it.

00:36:40.460 Oh.

00:36:44.040 God damn it.

00:36:45.860 It's been a minute since I played.

00:36:47.080 We'll watch this.

00:36:47.500 Okay, okay.

00:36:48.640 Someone in the chat is going to put it.

00:36:49.840 But it was a female McCree. 0.99

00:36:52.660 Ash?

00:36:53.020 Ash?

00:36:53.840 Was it Ash?

00:36:54.620 Yeah, Ash.

00:36:55.120 Bam.

00:36:55.540 That's when I stopped playing.

00:36:56.340 Once they released her.

00:36:57.540 That's when I pretty much was done.

00:37:00.880 But anyway, cool.

00:37:01.700 Let's go ahead and get into the topic.

00:37:02.700 Let's talk about the Silk Road, Ninjas. 0.96

00:37:05.100 Yeah, this is interesting.

00:37:06.740 Yeah.

00:37:06.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:07.400 Overwatch 2 did drop like last year.

00:37:09.240 Yeah.

00:37:09.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:10.720 Yeah, that shit was fun, man.

00:37:12.420 That shit was fun, but I was raging.

00:37:14.640 I just showed my nerd self just now.

00:37:17.440 With my fucking Goku sandals.

00:37:19.120 I think we know already.

00:37:20.440 W Nerd and Myron.

00:37:21.400 Yeah.

00:37:22.020 All right.

00:37:22.440 What do we got here with...

00:37:24.000 I've been telling people, bro.

00:37:25.380 Like, I'm one of y'all, man.

00:37:26.520 I'm the same.

00:37:27.300 Like, I'm not one of these fucking natural chads.

00:37:29.920 Question for everything you know was blank.

00:37:33.400 Bro.

00:37:34.540 Oh.

00:37:35.780 Man.

00:37:38.720 Yo.

00:37:39.480 Yo.

00:37:39.840 Y'all are fucking crazy, bro.

00:37:42.020 Yo.

00:37:42.560 Bigger on YouTube.

00:37:43.920 What the fuck, man?

00:37:45.460 Bro.

00:37:46.620 Yo.

00:37:47.460 W filters, bro.

00:37:49.140 Yo, just follow me on Twitter, David.

00:37:50.900 You just follow me on Twitter, man.

00:37:52.200 Just follow me on Twitter, bro.

00:37:53.800 Elon, take his Twitter account.

00:37:54.620 Come on, man.

00:37:56.540 Myron, thinking of joining, NYPD took the test.

00:37:58.560 The only thing holding me back is the background check slash amount of jobs I've had since being

00:38:01.740 in college has been a good amount, and that might get me turned away from NYPD thoughts.

00:38:07.320 As long as you weren't fired for, like, some problems, like, where you were stealing or

00:38:10.620 doing some dumb shit, you'll be fine, bro.

00:38:12.420 Okay?

00:38:13.980 You'll be fine.

00:38:14.700 And NYPD is actually a very good gig, man.

00:38:16.300 You'll make six figures within a couple years.

00:38:18.960 Granted, New York City sucks, but, you know, you'll make a decent amount of money.

00:38:23.380 My tip is work in the city, but try to live in Connecticut or New Jersey.

00:38:29.300 King Darula.

00:38:29.860 Myron, when having a Fed job, getting a second job to supplement income is a priority.

00:38:33.460 Can you go over your story?

00:38:34.480 Seems so crazy how you made a second six-figure stream in such a short amount of time.

00:38:38.160 Can you go over the steps?

00:38:39.580 Ooh.

00:38:42.140 Okay.

00:38:43.000 I'm going to do a Cliff Notes version, then we really got to get into the topic at hand,

00:38:46.540 okay, guys?

00:38:47.000 But I love you.

00:38:47.560 I want to give you guys some sauce, and we started a little bit late, so I feel like

00:38:49.780 I owe you guys this.

00:38:50.880 Okay?

00:38:53.100 Number one, if you're going to be a special agent in the government, guys, you are going to

00:38:55.720 get six figures at some point, okay?

00:38:57.120 Most of the time when you get hired in, you're going to get hired, if it's ATF, DEA, HSI,

00:39:01.640 et cetera, most of the time they hire you between a five to a seven, then if you've got a master

00:39:05.720 degree, a lot of times they'll hire you in as a nine.

00:39:07.640 However, once you hit GS-13, you will be making 100 grand per year, okay?

00:39:11.780 Maybe even a GS-12 in some cities, depending on the locality.

00:39:14.520 So, don't worry about that.

00:39:15.720 Within five years, you're going to be making six figures a year.

00:39:17.860 Now, to be honest with y'all, that's more than enough money to live in most places in the

00:39:21.960 United States, assuming you don't spend your money like an absolute moron.

00:39:24.480 Now, let's say you want to start a side business or whatever it may be because you just kind

00:39:29.200 of want to do it, right?

00:39:31.500 What I personally did was, that money that I made, since I lived way below my means, I

00:39:35.320 was able to save and I invested it in, obviously, with Brandon Carter, got that mentoring, and

00:39:39.420 then I was able to start up my fitness business, and I was able to do a six figures.

00:39:42.700 However, being very transparent about this, it was an online business, which means there

00:39:47.920 was very little overhead, no brick and mortar, no none of that.

00:39:50.000 I was able to do everything online, so when I wasn't working for the G, I was able to

00:39:55.420 do everything from my phone and deal with clients and everything else like that.

00:39:59.480 So, if you are going to start a side hustle while working for the government, especially

00:40:03.040 with an invasive job like a special agent where you're working all hours of the night,

00:40:06.160 et cetera, you're going to need to do something that's online that has low overhead, okay?

00:40:11.360 Some kind of online service-based business is the way to go.

00:40:15.020 It could be consulting, whatever.

00:40:15.980 But, step one, and I've said this a million times, all my guys in the military, all my

00:40:19.400 guys in law enforcement, whether you work for a city, state, municipality, federal government,

00:40:23.360 whatever it may be, always fill out outside employment paperwork.

00:40:30.220 If you work for the government, I don't give a fuck if it's the county, the city, the state,

00:40:35.160 the federal government, I don't even give a fuck if you work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

00:40:38.660 okay?

00:40:39.320 Any type of government job, all right?

00:40:42.260 Military, whatever it is, always fill out outside employment paperwork or make sure that

00:40:45.620 you don't need outside employment paperwork for whatever you're going to do.

00:40:49.840 But knowing it's a government job, 99% of the time, they're going to want you to fill

00:40:52.200 out some type of outside employment slash outside activity paperwork, get it cleared

00:40:56.440 with your chain of command before you even start the business or start doing it, okay?

00:41:00.680 Because it's outside employment and activity, all right?

00:41:03.620 So even if you're not being paid for, you still got to disclose it.

00:41:06.060 Now, you know, people go, oh, but Myron, why do I got to do that?

00:41:09.180 They're probably going to decline me.

00:41:10.240 Well, trust me, put it this way.

00:41:11.720 It's better for you to try and get declined, then you do it behind their back, and then

00:41:15.460 they find out, and then next thing you know, fuck an internal affairs investigation on your

00:41:18.500 dumb ass. 0.99

00:41:19.180 Stupid.

00:41:19.760 So it ain't worth it, guys, to lose your main gig over it.

00:41:22.760 But that's how I did it.

00:41:23.740 Service-based business, online, low overhead.

00:41:26.480 You could do it on the side.

00:41:27.720 And understand, the other thing too, you're going to have to sacrifice.

00:41:30.740 You're not going to have time to go out and be as social as you want.

00:41:32.740 You're going to be running a business while also doing your main job.

00:41:35.380 You're going to have very little free time.

00:41:38.520 So ask yourself if you're prepared to sacrifice.

00:41:41.280 I think you should, but everyone is different.

00:41:42.920 Some people are not willing to sacrifice being social.

00:41:44.980 Okay?

00:41:45.380 So that's the answer.

00:41:48.360 Got to get myself done, Mark, for now I'm answering.

00:41:50.640 Brandon, what do you say to a girl on the first date when you pick her up and you're

00:41:54.460 in the car on the way to a date?

00:41:57.460 I mean, bro, simple shit, man.

00:41:59.400 Ask her to talk about herself.

00:42:00.980 You know, simple questions, man.

00:42:02.860 You guys don't overcomplicate it, man.

00:42:04.840 It's just a conversation.

00:42:05.900 That's all it is.

00:42:06.660 All right, let's get into the topic at hand.

00:42:09.320 We've delayed this.

00:42:10.420 Apologize.

00:42:13.100 Let's go ahead and hit the Wikipedia first.

00:42:14.720 So guys, today we're going to be covering Silk Road and Ross Ulbricht.

00:42:17.440 I hope I pronounced that correctly.

00:42:19.160 Here he is.

00:42:21.180 Ross William Ulbricht, born March 27, 1984, is an American serving life imprisonment for

00:42:26.500 creating and operating the dark net market website Silk Road from 2011 until his arrest

00:42:31.320 in 2013.

00:42:31.860 2013, the site operated as a hidden service.

00:42:35.720 One second, just make it bigger.

00:42:37.080 Okay.

00:42:38.760 Where we at here?

00:42:39.760 The site operated right here.

00:42:40.840 The site operated as a hidden service on the Tor network and facilitated the sale of narcotics

00:42:44.620 and other illegal products and services.

00:42:46.920 Ulbricht ran the site under the pseudonym Dead Pirate Roberts after the fictional character

00:42:51.400 from The Prince's Bride.

00:42:52.240 In October 2013, the FBI arrested Ulbricht in Silk Road, was taken offline.

00:42:57.520 In 2015, he was convicted of engaging in continuing criminal enterprise, distributing narcotics,

00:43:01.540 distributing narcotics by means of the internet, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy

00:43:04.520 to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy

00:43:08.020 to commit computer hacking, which kind of sucks because, you know, he just facilitated the

00:43:11.980 website to let it happen.

00:43:13.180 But, you know, obviously, according to American law, you being involved in facilitating a crime

00:43:18.080 also makes you a principal.

00:43:19.440 So, he's currently in the United States Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona.

00:43:25.240 Real quick, early life.

00:43:26.360 Let's see here.

00:43:29.440 I graduated from high school.

00:43:31.140 He was a Boy Scout.

00:43:32.260 He was a Boy Scout.

00:43:33.000 Okay.

00:43:33.960 I'm trying to figure out if he's one of them boys.

00:43:39.900 Maybe not.

00:43:40.840 Maybe not.

00:43:41.340 Okay.

00:43:43.300 All right.

00:43:44.380 All right.

00:43:44.900 All right.

00:43:45.380 All right.

00:43:45.440 Let's move on to the next one.

00:43:54.580 So, Silk Road, guys.

00:43:55.400 Silk Road right here is, was a network of Eurasian routes active from the second century?

00:44:00.320 What?

00:44:00.600 Nigga. 1.00

00:44:00.820 Nigga picked up the wrong Silk Road. 1.00

00:44:02.580 No, no, no.

00:44:03.000 This is one.

00:44:03.440 Man, bills, man.

00:44:04.760 You got to put Silk Road Marketplace.

00:44:07.360 I was just right there.

00:44:08.620 This nigga. 1.00

00:44:09.660 Marketplace.

00:44:10.220 Yeah.

00:44:10.620 Y'all can't blame me, bro.

00:44:11.780 Yeah, man.

00:44:12.340 Yeah, that's the most nigga shit I've seen. 1.00

00:44:14.260 You can really search Silk Road and click the one of, like, the historic times.

00:44:19.040 You got to put Silk Road Marketplace, too.

00:44:21.080 Oh, I didn't notice either.

00:44:22.700 He said I didn't notice.

00:44:23.320 I didn't notice either.

00:44:24.300 All right.

00:44:24.520 We got it.

00:44:24.960 We got it.

00:44:25.320 Okay.

00:44:25.520 Y'all got it this time?

00:44:26.280 All right.

00:44:27.000 God damn.

00:44:28.080 All right.

00:44:28.640 Silk Road was an online black market and the first modern darknet market.

00:44:32.560 It was launched in 2011 by its American founder, Ross Ulbrich, under the pseudonym Dead

00:44:36.920 Pirate Roberts.

00:44:37.560 He managed the entire marketplace from his personal laptop, which was received by the

00:44:42.680 FBI on October 1st, 2013.

00:44:44.300 As part of the dark web, Silk Road operates as a hidden service on the Tor network, allowing

00:44:47.760 users to buy and sell products and services between each other anonymously.

00:44:51.780 All transactions were conducted with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, which aided in protecting

00:44:54.620 user identities.

00:44:56.060 All right.

00:44:56.340 So we got a documentary here.

00:44:57.760 Angie, you want to tell them about the documentary that we're going to get into here a little bit?

00:44:59.940 Um, it basically explains everything about, um, how Ross Ulbrich built this whole, um,

00:45:06.960 like network thing, like, yeah, marketplace.

00:45:10.940 Um, this was a marketplace site that was operating in the dark web.

00:45:16.040 So I don't know if you guys know, but if you do your research, you will know that there

00:45:20.280 is a lot of federal agents, um, like, um, I don't know how to say it, but they, they

00:45:26.680 like, Oh, they are always there, like checking if somebody is doing like, Oh yeah.

00:45:30.680 Yeah.

00:45:31.340 So they have their, their tools and like, and their ways to find these people that do this.

00:45:36.380 And you, I don't, I have never tried the dark web ever, but I don't want to, I don't want

00:45:42.180 to do it.

00:45:42.560 But if you research stuff at least a little bit, you'll find that it's really like, you

00:45:47.080 find horrible stuff there.

00:45:48.380 They don't only sell drugs.

00:45:49.860 They, they, you can't find how to buy like an organs, crazy stuff there.

00:45:55.020 So, yeah.

00:45:56.440 So yeah.

00:45:57.240 Get a liver, buy one, get one free.

00:45:58.560 Yeah.

00:45:59.080 Yeah.

00:45:59.480 It's the dark web.

00:46:00.300 Yeah.

00:46:00.840 They sell kits.

00:46:01.940 That's where people that do like C, C, B, um, you know?

00:46:07.720 Yeah.

00:46:08.040 Yeah.

00:46:08.320 Yeah.

00:46:08.420 The thing we can't say.

00:46:09.280 Yeah.

00:46:09.400 Yeah.

00:46:10.080 They, they do it there.

00:46:11.340 So that's like the main, the main stuff.

00:46:14.200 And that's why he got such a heavy sentence.

00:46:15.440 Cause he facilitated all that on the website, even though he wasn't the one that was actually

00:46:18.740 selling it.

00:46:19.280 The fact that he facilitated it is what they're going after.

00:46:22.420 And I believe that the main agency that, that goes after these people is the FBI.

00:46:26.860 Yeah.

00:46:27.260 HSI does it too.

00:46:28.620 Um, if you look, when they shut the website down, they had the, uh, um, Homeland Security

00:46:33.020 seal and they had the FBI seal because HSI is really big on cyber crime as well as a

00:46:38.080 piracy.

00:46:38.440 Cause they were selling a lot of bootleg shit on there as well.

00:46:40.200 Uh, but you know, like I told y'all before, I've, I've given, I've told you guys this,

00:46:45.040 that HSI is terrible at marketing itself.

00:46:46.760 Uh, it's not, it's not uncommon for HSI to do a case.

00:46:50.280 FBI comes in after the fact and then they take the case down and everyone thinks it's

00:46:53.620 an FBI case because HSI is terrible at fucking marketing themselves.

00:46:56.600 Um, it's one of the, it's one of the things actually, like if I ever went back, I would

00:47:00.380 tell them like, y'all need a better online presence.

00:47:02.100 You guys need to fucking like, I would run the social media.

00:47:04.440 Like y'all are fucking trash with this shit. 0.89

00:47:06.920 Like it's fucking terrible.

00:47:08.140 Like the one thing that the FBI does really, really well that other agencies don't is they

00:47:12.860 know how to market themselves.

00:47:14.100 They know how to keep themselves relevant in the movies.

00:47:16.000 They know how to keep themselves relevant in pop culture.

00:47:18.260 They do documentaries where, um, they give insights to old cases, uh, so people can learn.

00:47:24.060 Uh, that's one thing that they're really, really fucking good at.

00:47:26.620 The other agencies need to learn, uh, how to do, you know, a DEA is getting better at

00:47:30.600 it.

00:47:31.080 Um, but HSI, absolutely terrible.

00:47:33.360 ATF, absolutely terrible.

00:47:35.100 Um, you know, ATF is even worse.

00:47:36.840 Like they just have negative stigmas pretty much, you know, fast and furious.

00:47:40.040 Um, you know, these types of big cases, people that know the, the Waco siege.

00:47:44.380 Like when you think ATF, it's like terrible shit, you know, um, Biro has his bad shit

00:47:49.460 too, but right.

00:47:51.180 At least they have, um, good shit as well.

00:47:54.760 You know, they have a, the FBI nowadays is getting a bad rap for all the dumb shit that

00:47:59.760 they're doing with, you know, uh, political, um, how do I say this?

00:48:04.680 Being used as a political force almost, especially with the Trump indictments or whatever, but

00:48:08.420 you know, that's a whole other conversation.

00:48:10.100 Wrong.

00:48:10.980 Let's see here.

00:48:11.660 Uh, so, uh, I don't know, uh, if this video will get hit with the copyright, but if that

00:48:17.160 happens, I'll have another one as a backup that we can also watch.

00:48:20.800 Okay.

00:48:21.600 Okay.

00:48:21.920 So this is the one you want to start with?

00:48:23.220 Yeah.

00:48:23.560 This is like.

00:48:24.200 The internet's favorite drug Lord.

00:48:25.580 And this comes from, let's give a shout out to the, uh, the, um, the creator here.

00:48:30.700 Uh, oh, it's Phil, ah, Philion.

00:48:34.720 Oh.

00:48:35.620 Why?

00:48:36.120 What happened?

00:48:36.820 Oh, I didn't know it was this nigga, man. 1.00

00:48:38.300 Why?

00:48:38.560 What happened?

00:48:39.640 Yeah.

00:48:40.020 He's not really, uh, look, I'm not even going to be a hater.

00:48:45.420 Cause I didn't, cause I, cause I didn't see this.

00:48:47.400 Angie picked this.

00:48:48.460 Oh yeah.

00:48:49.100 What happened?

00:48:49.820 I'm so confused right now.

00:48:51.000 I'm so sorry.

00:48:51.500 What happened?

00:48:52.200 Oh man.

00:48:52.840 Now you didn't know.

00:48:53.560 You didn't know.

00:48:54.600 Let's go ahead and use the other one.

00:48:56.000 Oh, this is like OG.

00:49:05.700 Yeah.

00:49:06.020 Yeah.

00:49:06.200 He, he, he took a lot of shit about us, but like three, like, no, three years ago.

00:49:10.680 Yeah.

00:49:10.960 Late 2020.

00:49:11.720 Yeah.

00:49:11.920 Late 2020.

00:49:13.200 Yeah.

00:49:13.380 He made some videos talking shit.

00:49:14.520 A lot of, a lot of people wouldn't know.

00:49:17.100 A lot of people wouldn't.

00:49:18.460 Yeah.

00:49:18.840 Yeah.

00:49:19.120 Right.

00:49:20.480 But Angie ain't going to know that shit. 1.00

00:49:22.300 She ain't going to know that.

00:49:23.200 Give him a like, give him a follow.

00:49:24.400 I'm like, yeah, that nigga is a hater, bro. 1.00

00:49:28.560 Hey, yo, fuck him, bro.

00:49:31.580 You almost follow him and subscribe.

00:49:34.160 You almost like the video and subscribe.

00:49:35.780 Yeah.

00:49:35.940 Well, I, hey, I'm surprised cause normally what he does is he just makes videos talking

00:49:39.000 shit about people.

00:49:39.920 Yeah.

00:49:40.260 That's normally what he does.

00:49:41.100 Well, he made like a whole documentary on this guy, so it's kind of cool though.

00:49:44.760 All right.

00:49:45.360 Well, hey man, I hope he continues to do that instead of just bashing people all day.

00:49:48.760 Cause that's what he normally does is just bash people all day.

00:49:51.180 But yeah, we'll use this one.

00:49:52.740 Who's this one from?

00:49:53.720 Newstink?

00:49:54.400 All right.

00:49:55.120 We can not use that either.

00:49:56.420 Oh my God.

00:49:57.120 No, no, we can use Newstink.

00:49:57.980 Yeah, yeah, we can.

00:49:58.660 We can.

00:50:09.460 Woman? 0.96

00:50:10.040 Nah, it's okay.

00:50:11.000 A woman.

00:50:11.520 Yeah, I know how you guys are.

00:50:15.900 They arrested 29-year-old Ross Ulbricht.

00:50:18.740 Ulbricht ran the largest, most sophisticated online market for illegal drugs in history.

00:50:23.500 He named it Silk Road, a reference to the ancient trade routes that connected China to Europe beginning in the 2nd century BC.

00:50:29.360 Ulbricht hoped to create his own modern day marketplace, except his would sell hardcore drugs and other illegal goods.

00:50:35.240 Over the two years and 10 months that Silk Road operated, federal prosecutors say it processed nearly 214 million in sales using Bitcoin.

00:50:42.500 The site operated on a hidden part of the internet called the Dark Web.

00:50:45.600 Prosecutors say a journal the FBI found on Ulbricht's computer stated he wanted to create a website for people to buy anything anonymously with no trail whatsoever.

00:50:52.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:53.360 You could go 1X.

00:50:54.180 Okay.

00:50:58.540 ...that could lead back to them.

00:51:00.640 Unfortunately for Ulbricht, he did leave a trail of digital breadcrumbs that ultimately took him down and his empire with it.

00:51:07.660 Ulbricht was born on March 17, 1984 in Austin, Texas.

00:51:11.660 He was a Boy Scout, attaining the highest rank of Eagle Scout, just like his dad had done.

00:51:16.020 Austin, Texas, just so y'all know, by the way, one of the fastest growing cities in the United States for the past, like, you know, 15 years or whatever.

00:51:21.700 Austin has constantly been in, like, the top 10 cities.

00:51:26.300 Really bad traffic, though.

00:51:27.820 Underrated.

00:51:28.280 People don't know how bad the traffic is in Austin.

00:51:30.420 Funny story.

00:51:32.680 I remember I had an arrest warrant for a guy.

00:51:35.260 This was back, like, 2014, 2015-ish.

00:51:37.860 I had an arrest warrant for a guy, and they, yeah, we're going back in time right now.

00:51:42.360 And, you know, as you guys know, I was in Laredo, Texas.

00:51:45.280 Laredo's about three hours south of Austin on Interstate Highway 35.

00:51:50.140 And he got arrested in Travis County, which, if I'm not mistaken, Travis County is where Austin is located.

00:51:55.960 San Antonio's in Bear County, and then Austin is in Travis County.

00:51:59.220 He got arrested in a little rinky-dick town outside of Austin.

00:52:01.900 And they called me and said, hey, we got your, because whenever you have an arrest warrant on somebody, right,

00:52:07.060 they call the agency that has the arrest warrant on them to see if it's still valid.

00:52:10.800 And they called, hey, we got your guy in custody here, blah, blah, blah.

00:52:13.960 We see that there's a federal arrest warrant for him, blah, blah, blah.

00:52:16.160 So I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, no, I'll definitely, you know, obviously we're going to honor that.

00:52:19.700 So I fucking, you know, jumped in with my guy from DEA, and we drove all the way up to Austin, Texas.

00:52:25.180 And, you know, and we went to go get him and bring him to court and shit like that.

00:52:28.940 And I'll never forget the traffic, how bad it was, bro, because there's one main highway that goes through Austin, and it's Interstate 35.

00:52:35.720 I know there was another highway that goes around Austin, so you don't have to go through the traffic.

00:52:38.980 But the thing with Austin, Texas, is that it's been, basically the city grew too fast,

00:52:44.500 and the infrastructure has not caught up to the population explosion, okay?

00:52:48.500 It's been growing for a significant amount of years.

00:52:51.520 Sorry, it's been growing exponentially for years now, and the infrastructure never caught up.

00:52:57.300 And now, right, you've got people like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Google, fuck, I forget what other tech company he moved out there to Austin, Texas.

00:53:06.060 But big tech, a lot of them left Silicon Valley and went over to Texas for obviously more attractive taxes, better cost of living, et cetera, not as woke.

00:53:16.140 And, you know, Austin now is super, it's a little bit more liberal now.

00:53:19.360 I would consider Austin one of the few places in Texas that isn't really Texas because it's kind of woke over there.

00:53:24.680 But, yeah, a great city.

00:53:26.920 Stay away from the 6th Street guys at night can be pretty dangerous.

00:53:30.800 But, yeah, I would say one of the worst traffics, one of the worst traffic in the country by far.

00:53:37.000 People always complain about Houston and L.A. and New York.

00:53:39.740 Austin might be worse, and the reason why is because there's so many people that live there compared to the infrastructure that's there.

00:53:44.640 Because the city is, the infrastructure for the city is like really for only a few hundred thousand people, but there's a lot of people that live there now.

00:53:50.860 So, yeah, so that was a funny story.

00:53:53.120 Their courthouse is nice, though.

00:53:54.320 I remember because after I drove, because, you know, as you guys know, when you arrest someone, you have to bring them in front of a magistrate judge within 24 hours.

00:54:01.800 I brought him in front of the judge, presented him whatever it may be.

00:54:04.560 He gets remanded to the marshals, right, because he was a flight risk.

00:54:07.560 And then at this point, it's like 3, 4 p.m. in the afternoon, you know.

00:54:11.660 And at that point, that's rush hour, right, in big cities like this.

00:54:15.200 So I said, fuck it.

00:54:16.060 I just ended up staying the night because it would have taken me way too long to get back down south to Laredo.

00:54:23.120 But, yeah, that's my – and then also I rode in Austin a few years.

00:54:27.100 My first year in college, we went to Austin for a training trip.

00:54:29.540 I remember it was fucking cold.

00:54:30.720 Holy shit.

00:54:31.680 We went in, like, December thinking it was going to be warm.

00:54:33.540 It was cold, dude.

00:54:34.820 But, yeah, nice place.

00:54:36.360 I like it.

00:54:37.140 A little woke now.

00:54:38.280 It's not what it used to be, but a good place.

00:54:40.460 And some of the most expensive real estate now as well, one of the fast-growing markets for real estate.

00:54:45.360 It exploded after the pandemic.

00:54:48.280 So, anyway.

00:54:51.580 Shout out Kumo and Kamino.

00:54:53.480 Shout out to you all.

00:54:54.880 Growing up an easygoing hipster but serious student who scored 1,460 on his SATs within the 96th percentile

00:55:02.680 and got a full ride to the University of Texas at Austin, where he studied physics.

00:55:06.980 He then won another full scholarship for a master's at Penn State in material science and engineering.

00:55:12.840 It was at Penn that he evolved into a hardcore libertarian, a political philosophy that advocates individualism and minimal state involvement in people's lives.

00:55:21.200 He was a fan and follower of libertarian economist Ludwig von Mises, who opposed government interference in the economy.

00:55:28.380 When then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked what is America's greatest challenge, Ulbricht responded like this on his YouTube channel.

00:55:35.760 You know, but I think the most important thing is getting us out of the United Nations.

00:55:40.600 Ulbricht wanted to create a world free from institutional or government control.

00:55:45.000 That mindset led him to create Silk Road in January 2011.

00:55:49.080 You couldn't type in a normal web address to get to Silk Road or use a normal web browser.

00:55:54.380 You needed software called Tor that works as a web browser.

00:55:58.020 Tor was developed by the U.S. Navy as a way of communicating privately over the Internet.

00:56:02.820 It conceals the real IP address of computers on the network to hide the identity of the user, and it can't be traced by the government.

00:56:09.600 Silk Road's...

00:56:10.040 Oh, go ahead.

00:56:10.740 Ludwig von...

00:56:11.700 Ludwig von...

00:56:11.720 Ludwig von...

00:56:12.800 Ludwig von...

00:56:13.080 Von...

00:56:13.360 Von...

00:56:13.440 Mises.

00:56:14.160 Okay.

00:56:15.660 Uh, Ludwig von...

00:56:17.220 Von...

00:56:17.660 Von...

00:56:18.220 Von Mises.

00:56:18.280 Oh, who's that?

00:56:19.080 I know that, but, like, did he get mentioned in the documentary or something?

00:56:23.020 Yeah, yeah, he was just mentioned in there.

00:56:24.920 Oh, okay.

00:56:25.520 Yeah.

00:56:25.880 Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay.

00:56:27.160 I get what you're saying.

00:56:27.640 The guy, the libertarian guy?

00:56:28.620 Yeah.

00:56:29.200 Oh, well, interesting, because...

00:56:31.300 I just looked up early life.

00:56:32.660 Yeah, fair enough.

00:56:34.540 Karl Marx as well.

00:56:36.120 The father of communism?

00:56:38.460 The father of communism.

00:56:40.420 Yeah, also.

00:56:42.360 Yep.

00:56:43.120 Bolsheviks? 0.98

00:56:44.240 Oh.

00:56:46.980 Yeah.

00:56:47.780 All right, we keep going.

00:56:48.480 I might have fucked my head up.

00:56:49.540 Yeah, man.

00:56:50.800 That early life tells you a lot, huh?

00:56:52.320 Oh, man!

00:56:55.500 Oh, Lord.

00:56:57.320 Let's keep going.

00:56:58.800 Oh, okay.

00:56:59.620 There you go.

00:56:59.980 The address used a bunch of random numbers and letters that ended with .onion.

00:57:05.580 Ulbricht made the site by teaching himself how to code.

00:57:08.140 When he needed more help, he reached out on a Bitcoin community forum, writing, I'm looking

00:57:12.680 for the best and brightest IT pro in the Bitcoin community to be the lead developer in a venture-backed

00:57:18.000 Bitcoin startup company.

00:57:19.360 Anyone interested was to contact him via his email.

00:57:22.480 Pause.

00:57:22.780 Ross Ulbricht at G...

00:57:24.000 Bills, I want to get your take on this, because you do coding.

00:57:27.320 Obviously, we'll watch a little bit more, but I want to get your take on it, like, how

00:57:31.060 difficult this feat is that he's about to embark on, as far as from, like, a coding perspective.

00:57:35.620 Bro, it's damn near, it's pretty impossible, honestly.

00:57:38.380 It was damn near impossible at the time.

00:57:40.020 He did a great job.

00:57:40.800 He found, like, super genius people to come together and make Silk Road.

00:57:45.220 If you know Toro Browser, you know Toro Browser.

00:57:47.200 Technology way ahead of its time?

00:57:48.440 Bro, of course, bro.

00:57:49.320 He used Bitcoins, like, saying that he used the Bitcoin, like, to...

00:57:53.120 It sounds genius, bro.

00:57:54.520 And around 2011, that's exactly when Bitcoin was just about, like, getting really up there.

00:57:59.500 Yep, yep, yep, yep.

00:58:00.700 It was still...

00:58:01.200 I wonder, what was Bitcoin in 2011?

00:58:03.320 What was one Bitcoin?

00:58:04.280 Can we Google it real quick?

00:58:05.180 It was probably, like, $100.

00:58:06.560 Let's, yeah, let's see what Bitcoin was in 2011.

00:58:09.780 Like, the cost for one Bitcoin.

00:58:12.000 Nowadays, right?

00:58:13.120 Let me look here and see what the cost of Bitcoin is now.

00:58:16.680 It was $30.

00:58:17.400 It was $30 in 2011?

00:58:19.220 $30.

00:58:19.980 Yo! 1.00

00:58:20.580 Okay, compared to today, it is...

00:58:23.780 Bro, did you hear about the guy that bought, like, a Domino's Pizza with, like, 10 Bitcoin?

00:58:27.700 A Domino's Pizza?

00:58:28.820 He bought a Domino's Pizza, like, in 2008 or 2009 with, like, 10 Bitcoin or some shit like that.

00:58:33.300 That's crazy.

00:58:34.400 Yeah.

00:58:34.780 Now Bitcoin's worth $37,000.

00:58:36.320 As of this moment right now, 10.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 26th, 2013...

00:58:43.320 23, sorry, 10 years later, it is now worth $37,244.

00:58:48.620 You know...

00:58:49.280 Bitcoin.

00:58:49.940 Isn't that crazy, bro?

00:58:50.720 Shut up. 0.95

00:58:51.020 W, Bitcoin.

00:58:51.540 Get a Domino's Pizza currency.

00:58:53.280 Yeah, man.

00:58:53.820 Facts.

00:58:56.580 Yeah, man.

00:58:57.780 Yeah, someone in the chat...

00:58:59.220 Some of y'all know, how much did he spend on that goddamn pizza?

00:59:02.640 You can Google it real quick, Bills on the side.

00:59:04.260 Or, Mo, can you fax check it?

00:59:05.700 Boom, Bucca! 0.99

00:59:06.260 I don't know how much he spent on that fucking pizza, because it was crazy, bro.

00:59:10.260 If he had to save that shit...

00:59:11.540 You know what I just remembered, too?

00:59:12.920 10,000 Bitcoin?

00:59:13.740 Bro.

00:59:14.160 No, y'all a cap.

00:59:15.400 He didn't spend no fucking 10K Bitcoin.

00:59:17.520 Bitcoin was like...

00:59:18.820 Bitcoin was less than a penny at a point.

00:59:20.620 I'm positive it probably was.

00:59:22.620 God damn.

00:59:23.920 Yeah, bro.

00:59:24.580 I could believe that.

00:59:25.500 Definitely.

00:59:25.740 Yo.

00:59:26.360 And you know what's so funny?

00:59:27.380 I remember, like, Silk Road actually...

00:59:28.840 Mo, double check.

00:59:29.780 Silk Road helped Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in such a big way.

00:59:33.540 He said it was in May 22nd, 2010, buying two Supreme Pizzas.

00:59:37.460 And how much did it cost?

00:59:39.820 10,000 BTC.

00:59:41.920 Wow.

00:59:42.620 Mo, that sounds like the shit you'll do, nigga. 1.00

00:59:45.980 Yo, man.

00:59:47.140 So, in 2013, which was when the side closed, because they found this guy and he got arrested,

00:59:54.400 Bitcoin, the highest price that it was, it was $1,000.

01:00:01.180 $1,100.

01:00:02.640 So, $1,100.

01:00:03.620 In 2013 at the highest?

01:00:04.900 Yeah.

01:00:05.060 Okay.

01:00:05.380 Today's equivalent is $266 million.

01:00:09.660 Yo! 1.00

01:00:11.320 I hope those $266 million pizzas were good, man.

01:00:14.920 Bumbuka! 0.98

01:00:15.360 God damn.

01:00:16.240 What were they, Papa John's?

01:00:17.140 Papa John's.

01:00:17.940 Papa retard. 1.00

01:00:18.840 God damn!

01:00:20.060 Worth it.

01:00:20.540 Yeah, that's exactly what I...

01:00:21.580 Now I'm playing.

01:00:24.220 Yo! 1.00

01:00:25.660 Those are some expensive pizzas, man.

01:00:27.880 I thought I was fat, bro.

01:00:29.380 Yo, holy shit.

01:00:32.240 Oh, man.

01:00:33.160 All right.

01:00:33.860 I wouldn't even buy that shit at my fattest, bro.

01:00:35.640 You know what's crazy?

01:00:36.000 When they closed this thing down, the whole side was costing 9,500 bitcoins.

01:00:44.680 When...

01:00:45.280 9,000.

01:00:46.700 The site, Silk Road.

01:00:48.200 It had 9,500 bitcoin in it?

01:00:50.000 Yeah.

01:00:50.140 Oh, the government probably sees that shit.

01:00:52.700 So, what would that be equal?

01:00:54.600 9,500 bitcoin?

01:00:55.940 Yeah.

01:00:56.300 I cannot say the number.

01:00:57.500 It's too long.

01:00:58.260 Okay, Mo.

01:00:58.720 Can you multiply it for us real quick?

01:01:00.980 9,500 bitcoin times 38k.

01:01:03.900 Oh, that's a lot.

01:01:05.020 That's going to be a lot, bro.

01:01:06.180 That's going to be a lot.

01:01:06.680 No, the site was making sales of that amount.

01:01:10.180 Oh.

01:01:10.360 That amount.

01:01:11.100 Every day?

01:01:12.660 I mean...

01:01:13.980 Every day it was doing that?

01:01:15.140 So, this is the amount in dollars.

01:01:17.720 I don't know if you can spell that number.

01:01:19.340 It's too long.

01:01:20.080 What the fuck?

01:01:22.040 That's like a trillion.

01:01:23.460 Yeah.

01:01:23.700 Bro.

01:01:24.460 Yeah.

01:01:25.020 I can't even...

01:01:25.780 What?

01:01:26.360 The math does not compute.

01:01:28.000 Bro.

01:01:28.420 No.

01:01:28.840 Hold on.

01:01:29.340 That's the bitcoin?

01:01:32.220 Yeah.

01:01:32.640 Two dollars.

01:01:34.360 Goddamn.

01:01:35.000 All right.

01:01:35.660 That's a lot.

01:01:36.480 All right.

01:01:36.840 Let's go back to the doc.

01:01:38.300 Oh, sorry.

01:01:41.340 Hold on one second.

01:01:42.100 Coming up right now.

01:01:42.660 Oh, yeah.

01:01:53.020 That's Al.

01:01:53.420 He also got coding help from a buddy of his from undergrad, Richard Bates.

01:01:57.800 Albrecht had no choice but to eventually tell his friend what he was up to.

01:02:01.300 He also told his girlfriend, Julia V.

01:02:03.540 One day, he showed her the psychedelic mushrooms he was growing and selling as a starter product on his new website.

01:02:09.420 Silk Road would eventually be a marketplace for all kinds of drugs.

01:02:12.980 Weed, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, heroin.

01:02:16.940 This fit Albrecht's libertarian mindset.

01:02:19.540 He believed that whatever someone decided to put in their body was their choice and no one else's, least of all the government's.

01:02:26.160 Albrecht also believed everyone had the right to self-defense when guns started appearing on Silk Road.

01:02:31.120 However, he realized he didn't need the controversy and soon took weapons off the site.

01:02:36.020 After getting his business up and running, he turned his attention to a...

01:02:39.000 That's one thing I'll disagree with as far as like...

01:02:41.860 Because I have a lot of libertarian stances as well as far as like from a political standpoint.

01:02:46.180 But that's one thing I don't agree with is like just letting people use drugs.

01:02:49.100 Because the problem is that when you...

01:02:52.900 Illicit drugs come with inherent problems that are dangerous to society.

01:02:57.300 What ends up happening is you're always going to end up with a black market of people that are selling the drugs and are willing to use violence to distribute said drugs.

01:03:05.400 Now, I know some of you guys might say, well, if you just regulate it, it'll be fine.

01:03:09.820 There's always going to be a way that criminal enterprises are going to be able to bring in harder, pure, cheaper drugs than the pharmaceuticals, etc.

01:03:17.260 So you're never going to really remove that street element from drug trafficking.

01:03:21.220 I mean, look at this.

01:03:22.140 Marijuana is legal in a lot of states, but there's still illicit marijuana trade all over the country.

01:03:27.340 And then I think Portland, if I'm not mistaken, just recently decriminalized drugs.

01:03:32.460 And crime has actually went up from doing that.

01:03:34.940 So, you know what I mean?

01:03:36.360 I know they say, oh, no, just let people use drugs.

01:03:38.340 It's a personal decision, blah, blah, blah.

01:03:39.680 The problem is that drug use comes with inherent problems that are not just limited to the actual drug use.

01:03:44.560 That's the problem with it.

01:03:46.700 And I can tell you guys that from being on the front lines.

01:03:49.160 People might say, Omar, earn your bias, blah, blah, blah.

01:03:50.640 Well, not really.

01:03:51.880 I just see that the drug trade comes with inherent societal issues and presents societal dangers just from it existing.

01:04:01.380 So that's just kind of what it is.

01:04:03.140 That's why I don't think that legalizing drugs is ever a good move.

01:04:06.960 And then on top of that, making it legal and making it more available to the general public isn't a good look in general because more people are going to go, oh, let's experiment.

01:04:15.320 Let's try it.

01:04:15.840 So I think demonizing it from a societal standpoint, making it illegal from a society standpoint helps a lot with deterrence.

01:04:25.160 And then punishing those that traffic it also is a form of deterrence.

01:04:28.960 I know people are going to say, bro, but that doesn't mean anything because someone else is going to pop up and sell drugs.

01:04:33.320 That's true, but we shouldn't make it easier for them either.

01:04:36.360 So that's my take on it.

01:04:37.900 Some of you guys might agree.

01:04:38.800 Some of you guys might disagree.

01:04:40.740 But drugs always comes with other problems as well.

01:04:43.940 It's not just the free use of drugs that's the issue.

01:04:46.380 It's all the other auxiliary problems that come alongside it.

01:04:49.840 Let's go back to the doc.

01:04:51.700 Also, guys, we got about over 3,000 of y'all in here between YouTube and Rumble.

01:04:54.980 Do me a favor.

01:04:56.060 Can you guys please like the video on YouTube?

01:04:59.200 And let's get back to it.

01:05:02.040 682 likes.

01:05:03.120 Yeah.

01:05:04.080 682.

01:05:04.400 Let's get one to 1,000, guys.

01:05:05.480 Attracting customers.

01:05:09.760 He decided to write a post on a Magic Mushrooms forum called The Shroomery, pretending to be someone who happened to come across Silk Road.

01:05:16.600 He used the username Altoid, posting,

01:05:18.800 I'm thinking of buying off it, but wanted to see if anyone here had heard of it and could recommend it.

01:05:23.880 He included a link with instructions on how to access Silk Road.

01:05:27.160 He did the same on a Bitcoin community forum about buying and selling heroin, describing Silk Road as an anonymous Amazon.com.

01:05:35.000 It wasn't long before buyers showed up.

01:05:37.520 To limit scams, there was a rating system for sellers similar to Amazon reviews.

01:05:41.940 If a seller sold bad drugs and got a poor rating, it would hurt their sales.

01:05:45.320 The drugs arrived by mail with fake return addresses.

01:05:49.060 They'd be slipped inside CD and DVD cases.

01:05:51.960 Some sellers got even more creative and put them in little ripples of cardboard.

01:05:56.320 The packages had printed mailing labels rather than handwritten ones to look like they came from a legitimate business.

01:06:02.440 Ironically, that backfired.

01:06:04.480 The printed labels actually attracted the suspicion of authorities.

01:06:07.720 In the summer of 2011, Department of Homeland Security agent Jared Derjagian learned of a small link package

01:06:14.420 with the printed address.

01:06:15.500 Oh, yeah.

01:06:16.600 This guy's HSI.

01:06:17.960 Yeah.

01:06:18.420 Yeah.

01:06:18.840 All right.

01:06:19.300 Yeah.

01:06:19.720 So, see, again, terrible marketing from HSI.

01:06:22.200 They're just saying, DHS special agent.

01:06:23.840 They don't know that he's from Homeland Security Investigations.

01:06:27.060 But, hey, that's, you know, ICE and DHS not doing a good job of marketing the agency.

01:06:31.300 It is what it is.

01:06:32.040 Let's keep going.

01:06:32.480 A good address going through Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

01:06:37.760 It contained a single pink pill of ecstasy, which was also suspicious.

01:06:41.940 Okay, pause.

01:06:42.300 Because usually they shipped in...

01:06:43.360 All right, guys.

01:06:43.880 So, we're going to see...

01:06:45.000 You guys are going to see something called a control delivery.

01:06:48.520 I'm going to explain it to you guys here in a little bit what a control delivery is.

01:06:51.160 Y'all about to get some sauce today, baby.

01:06:53.380 Welcome to Fed Reacts.

01:06:55.240 I've done these myself.

01:06:56.340 So, I'll explain what this is after they go through it.

01:06:58.400 So, let's run it and then I'll tell you when to pause.

01:07:00.200 ...bulk.

01:07:03.760 Soon, two or three packages begin arriving, then 50, then up to 1,000 a day.

01:07:09.000 Many came from the Netherlands, which is a notorious source of drugs.

01:07:12.840 Agent Duryegian visited an address where one of the packages was to be delivered,

01:07:16.880 chatted with a roommate of the buyer, who said the drugs came from a site called Silk Road.

01:07:21.460 Duryegian had never heard of Silk Road before.

01:07:23.660 He did some digging online and came across an article written by Gawker journalist Adrian Chen in June 2011.

01:07:30.200 Chen wrote,

01:07:31.060 Making small talk with your pot dealer sucks.

01:07:33.580 Buying cocaine can get you shot.

01:07:35.720 What if you could buy and sell drugs online, like books or light bulbs?

01:07:39.440 Now you can.

01:07:40.540 Welcome to Silk Road.

01:07:42.220 The article attracted 3 million views and put Silk Road on the map.

01:07:46.300 All right, pause.

01:07:46.640 Not only did Silk Road...

01:07:48.100 So, okay.

01:07:49.760 So, as you guys can see, the package came in through the Chicago airport and it was intercepted.

01:07:53.840 So, normally, let me go ahead and break down for you guys what this is, okay?

01:07:58.180 Whenever a packet comes in, right, from foreign, all right, it is subject to customs search.

01:08:04.440 Remember, guys, at the border, you have no Fourth Amendment right, right?

01:08:07.840 Which is basically, you know, the right to privacy or, you know, right to having a reasonable expectation of privacy.

01:08:14.560 You don't have that when you come into the United States.

01:08:16.820 That's why they're going to search you.

01:08:17.940 That's why they're going to search your packages, everything you come with.

01:08:19.960 Hell, they can even detain your phones and look through your phones, right?

01:08:22.020 You have no expectation of privacy, no Fourth Amendment rights at the border.

01:08:25.740 That includes packages and people.

01:08:27.940 Everything coming into the United States is subject to search by customs.

01:08:30.340 Okay, now that we've established that, this comes into the Chicago O'Hare Airport, okay, in Illinois, and it's obviously subject to customs inspection.

01:08:40.020 CBP officers, Customs and Border Protection officers, the guys with the blue uniforms, okay?

01:08:43.540 And remember, I've explained this to the difference between Border Patrol and the difference between Customs and Border Protection officers, right?

01:08:48.540 They're both under, there's one umbrella, CBP, and then there's two sides to it.

01:08:52.460 There's Office of Field Operations, and then there's Border Patrol, all right?

01:08:57.580 So it's one umbrella, CBP, wait, wait, DHS, then underneath DHS is CBP, and then underneath CBP, there's two factions.

01:09:04.880 There's CBPO, which is Office of Field Operations, and then Border Patrol.

01:09:08.560 Whenever you're at a valid port of entry, like an airport, a bridge crossing, et cetera, you're going to have the blue uniform guys there.

01:09:15.960 Anytime you're not at a valid point of entry, aka you're trying to go across the Rio Grande River or something like that, you're going to see green uniforms, Border Patrol.

01:09:23.360 Give me one in the chat if that makes sense to you guys so that I can continue this explanation.

01:09:26.960 Give me ones, and if it doesn't make sense, give me a two, and I'll re-explain that part and then keep going, because I want you guys to really understand how this works.

01:09:39.640 And if you're going to put a two, please tell me what is confusing.

01:09:44.500 Don't just put two, put two in Y, if you're going to put two.

01:09:47.580 Someone said two because I have ADHD.

01:09:56.000 I just tweeted about that.

01:09:56.960 I knew he was going to catch that one.

01:09:58.440 You did just tweet about that.

01:09:59.680 Yeah.

01:10:02.360 You just lack focus, bro.

01:10:03.780 Two because Elmiron?

01:10:04.960 Hating.

01:10:07.100 Hating.

01:10:08.880 Two because I just got in.

01:10:11.020 How do we...

01:10:11.580 Two of the abbreviations.

01:10:14.400 Okay, I'll go through it.

01:10:15.420 Two, I wasn't listening.

01:10:18.720 One, no, keep it pushing.

01:10:21.720 Two, I'm a woman.

01:10:27.080 Misogony.

01:10:28.300 Let's see here.

01:10:29.480 Two, American school system.

01:10:38.280 All right.

01:10:40.360 I think I said two because Elfresh.

01:10:41.920 What the fuck?

01:10:42.340 What the fuck, bro?

01:10:48.800 All right.

01:10:50.980 Okay.

01:10:51.720 So you got the Department of Homeland Security.

01:10:53.440 DHS.

01:10:53.940 Department of Homeland Security, right?

01:10:55.860 Underneath...

01:10:56.140 Think of this as Department of Homeland Security's police officers.

01:10:58.740 Okay?

01:10:59.500 Customs and Border Protection.

01:11:00.820 Okay?

01:11:02.040 Within Customs and Border Protection, there's two factions.

01:11:04.400 Okay?

01:11:04.820 You got Border Patrol, green uniform.

01:11:07.180 You got Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations, CBP officers, which are blue uniform.

01:11:11.500 When you go to the airport and you travel internationally, the CBP officers, a.k.a. the guys in the blue uniforms, are the ones that check you in.

01:11:17.540 Correct?

01:11:18.260 And then if you're coming in illegally, maybe through a southwest border or a top border where there isn't a port of entry, like an airport or a sanctioned point of entry, you're going to see green uniforms.

01:11:28.960 Border Patrol.

01:11:29.640 Okay?

01:11:29.820 So, now that we've explained, we'll see what DHS is, CBP is, and then what Customs and Border Protection is, and then what Border Patrol is, because remember, CBP and Border Patrol are two different things.

01:11:40.140 Okay?

01:11:42.080 Since we're at the airport, the airport is a designated port of entry.

01:11:45.380 Okay?

01:11:46.860 Packages come in through there.

01:11:48.360 CBP, the guys with the blue uniforms, inspect the packages because they're customs officers.

01:11:53.100 Okay?

01:11:53.520 They have customs authority, Title 19.

01:11:55.100 So, when they're searching the packages, if they find something where there's drugs or contraband or whatever it may be, they're going to contact who?

01:12:03.940 Homeland Security Investigations.

01:12:05.360 HSI.

01:12:06.160 All right?

01:12:06.740 Now, HSI, think of them as the detectives for the Department of Homeland Security.

01:12:10.280 Okay?

01:12:10.520 They're the investigators.

01:12:12.180 CBP, by law, whenever they catch someone trying to smuggle drugs into the country or smuggle illegal aliens or whatever the fuck it is, they have to contact HSI.

01:12:20.880 Okay?

01:12:21.180 Because they are not investigators.

01:12:22.280 They are interdiction officers, which means their job is to detect and stop, and then as far as furthering the investigations, that's when they call HSI and they come in and they respond.

01:12:32.180 Okay?

01:12:32.960 So, HSI comes in and responds just like this agent saw right here.

01:12:35.500 He probably got a call from CBP, showed up to the airport, saw all these packages.

01:12:38.880 Okay?

01:12:39.640 Then at that point, it's up to the agent, the case agent that comes in, whoever's on call, it's up to him if he wants to do something called a controlled delivery.

01:12:47.820 And what a controlled delivery is, guys, is the package that has a contraband is obviously destined to go somewhere.

01:12:53.840 So, what you're going to do is you're going to allow the package to go to its destination to identify conspirators in the drug network or in the criminal activity.

01:13:03.340 Okay?

01:13:04.140 So, you deliver the package.

01:13:05.940 A lot of times it's going to be an HSI agent, you know, dressed undercover, whatever it may be.

01:13:10.080 Maybe in a DHL or a UPS, whatever the fuck it is.

01:13:12.600 He's going to drop the package off and they're going to wait.

01:13:14.380 They're going to set a tripwire in a box.

01:13:16.180 As soon as that individual opens it, they're going to bust in, arrest him, and then try to flip him.

01:13:22.080 Okay?

01:13:22.360 Flipping is when you try to get someone to cooperate so you can identify other members of the conspiracy.

01:13:26.560 As you guys know, the drug trade is a compartmentalized, large-scale conspiracy where you have people that are distributors, transporters, money launderers, you know, sources of supply, etc.

01:13:40.460 Okay?

01:13:40.740 You have different roles in a drug traffic organization and it's very compartmentalized where individuals might not necessarily know who's in the drug trafficking organization all the time.

01:13:50.120 So, you ask them, where are these drugs designated?

01:13:52.660 Especially when they get a big package, nine out of ten times, it's not for their personal use.

01:13:56.780 They're going to distribute it to other people.

01:13:59.080 So, they're getting it from abroad.

01:14:00.420 They get it.

01:14:00.960 Now, you pretty much have identified someone who more than likely is going to be a regional supplier to some degree.

01:14:05.540 You try to get him to flip.

01:14:06.880 Hey, where is this supposed to go?

01:14:07.880 Okay, I was going to distribute it to here, I was going to distribute it to here, I was going to drop it here, I was going to give it to one of my workers, whatever.

01:14:13.140 And then it's up to the case agent how far they want to take it and how much they want to expand the investigation.

01:14:19.620 That is how a controlled delivery is done.

01:14:24.120 Give me ones in the chat if that made sense.

01:14:25.880 Give me twos in the chat if it didn't make sense.

01:14:29.220 It could be more complicated than that, but I was going very surface level there.

01:14:32.240 And you could do a controlled delivery with anything.

01:14:38.480 You could do it with, hell, I did a controlled delivery one time with illegal aliens, which that's a whole other story.

01:14:44.140 I might have to do an episode for y'all on that one.

01:14:45.540 That one was wild.

01:14:48.740 But you can do it with anything that's contraband.

01:14:50.820 Drugs, sensitive military parts that shouldn't be being moved.

01:14:54.780 Give me, if you're going to put a two in the chat and you're not confused, give me a two as to why you're confused.

01:14:59.000 Because I'm a PhD.

01:15:04.940 I'm a PhD.

01:15:08.140 Nick has had two.

01:15:08.900 I'm Chris's former student.

01:15:21.760 Oh, man.

01:15:22.740 That's actually funny.

01:15:23.440 That's funny.

01:15:23.560 Nick has said two because Moe is breathing like Biggie.

01:15:33.380 And so he's at two because Moe is fat and rumble.

01:15:40.000 All right.

01:15:42.620 School shooter, we see you.

01:15:44.380 Or school scooter.

01:15:45.500 School scooter, we see you.

01:15:46.840 He was the first one to say the Chris joke.

01:15:49.200 Okay.

01:15:50.340 All right.

01:15:50.980 That's Don DeMarco for you, bro.

01:15:52.440 Yeah.

01:15:52.820 All right.

01:15:53.680 Someone said two because I watched After Hours.

01:15:55.940 Two because Chris is a fat bum.

01:15:58.020 Yo, man.

01:15:58.680 All right.

01:15:58.960 He said two.

01:15:59.760 Be continued.

01:16:00.560 Yeah.

01:16:01.860 All right.

01:16:02.440 Cool.

01:16:07.280 All right.

01:16:08.020 Hey, yo, W chat.

01:16:09.260 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:09.860 All the funny members.

01:16:10.440 I'll see you guys in the chat.

01:16:12.420 All right.

01:16:13.060 Let's keep going with the documentary.

01:16:14.320 But that's how a control delivery typically works, guys.

01:16:16.500 Okay?

01:16:17.880 And you can obviously involve other agencies as well when you do these control deliveries.

01:16:22.340 So.

01:16:25.600 To attract the attention of thousands of drug dealers and buyers, but also politicians like

01:16:31.220 Senator Chuck Schumer, who called for the site to be shut down.

01:16:34.120 The U.S. government was concerned, but not only about drug sales.

01:16:38.040 As Nick Bilton detailed in his book, American Kingpin, Homeland Security agent Duryagian feared that a terrorist organization could enter the country and then buy something from Silk Road to harm Americans.

01:16:48.860 He convinced the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago to take on the case.

01:16:53.040 As Silk Road came into the spotlight, Ulbricht's college friend, Richard, who helped him with programming, said he urged him to shut it down.

01:16:59.180 I'm giving you a little bit more sauce.

01:17:01.420 Also, guys, I need you guys to like the video because we only got 869 likes.

01:17:05.280 I'm giving you guys.

01:17:05.900 I'll just explain to you guys what a control delivery is.

01:17:07.540 99% of people on YouTube can't explain that to you because they've never done one.

01:17:10.240 I've done one.

01:17:11.180 I've done multiple, actually, control deliveries.

01:17:12.720 The other thing I want to say also, guys, is notice how he said he had to go to the U.S. attorney's office and convince them to take the case.

01:17:20.920 I said this before.

01:17:21.780 I want to one more time for all the new viewers.

01:17:24.040 Federal prosecutors, guys, are divas a lot of times.

01:17:26.120 They don't have to take every case that comes across their desk.

01:17:28.060 This is why the feds almost never lose because the AUSAs, Assistant United States Attorneys, by the way, not to be confused with Assistant District Attorneys, ADAs, which are their federal counterparts.

01:17:38.220 AUSAs have the privilege of taking on cases that they want to take.

01:17:41.660 They don't have to take on cases, all cases.

01:17:43.880 They only take on the ones that they want that they feel that they can win, okay?

01:17:46.620 So with that said, he obviously had to go in there and say, look, I've identified this or this online website that is transporting drugs, et cetera.

01:17:54.020 This is a national security risk because they can go ahead and traffic other things outside of drugs, you know, exploitation of children, weapons, et cetera, and this can be a problem.

01:18:03.640 So we need you guys to take the case.

01:18:05.020 And I ended up, luckily, the U.S. attorney ended up taking a case.

01:18:07.340 But I say all that, guys, because I've been in those boardrooms with, you know, me, my supervisor, and my ASAC, and then I'm sitting across from the U.S. attorney and, you know, two or three of his best AUSAs, and I'm talking to them about a case.

01:18:20.840 And I'm like, look, we need you guys to do X, Y, Z, because a lot of the times the United States Attorney's Office, they don't want to take cases that they're not 100% sure that they're going to win.

01:18:28.680 They only take cases that they know that they're going to win.

01:18:30.300 This is why the feds never lose, right?

01:18:31.860 They might say something like, oh, just give it to the state or we're not interested, blah, blah, blah.

01:18:35.500 They absolutely have the right of refusal.

01:18:37.300 So obviously this agent had to go ahead and convince the U.S. attorney's office to take the case.

01:18:42.500 But I just wanted to make sure that we highlight that because a lot of people think that the feds take every single case that comes across their table.

01:18:49.200 The answer is no, they actually don't.

01:18:50.900 They take a very small percentage of cases.

01:18:52.840 The average AUSA in the United States only carries about 15 cases, guys, versus if you take the average ADA in a major city, they have hundreds of cases.

01:19:00.060 Why? They're dealing with DUIs, they're dealing with everything, you know, they're dealing with fucking a stupid disorderly conduct case all the way up to murder, right?

01:19:07.300 Because the state has a wide array of crimes that they could prosecute, and local police are making way more arrests than federal agents.

01:19:14.260 So that is why their case backlogged, the state is almost always way more backlogged than the feds are, okay?

01:19:20.500 Typically they don't want to allocate federal resources to small level crimes.

01:19:24.120 They only typically go after felonies, not misdemeanors, okay?

01:19:27.480 All right, let's continue on.

01:19:31.120 Give me one in the chat if that made sense for y'all as far as, like, prosecutorial discretion.

01:19:35.420 This is one of those more educational podcasts today, my friends.

01:19:38.400 Want to make sure that y'all get it, but let's keep going with it.

01:19:40.200 Bills, please.

01:19:42.640 Ulbricht and his girlfriend Julia broke up soon after the launch of Silk Road.

01:19:46.780 She said one of the reasons was because of the insane pressure she felt to keep his secret.

01:19:51.840 Ulbricht lied to her and Richard, telling them he had sold the business to someone else

01:19:55.860 and no longer had anything to do with it.

01:19:58.180 He moved to Australia for a while and lived with a sister in Sydney.

01:20:01.960 Around this time, he was contacted through the site by a person going by the name Variety Jones.

01:20:07.140 Variety Jones became his right-hand man and someone Ulbricht described as a real mentor.

01:20:12.520 Neither knew the other's true identity.

01:20:15.080 Variety Jones pointed out the gaping holes in security on Silk Road.

01:20:19.020 Ulbricht decided to encrypt all the files on his computer.

01:20:22.120 This is the actual laptop he used to run Silk Road.

01:20:24.700 He put in a kill switch that would automatically shut down his device by pressing a predetermined key

01:20:29.920 in case authorities rushed in at the last minute.

01:20:33.000 He also prepared an escape plan if needed, including destroy laptop, hard drive,

01:20:38.060 find a place to live on Craigslist for cash with a new identity.

01:20:41.680 Variety Jones came up with Ulbricht's infamous pseudonym on Silk Road, Dread Pirate Roberts,

01:20:47.400 a reference to the fearsome captains from the film The Princess Bride,

01:20:50.940 who passed the name on to a chosen successor.

01:20:53.000 In the same way, Ulbricht hoped to one day pass on the name Dread Pirate Roberts to someone who might succeed him.

01:21:00.040 Variety Jones got him to see how big Silk Road could grow to be.

01:21:04.340 Ulbricht wrote in a personal journal disclosed by prosecutors,

01:21:07.900 Silk Road is going to become a phenomenon,

01:21:10.220 and at least one person will tell me about it, unknowing that I was its creator.

01:21:14.640 In two short years, Silk Road grew to more than 100,000 users with sales of nearly 214 million,

01:21:21.940 including 13.2 million in commissions for Silk Road, according to prosecutors.

01:21:26.820 The feds were left scratching their heads as they still had no clue who was the mastermind behind Silk Road.

01:21:32.240 Who was this Dread Pirate Roberts?

01:21:33.960 Who was the captain of the ship?

01:21:36.800 It became somewhat of a competition amongst the various government agencies to be the one to identify Dread Pirate Roberts.

01:21:42.840 To better understand how Silk Road operated, Department of Homeland Security agent Duryegian posed as a buyer and made 52 undercover purchases.

01:21:51.480 He also seized thousands of packages, linked certain sales back to their source, and arrested several people.

01:21:57.480 His biggest get came.

01:21:59.000 And by linking those packages, he did control deliveries to do so,

01:22:02.460 and then as far as doing undercover purchases, guys,

01:22:06.000 this probably was a big case, so they probably had an undercover program,

01:22:11.000 and they were getting funds, right, through the treasury, whatever it may be,

01:22:14.660 to do these undercover buys, and each of those things that they get,

01:22:17.440 it's a piece of evidence that they obviously keep for the investigation.

01:22:21.620 Do we have any chats?

01:22:23.180 Yeah.

01:22:23.680 Okay, let's hit some of these chats, and then we'll keep going.

01:22:28.860 Give me one second.

01:22:29.720 Guys, also do me a favor, man.

01:22:31.400 Like the video, guys, because we got 1,800 of y'all in here, man.

01:22:34.640 You guys could be anywhere else in the world, but you're here with us on Fed Reacts, man, which we appreciate.

01:22:38.080 Please like the video.

01:22:38.880 Let's hit 1,500 likes if we can.

01:22:41.000 Uh, W1811, why change the name?

01:22:48.160 I found FNF in the Tates a year ago.

01:22:49.740 Thanks for bringing the value, WMO, and the team.

01:22:51.980 I changed the name because it was easier to find Fed Reacts than Fed at 1811,

01:22:56.640 and then having numbers in your name isn't really a way to go,

01:23:00.360 and very few people know that 1811 is the job series code for special agents.

01:23:03.440 So I said, you know what, it's going to make it a little bit more easier for people to find.

01:23:06.360 Um, and then also, whenever people search Fed it, they get, like, Reddit links.

01:23:11.520 So that's another reason, too.

01:23:12.480 It was harder to find a channel.

01:23:13.460 It was a shadow band, too.

01:23:14.160 Yeah.

01:23:15.020 Uh, Trump Gaines 2024.

01:23:56.180 It doesn't matter what you think.

01:23:58.560 What?

01:23:58.720 When did I denied being a nerd?

01:24:00.480 I'm confused.

01:24:02.420 All right.

01:24:03.640 It must be new here.

01:25:34.700 In case you guys didn't know.

01:25:36.020 Yeah.

01:25:36.360 They know.

01:25:36.860 They definitely know.

01:25:39.920 Dude's name is Goku Sandals, okay?

01:25:42.760 Myron, it's awesome you're nerding out about Overwatch and play McCree.

01:25:46.640 Do an Overwatch Fed React stream explaining the case on why they changed McCree's name to Cassidy.

01:25:52.100 I don't know why they changed it to Cassidy.

01:25:53.620 Did they change it to Cassidy?

01:25:54.780 They did change it to Cassidy.

01:25:56.320 Oh, my God.

01:25:58.280 What?

01:25:59.000 Bro, I still call him fucking McCree.

01:26:00.780 That's what I thought.

01:26:01.440 I thought it was still McCree.

01:26:02.540 Damn, bro.

01:26:02.960 That's how, damn, that's how behind I am.

01:26:06.460 I didn't even, because I was looking for, like, I was on the internet yesterday.

01:26:08.980 I was, like, looking for new McCree footage, like, to see how people play him nowadays, because

01:26:12.640 obviously, you know, I played him a certain way when I was playing Overwatch back in the

01:26:16.960 day.

01:26:17.100 You know, I'd, obviously, a good McCree, right, is a mid, you're playing mid-rage, you're staying

01:26:22.360 around your healers, you're protecting your healers, so when a flanker or some shit like

01:26:25.180 that tries to come in, you flashbang, headshot those motherfuckers and kill them, right? 0.99

01:26:28.640 Because if you, you know, a headshot is 140 points damage.

01:26:32.340 Two headshots, pretty much you're killing everybody in the game, except for, like, tanks.

01:26:35.660 So, um, so, yeah, I, I, uh, hmm, interesting, no wonder I couldn't find him.

01:26:42.040 They call him Cassidy.

01:26:42.740 I wonder why they did that.

01:26:44.120 Someone in the chat, can y'all tell me why they changed his name to Cassidy?

01:26:46.740 That's kind of weird.

01:26:48.620 Yeah, I kind of want to know.

01:26:50.060 Watch it be for some fucking woke reason.

01:26:51.660 Probably for some woke reason.

01:26:53.860 Um, all right, let's see here.

01:26:55.680 Uh, we got, uh, Maren, did you forget about the call-in show again, sir?

01:27:00.440 Hmm.

01:27:00.760 Um, you ready to see the sun?

01:27:05.100 I don't know if we should do the full call-in show tonight.

01:27:07.160 I mean, we kind of did tell them we would do it.

01:27:08.840 Yeah, we missed it the last week.

01:27:11.200 Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.

01:27:14.640 Give me another time.

01:27:16.600 We'll do it next week.

01:27:18.380 Look.

01:27:20.020 Maren feeling nasty.

01:27:21.080 We did it Friday, though.

01:27:21.940 They had a chance.

01:27:22.800 They had a chance.

01:27:23.440 They had all night Friday.

01:27:25.360 Y'all had all night.

01:27:26.760 We did five hours.

01:27:28.680 Y'all know I could have done seven hours.

01:27:31.020 Five hours.

01:27:33.400 We had a call-in show for five hours straight, bro.

01:27:36.340 Y'all, we gon' make it happen still on the Fed Reacts, bro.

01:27:40.220 So, but, let's give it some time.

01:27:42.520 We got you.

01:27:43.840 Hmm.

01:27:47.200 Hmm.

01:27:48.260 I mean, if you ask for likes, maybe.

01:27:51.000 Yeah, if we get the likes up to 1,700, I'll open the phone lines.

01:27:54.540 There we go.

01:27:56.220 There we go.

01:27:56.820 If we get the likes up to 1,700, 1,800, what we're currently at right now, I'll open up

01:28:02.620 the phone lines.

01:28:03.560 Right now, we got 1K.

01:28:04.760 Let's see what happens.

01:28:05.560 Ooh, W-W. 0.70

01:28:07.140 2K?

01:28:08.560 2K likes?

01:28:09.540 I don't know if we can get it.

01:28:10.360 We got 1,800 watching.

01:28:11.700 If we get 1,800 likes, we get almost 100% engagement.

01:28:13.960 Oh, 1,800 likes?

01:28:14.540 Okay.

01:28:15.140 I'll open up the phone lines for you on the just.

01:28:16.960 Say, Mo, get 24 hours to like.

01:28:19.160 24 and a half.

01:28:20.080 Okay, let's see here.

01:28:20.820 What's up next?

01:28:22.180 Othon goes, I'm here at TJ Friday's working, sending emails and watching you guys, and

01:28:26.480 one of the waitresses asked me, do you watch Fresher Fit?

01:28:28.300 I'm like, of course.

01:28:28.940 She says she watches with her man.

01:28:30.800 Shout out to our black queen. 0.99

01:28:31.920 Shout out to you, bro.

01:28:32.540 And shout out to her as well.

01:28:33.480 Tell Ari said thank you for watching the show and supporting.

01:28:35.860 It always makes me very happy.

01:28:37.240 Pause when couples watch our show together.

01:28:38.980 BC better than real estate.

01:28:40.120 Even after Silk Road and FTX, Bitcoin stands strong.

01:28:44.060 Myron, invest your next mill in BTC and it will become tens of millions.

01:28:47.240 Stop being so risk averse and take some risk.

01:28:49.580 I got a few Bitcoin, my friend.

01:28:51.040 I have Bitcoin.

01:28:52.120 Trust me.

01:28:52.400 I'm in crypto.

01:28:53.920 But come on, man.

01:28:55.240 For you to say that Bitcoin is better than real estate, you're, bro, you're just not.

01:29:00.680 That's just, that's 100% not true.

01:29:03.580 You're not going to get the same tax benefits from real estate.

01:29:07.040 Sorry, from Bitcoin that you're going to get real estate.

01:29:08.760 You're not going to get the depreciation.

01:29:10.240 You're not going to get the cost segregation.

01:29:11.300 You're not going to get the cash flow with tenants.

01:29:16.520 You're not going to get the same level of write-offs.

01:29:18.900 It doesn't even come close as far as real estate when it comes to long-term holding.

01:29:25.700 Yeah, you might enjoy better appreciation with Bitcoin, assuming that it continues to go up, etc.

01:29:32.040 But if you buy real estate in the right markets, guys, all the houses I bought back in 2021, etc.,

01:29:37.300 they're all up like 100K now.

01:29:38.760 The ones I bought in Florida.

01:29:40.400 So, I mean, you can't borrow against it.

01:29:43.080 You can't get a loan from the bank, right, and only put 25% down.

01:29:46.920 You can't use leverage to acquire Bitcoin, right, at least not conventionally.

01:29:51.100 So, yeah, bro.

01:29:52.340 I mean, there's a reason why real estate has created more millionaires than any other asset class.

01:29:56.500 Now, with that said, I have Bitcoin, too.

01:29:59.080 I have crypto as well.

01:30:00.040 I think you should be in every single asset class.

01:30:01.800 But to say that crypto is better than real estate from a holistic standpoint, I disagree.

01:30:07.400 I really disagree.

01:30:08.460 Maybe it might be better from an appreciation standpoint, right, where you're going to be able to enjoy more appreciation over time because Bitcoin is more volatile.

01:30:15.840 So, you'll be able to enjoy a bit more appreciation.

01:30:17.700 But at the same time, you can get a lot of depreciation.

01:30:21.120 It could absolutely lose value as well, right?

01:30:23.100 And you don't get cash flow from cryptocurrency unless, like, you're hedging it or something like that.

01:30:27.160 And that always goes up and down.

01:30:28.420 It's not consistent income all the time.

01:30:30.300 So, I disagree with you on that one.

01:30:32.840 But crypto is absolutely a good asset class to have.

01:30:35.260 I think everyone should have cryptocurrency in today's day and age.

01:30:38.960 Elfresh, have you done controlled delivery for Cuban cigars?

01:30:42.060 If not, would they even consider it or do they have bigger fish to fry?

01:30:44.920 Excellent question.

01:30:46.200 I don't see them wasting their time on Cuban cigars doing a controlled delivery unless it was, like, a ridiculous amount.

01:30:53.560 Maybe it was a high-value target.

01:30:54.760 They already have an investigation and individuals that they're delivering their cigars to are involved in some other criminal activity.

01:31:01.980 Maybe they're terrorists.

01:31:02.780 Maybe they're really bad people.

01:31:04.520 Then I could see that.

01:31:05.720 But the feds aren't going to do, like, a cigarette smuggling or a cigar case a lot of the times unless the individuals are really involved in some shit.

01:31:14.680 Matter of fact, go watch the episode I did.

01:31:16.420 I did an episode, guys, on a cigarette smuggling case that Hezbollah was involved in in North Carolina back in the 90s.

01:31:23.120 It was a really good breakdown.

01:31:24.480 Actually, one of my favorite episodes that I did.

01:31:26.560 Go check that out if you guys want to see a scenario where it's a case.

01:31:31.980 A scenario where a charge that normally would never be charged was applied in this case because the targets were obviously involved in some very nefarious activity.

01:31:39.960 So, yeah, go check that out, guys.

01:31:42.700 It's going to be Fed.

01:31:43.720 Just type in FedReacts Hezbollah and you guys will see it.

01:31:46.320 Keem Chilin.

01:31:47.160 Is that Border Patrol at the place where they check your car when you come in from Laredo, McAllen, Brownsville area?

01:31:53.280 No, that is CBP.

01:31:54.340 They're going to be in the blue uniforms.

01:31:55.760 Border Patrol is going to be green uniforms unless you're at a checkpoint 29 miles from the border or whatever, maybe.

01:32:01.160 Keem Chilin.

01:32:02.700 What else do we got here?

01:32:03.640 We got King Darula.

01:32:04.440 Hey, Myron, when you develop enough passive income from your assets generally, what does your active income come from?

01:32:09.280 Does it become entrepreneurial by nature or do you revert to a supervisor position?

01:32:12.960 In other words, what do you do after financial freedom?

01:32:16.480 Well, that's the key word in freedom, my friend, whatever you want.

01:32:19.180 You can continue to do your entrepreneurial ventures and keep your active income coming in.

01:32:22.500 I suggest you keep doing your entrepreneurial ventures and still continue to acquire earned income because the more earned income you get, the more you can invest into your passive income and just continue to grow that passive income to the point where you're making as much as your earned income.

01:32:39.400 But that's my goal personally.

01:32:41.400 I'm trying to get to a point where my passive income is pretty much equivalent to my earned income, and that's going to take a while.

01:32:47.740 I'm not going to lie to you all.

01:32:48.780 But that's where you want to be, guys, so that if, God forbid, something happens, you're making as much money passively as you did when you were actively working.

01:32:58.580 God forbid you get sick, you need to take time off, you need to take care of a family member or whatever it may be, you're still able to provide for the people you care about regardless of you not working.

01:33:08.600 That's the whole key of being financially free, guys, being able to do whatever you want to do and being able to be around those that you love and take care of those that you love whether you're working or not.

01:33:20.200 Anything else?

01:33:22.220 No, that's all.

01:33:22.820 No?

01:33:23.060 All right, let's get back to the documentary, man.

01:33:25.700 Like the video, guys.

01:33:26.500 Y'all want the phone lines open, y'all got to like the video.

01:33:30.220 When he tracked down a Dread Pirate Roberts employee, a moderator on Silk Road's user forums going by the name Cirrus, he forced her to hand over her account, and then he pretended to be her.

01:33:40.900 Duryegian posing as Cirrus got assignments directly from Dread Pirate Roberts. 0.99

01:33:45.480 He wasn't the only federal agent chatting with a Silk Road boss.

01:33:49.380 DEA agent Carl Force was part of a task force in Baltimore that was also investigating.

01:33:54.140 Force used the username Knob and posed as a drug dealer, originally from the Dominican Republic, who smuggled millions of dollars worth of cocaine and heroin into the U.S. every year.

01:34:04.740 He was on friendly terms with Dread Pirate Roberts, who had no idea he was speaking with a DEA agent, an agent who, in a twist of the tale, turned out to be corrupt.

01:34:14.340 So you guys see here that you've got two different agencies working the same case, and they don't even know it yet.

01:34:20.180 All right?

01:34:20.460 This is where deconfliction comes in later on, but I'll explain that.

01:34:22.680 But let's keep going so I don't interrupt.

01:34:24.060 Forrest convinced Dread Pirate Roberts to pay him $50,000 in Bitcoin by claiming he had insider information from a government employee.

01:34:36.620 When Forrest reported the conversation to the DEA, he claimed he never received any payment, when in fact, he funneled the Bitcoin into a personal account.

01:34:44.260 Oh, shit.

01:34:45.000 And believe it or not, a second agent who worked on the same Baltimore task force was also stealing.

01:34:50.660 Secret Service agent Sean Bridges.

01:34:52.540 When Silk Road customer support rep Curtis Clark Green was arrested at his home with a kilo of Coke, Bridges used Green's admin access to steal 20,000 Bitcoin from other user accounts.

01:35:03.700 Dread Pirate Roberts thought Green to be responsible for the theft.

01:35:07.080 He wanted to rough him up and got egged on by his mentor, Variety Jones.

01:35:10.320 Pause real quick.

01:35:10.880 Dread Pirate Roberts knew Green's...

01:35:12.540 Mo, do me a favor.

01:35:13.360 Can you double check and see that DEA guy force if he was an actual DEA agent or a task force officer?

01:35:17.600 I'm willing to bet he was a task force officer.

01:35:19.520 And then the other guy was a Secret Service agent.

01:35:21.000 I remember when these guys got arrested, man, it was fucking crazy because, you know, it's not often that you find corrupt 1811s.

01:35:28.640 You know, it's far and few between.

01:35:30.360 But yeah, these guys are fucking idiots, obviously, thinking that the anonymity of the Internet would have saved them.

01:35:36.280 So it is what it is.

01:35:38.060 Let's keep running it.

01:35:38.860 Real identity.

01:35:43.680 Because as a condition for being on Silk Road's payroll, staff had to hand over their government ID.

01:35:48.900 Dread Pirate Roberts turned to Knob, aka DEA agent Carl Force, to beat up Green.

01:35:54.480 Knob agreed.

01:35:55.080 However, Dread Pirate Roberts then changed his mind and messaged, can you change the order to execute rather than torture?

01:36:02.880 Dread Pirate Roberts said he had, quote, never killed a man or had one killed before.

01:36:07.240 But it is the right move in this case.

01:36:09.760 He didn't want to risk Green giving up information to the authorities, as he knew he had been arrested when he searched him up online.

01:36:15.940 Knob agreed to do the job for $80,000 in Bitcoin.

01:36:19.400 Ulbricht later received photos of a dead Green, except he wasn't really dead.

01:36:24.500 Agent 4 staged Green's death, complete with photos of him on the floor, covered in Campbell's Chicken and Stars soup.

01:36:30.900 The Dread Pirate Roberts is said to have ordered hits on five others whom he felt threatened by.

01:36:36.020 Silk Road had been prey for blackmailers and extortionists.

01:36:39.300 However, there was no proof that anyone was ever killed.

01:36:42.740 Ulbricht was never charged with murder for hire.

01:36:45.980 The government agencies were still nowhere closer to...

01:36:48.540 So we confirmed he is actually an 18-11 for DEA.

01:36:52.120 The force guy was actually a DEA agent.

01:36:54.200 So yeah, what a dummy doing this stupid shit.

01:36:56.100 Stupid!

01:36:56.540 Speaking of, you know, murder for hire or whatever.

01:37:01.920 I did a murder for hire case before.

01:37:03.760 It didn't end up coming all the way to fruition like we wanted.

01:37:07.280 But yeah, I mean, it's not uncommon for you to fake the death of the individual with blood and all the other stuff.

01:37:14.680 And then send it to the guy and say, hey, the job is done, whatever it may be, so that you can show that they're complicit in it.

01:37:19.300 So I've done a murder for hire case as well before.

01:37:21.400 And when we cover the ATF and the motorcycle gangs, you guys are going to see...

01:37:25.880 Because we haven't covered a motorcycle gang yet, have we?

01:37:28.560 No.

01:37:29.000 We haven't, but people are asking for the Waco.

01:37:31.880 The Waco.

01:37:32.360 We did Waco already.

01:37:33.640 The Waco motorcycle gang.

01:37:34.920 Oh, the Waco motorcycle thing.

01:37:36.320 Yeah.

01:37:36.500 Before we do that, I think we should cover like some big...

01:37:39.100 Because that's more advanced.

01:37:40.000 That's like...

01:37:40.780 People don't...

01:37:41.320 We need to cover one on Hell's Angels, one on Bandidos, and then we can go ahead and Mongols, all that other stuff.

01:37:45.540 Then we can go ahead and cover that one with the Waco one. 0.88

01:37:48.780 That's the one that they'd be requesting the most, though.

01:37:50.700 Okay.

01:37:51.320 All right.

01:37:53.220 Okay.

01:37:53.680 We need to do motorcycle gangs. 1.00

01:37:54.800 We haven't done that yet.

01:37:56.220 We haven't even...

01:37:57.000 Yeah.

01:37:57.240 I completely forgot that...

01:37:58.680 Damn.

01:37:59.300 Yeah.

01:37:59.720 All right.

01:37:59.920 Yeah, we haven't done that much.

01:38:01.140 Yeah, we'll do a motorcycle gang for y'all. 1.00

01:38:03.260 Because there was a really good ATF agent that went deep undercover in Hell's Angels.

01:38:07.480 I think he almost became patched in, if I'm not mistaken.

01:38:11.160 The closest that a law enforcement officer ever actually comes in getting his patch.

01:38:15.360 Or did he get patched in?

01:38:17.460 Fuck.

01:38:18.300 I'll double check.

01:38:19.300 I'll double check.

01:38:19.860 He either got patched in or he was very close to being patched in with the Hell's Angels.

01:38:24.860 And he was an undercover ATF agent.

01:38:26.700 He was undercover for fucking years.

01:38:29.940 So we'll talk about that.

01:38:31.160 And definitely, I think you guys will be interested in the motorcycle gangs.

01:38:36.660 Let's go ahead.

01:38:39.880 The DEA enlisted the help of the FBI cybercrime team in New York, as it had more technological

01:38:45.240 know-how, including experience with the dark web.

01:38:48.260 FBI agent Chris Tarbell knew that in order to catch Dread Pirate Roberts, they had to

01:38:53.040 wait for them to make a mistake.

01:38:54.520 And according to the FBI, the Dread Pirate Roberts did finally slip up, about a year

01:38:59.520 after the agency started investigating.

01:39:02.120 In May 2013, investigators noticed coding errors, vulnerabilities on the Silk Road website

01:39:07.740 that leaked IP addresses.

01:39:09.720 As a result, they discovered the Silk Road servers were housed in a data center in Iceland.

01:39:14.380 By the way, Ulbricht's defense team doesn't buy this explanation.

01:39:17.620 They believe the NSA spied illegally and tipped off the FBI to the server's location.

01:39:22.240 Agent Tarbell flew to Reykjavik, where Icelandic authorities gave him a drive with information

01:39:27.460 from the servers.

01:39:28.860 The FBI accessed a treasure trove of data.

01:39:31.700 They could see the number of transactions processed, who logged in and out.

01:39:35.380 And crucially, Tarbell and his team had identified that the master computer Silk Road servers talked

01:39:39.960 to.

01:39:40.520 The one Dread Pirate Roberts used to log into Silk Road was named Frosty.

01:39:44.700 Oh shit.

01:39:45.160 And Dread Pirate Roberts was logging in with an encryption key that ended with Frosty at Frosty.

01:39:50.520 They could also tell Dread Pirate Roberts recently used internet from a San Francisco cafe

01:39:54.580 to log into a Silk Road server via a VPN.

01:39:58.040 By the spring of 2012, Ulbricht had returned home from Australia and eventually moved to San Francisco

01:40:03.060 to live with a childhood friend.

01:40:05.060 So now, the FBI had the name of the computer and could focus their search on San Francisco.

01:40:09.600 But still, no idea of Dread Pirate Roberts' real identity.

01:40:14.020 That piece of the puzzle would be filled in by Gary Alford, who worked for the IRS, the

01:40:18.680 Internal Revenue Service.

01:40:20.280 As a tax investigator, he was assigned to follow the mutton, but instead discovered the identity.

01:40:25.200 So you guys can see here that all these different agencies are investigating the same website

01:40:29.560 and kind of coming at it from different angles based on their authority.

01:40:32.920 You got the DEA involved because they're selling drugs on the website.

01:40:35.520 You got HSI involved because they're shipping in illegal substances from foreign countries.

01:40:41.060 You have the FBI involved because there's computer hacking.

01:40:46.520 And then IRS now because obviously there's money that's coming in that isn't being taxed, right?

01:40:51.680 And there's a financial aspect to the investigation.

01:40:54.240 So you can see all these different agencies are working the same case, probably at this point

01:40:57.960 unbeknownst to each other, and hitting it from different angles based on their respective

01:41:02.760 authorities.

01:41:03.460 Interesting stuff.

01:41:04.200 None of them knew about each other?

01:41:05.760 They probably found that at some point.

01:41:07.780 And there's something called deconfliction, where you can figure stuff out like that.

01:41:11.700 But even early on, I know they eventually would find out that they're all working on the

01:41:16.480 same thing with each other, but they didn't know, like, hey, IRS and DEA and FBI is all

01:41:26.440 working on this too.

01:41:27.580 Yeah, there's ways to deconflict.

01:41:29.720 But, I mean, it's happened before where you'll be doing a case.

01:41:32.920 And this is why it's happened, because there's been blue on blues where they'll be at a raid

01:41:35.980 and they'll go in and they didn't know that there was an undercover from another agency

01:41:38.440 there.

01:41:38.980 So there's deconfliction now, where if you have a target, you put them into this thing,

01:41:43.660 right?

01:41:43.880 This, like, website or whatever.

01:41:45.100 Like, it's a law enforcement website.

01:41:46.180 You put your target in there, and then if anyone else searches that guy, you're going to get

01:41:49.900 notified and they're going to call you, and then they'll put you in touch with that agent

01:41:52.440 so you guys can talk.

01:41:53.240 And this is to avoid blue on blue incidents where law enforcement ends up, you know, doing

01:41:57.140 a raid or some shit like that, and they didn't know that there's an undercover from another

01:41:59.860 agency working it, so they can kind of, like, coordinate and make sure that they kind

01:42:03.560 of get on the same page.

01:42:04.360 Because it's happened before.

01:42:06.100 It's called deconfliction.

01:42:07.240 Guys, I like the goddamn video.

01:42:08.500 Anybody going to be able to explain that to y'all?

01:42:10.580 And like it on Rumble too, guys.

01:42:11.920 There's only 300 likes on Rumble.

01:42:13.740 Yeah, I like the video, damn it.

01:42:15.440 All right.

01:42:15.820 Especially...

01:42:16.820 What?

01:42:17.720 What's up?

01:42:18.600 Especially because I'm thinking about, you know, when you explain how these agencies,

01:42:23.160 they have to be communicating and working with each other, especially since the 9-11

01:42:27.900 incident in 2001.

01:42:30.380 Some of them do, but some of them don't do it, right?

01:42:34.480 Some agencies do what?

01:42:35.480 Like, they prefer not to work together.

01:42:38.120 Yes.

01:42:38.360 To get the credit.

01:42:39.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:42:40.120 Some agencies, yeah, they don't, they have very bad, like, it always comes down to the

01:42:44.500 agent level.

01:42:45.180 You know, there's always going to be good and bad agents no matter what agency they work

01:42:49.020 for.

01:42:49.300 But yeah, some agencies just have certain reputations, unfortunately, where they don't, they're just

01:42:52.860 not good to work with.

01:42:53.820 You know, the Bureau notoriously has, you know, issues working with others because they kind

01:42:58.340 of think that they're elitist and shit like that.

01:42:59.840 DEA never likes to share information because for the longest time they had a blood culture 0.73

01:43:03.800 of having competitive 13s, which I've explained that on other episodes.

01:43:06.600 I don't want to bore you guys with details, but it has to do with pay and how they rise

01:43:10.020 up the ranks in DEA.

01:43:10.980 It's weird.

01:43:12.580 So every agency has their pluses and negatives.

01:43:16.140 But yeah, but deconfliction is typically how you identify that you guys are investigating

01:43:21.700 the same target, which in this case, since it's an online case, they don't know who he

01:43:24.980 is yet.

01:43:26.500 So anything else?

01:43:28.120 But you can also put in websites in there.

01:43:30.000 You could put, you could put in names, phone numbers, addresses.

01:43:34.880 You could put all these things into deconfliction.

01:43:36.520 And then if any of them match, they will call you and say, yo, this agent from XYZ office

01:43:41.120 and XYZ state is also looking at XYZ license plate, XYZ phone number, whatever.

01:43:46.920 And they'll put you guys together.

01:43:48.040 And then you guys can go ahead and deconflict because that's very important from a safety

01:43:51.640 perspective.

01:43:52.780 Yeah.

01:43:53.500 So.

01:43:54.040 Yeah.

01:43:54.220 I was, that's why I was questioning the communication.

01:43:56.340 Yeah.

01:43:56.880 Because like they're supposed to be communicating.

01:43:58.500 Yeah.

01:43:58.840 Yeah.

01:43:59.040 Yeah.

01:43:59.280 Yeah.

01:43:59.460 And a lot of it is for safety reasons.

01:44:01.360 It doesn't obligate you to share your information if you don't want to, but it at least puts

01:44:06.300 you in touch with someone else that's looking at the same guy to avoid blue on blue, which

01:44:09.860 is the biggest reason why they do it.

01:44:11.840 Deconfliction.

01:44:12.300 It's called.

01:44:14.040 All right, let's do it.

01:44:15.320 And every agency has access to deconfliction, state, local, municipal, federal, all of us,

01:44:20.560 city police.

01:44:21.120 They all do it.

01:44:22.080 Because remember, there's investigators at all different levels.

01:44:23.800 Of Dread Pirate Roberts.

01:44:29.040 Alfred figured that whoever started Silk Road would have had to drum up interest in it long

01:44:33.200 before that Gawker article came out.

01:44:35.420 So he decided to do Google searches for Silk Road prior to June 2011.

01:44:39.820 That's when he stumbled on Ulbrich's online posts where he pretended to be someone who

01:44:43.360 happened to come across Silk Road.

01:44:45.480 Alfred noted the username for the posts, Altoid.

01:44:48.340 He also noticed another post where Altoid asked for IT help on the Bitcoin forum that

01:44:53.340 also included his personal email, rossalbricht at gmail.com.

01:44:58.060 Someone with a username Altoid also posted on Stack Overflow with a question related to

01:45:02.740 Tor.

01:45:03.580 Soon after, that user changed the alias from Altoid to Frosty.

01:45:09.000 Alfred didn't know the significance of the name Frosty at the time.

01:45:12.140 But what he did have was a real name to track down.

01:45:15.680 He googled Ross Ulbrich and came across the LinkedIn profile of a young man with rather

01:45:20.120 cryptic life goals.

01:45:22.000 Quote,

01:45:22.380 The most widespread and systemic use of force is amongst institutions and governments.

01:45:27.120 So this is my current point of effort.

01:45:29.440 Alfred asked himself, could Ross Ulbrich be the brains behind Silk Road?

01:45:34.180 Bam, they got him, I deed.

01:45:35.100 Then came another piece of the puzzle.

01:45:36.640 In July 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted nine fake IDs coming into

01:45:43.000 the U.S. from Canada.

01:45:44.860 Okay, test for the audience.

01:46:13.840 Let's do a poll, Bills.

01:46:16.800 On YouTube.

01:46:17.920 Blue or green?

01:46:18.780 What color is a CPP officer's uniform?

01:46:21.760 I explained that earlier.

01:46:23.320 And you guys just saw that a bunch of IDs were seized at the border.

01:46:28.360 What color is a Border Patrol?

01:46:30.460 No, CPP officer's uniform.

01:46:33.440 Yeah, let's see what they say on...

01:48:45.680 Bro, y'all know damn well it's red, bro.

01:48:58.020 I mean, if you look for border costume...

01:49:00.740 No.

01:49:01.980 Costume border patrol, it's going to be green.

01:49:05.140 But I think Martin said CBP, right?

01:49:10.400 Yeah.

01:49:10.960 I'm pretty sure it's blue.

01:49:13.140 Pretty sure.

01:49:15.260 Yeah.

01:49:15.480 Oh, God.

01:49:53.920 Border Patrol is green.

01:49:54.820 CBP officers are blue, guys.

01:49:56.380 Okay?

01:49:57.020 Damn, I nailed it.

01:49:58.660 I said it.

01:50:01.780 Wait, so it wasn't red?

01:50:03.580 It wasn't red.

01:50:04.380 No, it was not red, Mo.

01:50:05.140 All right.

01:50:06.140 Okay, let's see here.

01:50:07.320 What do we got?

01:50:08.180 Let's keep going with the documentary.

01:50:11.600 Got it.

01:50:12.060 It wasn't brown sugar either?

01:50:14.420 This guy.

01:50:17.380 Let's go ahead.

01:50:18.040 Security agents decided to pay a visit to the intended recipient.

01:50:25.700 They showed up at 2260 15th Avenue in San Francisco.

01:50:29.440 The address for Ulbricht had been staying.

01:50:30.940 Oh, that's it?

01:50:31.460 Okay, that's...

01:50:32.000 Okay, I was going to say we can Google it.

01:50:33.140 And into a sublet he found on Craigslist, where he paid his rent in cash.

01:50:37.740 He took every precaution, including adopting a fake identity.

01:50:41.300 His roommates knew him as Joshua Terry, though he kept much of his backstory the same.

01:50:45.880 He said he was from Texas, worked in IT, which is why he was always...

01:50:49.380 I wonder if that was actually the idea that he had, because that looks like a picture he will take with somebody, and they cut it out.

01:50:56.920 Yeah, maybe.

01:50:59.040 I don't know.

01:50:59.740 That's a good question.

01:51:01.100 But what I will say, though, as far as having a backstory or whatever, that's very common,

01:51:04.960 where you typically don't want your backstory to be far off like your real story,

01:51:09.300 so that whenever you're under duress or whatever, you're able to tell the same story every single time, and it's accurate.

01:51:16.000 So that's actually very common with undercover agents, etc., that their backstory is fairly similar to their real story.

01:51:23.500 So that you don't have to...

01:51:24.460 Because you know what they say, whenever you lie, you can never lie once.

01:51:27.460 You want to minimize the lying, so that even in times of duress, you're able to...

01:51:30.620 The stories match up.

01:51:32.200 You've got to keep up with the lie, yeah.

01:51:33.380 Yeah.

01:51:34.180 So, all right, let's keep going.

01:51:37.200 ...on his computer, and had recently returned home from Australia, which made not having a cell phone less suspicious.

01:51:43.260 Joshua kept to himself, and ate steak dinners for one.

01:51:47.540 When the agents questioned Ulbricht, they observed that he became visibly nervous.

01:51:52.100 He didn't admit to purchasing the fake IDs, let alone that he bought them so he could rent additional servers to deal with Silk Road's growth, as well as security issues.

01:52:00.580 Prosecutors later claimed he prepared for a life on the run, including seeking citizenship on the island of Dominica.

01:52:06.000 Ulbricht volunteered to the agents who showed up at his door that, hypothetically, anyone could purchase anything they wanted on a site called Silk Road.

01:52:14.540 The agents had never heard of Silk Road, and were apparently unaware of any federal investigations.

01:52:19.920 But they did document the incident.

01:52:22.040 So when IRS agent Gary Alford ran another search on Ulbricht, he found that Homeland Security file on the fake IDs, which cemented his belief that they had the right guy.

01:52:30.840 And there you go.

01:52:31.520 The pieces of the puzzle.

01:52:33.380 And that is probably what led to the deconfliction, which they identified, hey, he's a part of this case.

01:52:38.280 And then, bam, HSI and IRS start working the case together.

01:52:41.940 What are the likes at?

01:52:43.100 We can end the poll, by the way.

01:52:45.100 1,200.

01:52:46.340 1,200?

01:52:47.220 Goddamn, I guess y'all really don't want us to turn on the phone lines.

01:52:49.260 They don't want to see the sun with us?

01:52:50.440 Yeah, I guess not.

01:52:52.700 All right, let's keep going.

01:52:55.080 And Dominica is a Creole-speaking Caribbean country.

01:52:59.420 Ah, okay.

01:53:00.040 How far is it from Haiti?

01:53:02.640 Pretty far.

01:53:03.280 It's more like south, a little closer to Venezuela.

01:53:07.620 It's a little closer to Venezuela, so closer to South America.

01:53:10.440 But, yeah.

01:53:10.980 On the island?

01:53:11.900 Yeah.

01:53:12.220 Are they like, do they look black?

01:53:13.760 Do they look Hispanic?

01:53:14.100 Yeah, they look more black. 0.96

01:53:15.640 Yeah, black. 0.95

01:53:15.920 They look more black. 0.98

01:53:16.500 And the official language is Creole?

01:53:18.320 Yes, yes.

01:53:19.480 Dominica Creole.

01:53:20.320 Are they a sovereign nation or are they like a territory?

01:53:23.140 I know it used to be one of those French-owned countries.

01:53:26.960 Yeah, let's look it up.

01:53:27.600 Yeah, all the people on the islands are black.

01:53:29.700 Okay.

01:53:30.300 All right.

01:53:30.700 I wonder if it's like a Haitian territory or another country's territory.

01:53:36.080 Let's see.

01:53:38.160 We can go back, Bill.

01:53:39.160 We can keep going.

01:53:40.740 I'm all come with the answer.

01:53:41.400 We can go back, Bill.

01:53:42.400 We can go back, Bill.

01:53:43.440 when Alford got on the phone with the other agencies to see what they all had.

01:53:46.920 Alford mentioned the username Frosty that he had found on a forum.

01:53:50.580 That floored FBI agent Tarbell who knew Frosty to be the name of the computer

01:53:55.320 Dread Pirate Roberts used. Bingo. They knew Ross Ulbricht was Dread Pirate

01:54:00.480 Roberts. In their pursuit of evidence, federal agents followed him everywhere.

01:54:04.800 They also had a subpoena from Gmail and noticed that whenever Dread Pirate

01:54:08.580 Roberts logged into Silk Road, Ulbricht was also signed into his Google account.

01:54:12.480 Wait. And whenever Dread Pirate Roberts logged out.

01:54:15.000 Real quick. Do you know, Myron, how hard it is to get a subpoena for a website like Gmail?

01:54:25.440 Very easy. Good question. Yeah. So with a subpoena and certain agencies can do this.

01:54:31.240 Okay. Before I go into this explanation. Chat. I'm gonna ask the chat if they want me to go into it.

01:54:38.280 Because I've explained it before, but I don't know if they've... I don't want to be sound redundant.

01:54:41.880 If you guys want me to go over the difference between a subpoena and a search warrant, give

01:54:47.400 me a one in the chat. If you guys want us to just continue, give me a two. Because I could

01:54:50.440 obviously have this conversation with Angie on the side. So guys, one in the chat if you

01:54:54.840 guys want me to go over the difference between subpoenas and search warrants or two if you

01:54:59.280 guys want me to just keep going. Because I think I've explained this before and I don't

01:55:02.400 want to put y'all to sleep. But let's see what the chat says. And it's been independent since

01:55:07.120 1978. Okay. Independent country? Yeah. Okay. But it's still a Caribbean country.

01:55:12.640 They kind of talk like that. It's mostly two and rumble. Mostly... Let's do a poll on YouTube,

01:55:28.160 I guess. Type in explain subpoenas and search warrants or move on bills is the chat thing. We'll

01:55:35.840 give the people what they want. Give it a minute. But while we wait for y'all to go ahead and vote

01:55:39.600 on this... You can like the video. You guys can go ahead and like the video. Subscribe to the

01:56:15.920 Were you posting one reel today or how are you doing it? I can't remember if I posted today,

01:56:20.720 but I'm making... It's just that the ones that I usually post or the TikToks, I don't like updated,

01:56:27.760 so I'm trying to make new ones. Oh, shout out to the person that is helping me out,

01:56:32.960 that DM me on the Instagram and told me how to download them on high quality. And yeah,

01:56:46.160 by the way. Ding. Press the ding. Thanks, Mo. Okay. How's the poll? 70% are saying yes. Let's see what

01:56:57.040 what Rumble says. Rumble, one, if you guys want me to explain subpoenas and search warrants or two,

01:57:02.400 if you want us to keep going.

01:57:06.800 Damn. Okay. 70% on YouTube say yes. Let's see what Rumble says.

01:57:11.680 Because we're pretty much split down the middle right now on Rumble and on YouTube. Shout out to

01:57:16.160 all y'all ninjas, by the way, man, that are watching on Rumble and on YouTube. Guys, if you don't mind,

01:57:20.080 if you're watching on Rumble, open up another tab and like the video on YouTube because the likes

01:57:24.640 are really important for YouTube, right? To get pushed in the algorithm. Uh, so let's see.

01:57:30.240 Yeah, it's mostly, I see it's like 50% on Rumble with, with the twos. Um,

01:57:38.640 yeah, 50% I would say. Yeah. All right. Since it's a small mind, it's a small difference. I'll explain it

01:57:45.440 very quickly. Guys, subpoenas are administrative. Um, search warrants are, um, pretty much more

01:57:50.800 official, right? It's a judicial process. So, well, they're both judicial processes from a legal

01:57:55.360 perspective, but the search warrant is, is an enforcement action versus in a subpoena is

01:58:00.160 administrative action. Okay. So when you do a subpoena, certain agencies have the ability to do

01:58:04.640 admin subpoenas, HSI, um, DEA and FBI have the authority to send an administrative subpoena. What

01:58:10.560 does that mean? Hey, I identify this phone number. I identify an email address. I identify

01:58:15.760 maybe a username on a, on a website. I'm able to send a subpoena to that company and say,

01:58:21.600 I need to know who the subscriber is of this phone number of this email address, et cetera.

01:58:25.440 And they are obligated to give me that information. Okay. But here's the problem with subpoenas though.

01:58:30.480 When you send a subpoena, the company reserves the right. A lot of the times to notify the subscriber

01:58:36.720 that they gave their information to a federal agency. Okay. So like everyone is different, like Facebook,

01:58:42.480 Google, whatever it may be, they might give you maybe a grace period of 30 days,

01:58:45.760 60 days, 90 days where they're going to go ahead and notify the individual that the federal

01:58:50.240 government, you requested a subpoena on their account. Now, if you do a search warrant, not

01:58:55.680 only are you going to get subscriber information, you're going to get like actual usage on the

01:58:59.520 account, everything, right? So if I do a search warrant on, let's say someone's Instagram,

01:59:03.680 I'll get the DMS. I'll get the, I'll get, I'll get everything that I requested for in a search

01:59:08.000 warrant. But obviously you need way more evidence. You need probable cause to be able to do a search

01:59:12.000 one on someone's Instagram or on their, um, on their email, whatever it may be. Right. And then

01:59:17.600 if you want to get the emails real time and get the emails as they're coming in, then you need

01:59:20.880 something called a title three, which is like a phone tap. Okay. Anything when you're getting

01:59:24.400 information real time is considered a title three. Uh, but I don't want to go into that. Cause that's a

01:59:27.920 whole other thing. I've explained title threes before in this podcast, but regardless,

01:59:30.960 that is, that is the main difference between subpoenas and search warrants, search warrants,

01:59:35.920 you're getting it approved by a judge. Okay. And it's typically an, it's typically a for

01:59:39.880 enforcement action. Okay. Versus a subpoena as an administrative action. And you're just basically

01:59:45.520 giving, you know, a sheet of paper saying, Hey, under this authority, we have the authority to send a

01:59:49.720 subpoena to you and you are to give us a subscriber information, but it's limited information a lot of

01:59:53.320 times, but it'll give you a lot of times the probable cause that you need for a search warrant. So let's

01:59:57.880 say I identify an email. Now, now let me give it to you guys in a practical scenario. So this all

02:00:01.920 makes sense. Okay. Let's go into a dream scenario real quick. Um, thank you. Let's say I'm investigating

02:00:08.340 a criminal, right? Maybe they're a drug trafficker. Right. And I figure out that their email address

02:00:12.540 is, um, Myron Gaines sells drugs. One, two, three, right. At AOL.com. Right. Or Yahoo.com. Right.

02:00:21.700 And I'm right. And I'm like, I wonder who this individual is. This email address came up during the

02:00:25.980 course of my investigation. I do an administrative subpoena. When I do the administrative subpoena,

02:00:30.240 it gives me back the name of the individual, right? That owns that. And it gives his phone

02:00:36.040 number, right? I looked through my investigation. I figured out, Oh, my informant called this phone

02:00:41.400 number to get drugs before. So now I'm going to start writing a search warrant for that email

02:00:45.300 address to go through the actual contents of the email because I have probable cause now because

02:00:49.200 I've identified the phone number as part of being involved in drug transactions. And I suspect that

02:00:54.000 this individual is involved in drug trafficking activities. So that subpoena allowed me to

02:00:59.080 further the investigation, identify the individual through a phone number. Now that I have the phone

02:01:03.080 number identified, that number has come up in other parts of my investigation. And I can now write a

02:01:07.200 search warrant. I go to the judge with this information. I want a search warrant on the email,

02:01:11.160 et cetera. And now I'm able to go ahead and get this information. And that's a very surface level,

02:01:16.560 watered down version of how you can advance the investigation. But that's the difference between

02:01:19.120 a search warrant, guys, and a subpoena.

02:01:24.200 Yeah, what's the other question?

02:01:26.360 Well, does the subpoena cover, does the subpoena cover like all the way through just the email?

02:01:31.620 Or can you get that far to get like the information from the user of the phone number? For example,

02:01:40.060 if the user... I know what you're saying.

02:01:42.740 ...use like a fake name to create the email...

02:01:45.260 You're going to get the fake name and that's it. If you do a subpoena, all you're going to do is get

02:01:48.940 the name that was put on file with it. The fake name, the phone number, whatever information

02:01:53.480 they use to sign up for the account. And you're going to get a lot of times just the subscriber

02:01:56.160 info, surface level stuff. That's lame though. Maybe an address here or there, but the search

02:02:00.920 warrant is going to give you everything. You'll be able to be way more invasive with the search

02:02:05.120 warrant. But sometimes doing the subpoena will like kind of wedge the door open a little bit

02:02:09.280 so you can kind of see what's going on there. And then you can, that will give you more

02:02:12.460 probable costs to write a search warrant. So that's why it's easy to get a subpoena than

02:02:15.100 a search warrant. A subpoena is administrative. So you can go ahead and just send one to like,

02:02:19.320 it was easy. I had like a subpoena form. I would write it up to AT&T. Hey, I need the

02:02:24.920 subscriber for XYZ phone number. And then they will tell me who the subscriber was for that

02:02:28.320 phone number. A lot of times it'd be a name, phone number and an address. Okay. And then

02:02:32.420 sometimes it's fake. It's a PO box or whatever, but that will at least guide you to it. Then

02:02:36.160 you can figure out, okay, it's under a PO box. Then I figure out, I do, I send a subpoena

02:02:39.900 to that PO box. Who owns this PO box? Oh, you know, Cindy Lucia. Okay. Who's Cindy Lucia?

02:02:47.800 Look up her driver's license. Oh, that's my target's girlfriend. See how you can like use 1.00

02:02:52.740 it to figure shit out. But you got to get like a bunch of subpoenas though. Yeah, exactly.

02:02:56.420 It's really annoying. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It is a pain in the ass, but that's, that's how

02:02:59.180 you do it. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Guys. Marco for that. Yeah. Yeah. Seriously. Cause I could tell

02:03:06.500 you guys this from experience cause this is what I used to do, man. So like the goddamn video.

02:03:09.200 Good questions, Angie. Uh, let's keep going. Cause I'm sure people in the chat have similar

02:03:13.020 questions. Ulbricht also logged out of his Google account, but they knew this wouldn't

02:03:19.140 be enough to nail him. They needed concrete evidence. They had to catch Ulbricht while his

02:03:24.000 laptop was open and he was logged in on Silk Road as Dread Pirate Roberts. An unlocked computer

02:03:29.540 was also necessary so agents could access his files. This would be difficult to pull off.

02:03:35.160 Authorities knew their best bet was to catch him off guard and arrest him in a public place.

02:03:39.180 Homeland security agent, Jared Duryegian was still pretending to be Silk Road staff member

02:03:43.820 of Cirrus and continued to maintain contact with Dread Pirate Roberts. This communication

02:03:48.800 was crucial to the plan they hatched. On October 1st, 2013 at 3 0 8 PM local time, Duryegian saw

02:03:56.860 Dread Pirate Roberts log on. Ulbricht was sitting in the science fiction section of the San Francisco

02:04:02.280 Public Library's Glen Park branch. Duryegian started up a conversation with Dread Pirate Roberts while

02:04:08.180 posing as he was in the fiction section, but shit's about to get real very soon.

02:04:16.020 Fair enough. I thought it was funny. Okay. Let's keep going.

02:04:24.700 Cirrus. Hi, are you there? Hey, how are you doing? I'm okay. You? That's the HSI agent,

02:04:33.140 by the way, guys. Cirrus. Can you check out one of the flagged messages for me? The flagged messages

02:04:37.700 were in the main administrative section that only Dread Pirate Roberts could access. Dread Pirate

02:04:43.160 Roberts responded. Sure. Bam. Let me log in. Okay. You did Bitcoin exchange before you started

02:04:50.080 working for me, right? Dread Pirate Roberts asked this for security reasons because only the real

02:04:56.100 Cirrus would know the answer. Luckily for authorities, the real Cirrus had told them how to answer the

02:05:01.440 security question. Agent Duryegian hoped he recalled correctly when he typed. Yes, but just for a

02:05:07.980 little bit. It was a nerve-wracking moment. Oh, shit. Not any more than that? No. I stopped because

02:05:15.180 of reporting requirements. Damn regulators, eh? Okay. Which post? Duryegian knew Ulbricht was now

02:05:22.900 looking at an admin screen. He gave the signal to the other agents positioned in the library to make a move.

02:05:28.680 A commotion soon broke out near Ulbricht. A woman yelled,

02:05:32.400 f*** you, as the man next to her appeared like he was about to punch her. When Ulbricht turned around

02:05:36.920 to see the fight, the agent swooped in and grabbed his open laptop. At that point, Ulbricht, quote,

02:05:42.740 lunges towards the laptop and another agent walks behind him, bear hugs him. Ulbricht was arrested

02:05:48.620 and taken away. The man and woman who were arguing were in fact- And guys, they had to create that

02:05:53.800 diversion to make sure that they can grab the laptop. Because remember, he had a kill switch on

02:05:57.300 there if he were ever apprehended by police. So they had to get him away from that laptop before

02:06:02.360 anything. So that's why they created that diversion, take his attention away. And the first agent just

02:06:06.820 grabbed the laptop first before they even grabbed him. So there you go. And remember, they didn't know

02:06:11.140 what he looked like, guys. So they had to do all this. The undercover HSI agent had to, you know,

02:06:15.900 verify, yo, I'm serious, blah, blah, blah. And then once he was able to go into the admin section

02:06:19.620 that showed that it was him, he's able to give the takedown signal. The FBI holds this laptop

02:06:25.120 till this day. Oh, really? They have in the artifacts. I'm sure they have probably a part

02:06:29.760 of history now. Yeah, they probably have a museum in San Francisco for it. Yeah, certain FBI offices

02:06:34.180 have museums in their field office, which is kind of funny. San Antonio has a museum. I've been to

02:06:39.720 that one. They have a bunch of artifacts from the 9-11 too. Oh yeah, the New York field office,

02:06:44.220 for sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's very common where they'll have old pieces of evidence or

02:06:49.480 artifacts from old cases. In the FBI, in fact, for you guys, in the FBI field office in San

02:06:55.760 Antonio, they have a bunch of Tommy guns and shit like that and grenades from like the

02:06:59.100 mob wars. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. Okay. Interesting shit. Do you have any stuff like you collected?

02:07:04.880 No, I have like little trinkets and like old stuff, which you guys will see in display in

02:07:09.740 the new Fed Reacts room. Yes, you will. I see Angie are decorating it for me, so that'll

02:07:12.860 be good in the room. So you guys are going to like the new studio. It's not going to be

02:07:16.880 obviously as lit as this one, but it's going to be, you know, it'll be cool. A little different

02:07:22.200 for y'all. It'll be cute. It'll be cute and different. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't say cute.

02:07:26.160 That's kind of gay, but you know. Okay. Let's go ahead. Next. 1.00

02:07:33.160 Undercover agents who created a distraction. Ulbricht's family and friends were shocked.

02:07:39.440 How could the kind, fun, loving man they knew be the same person who ran a global drug bazaar?

02:07:44.820 They couldn't believe it. Ulbricht was indicted on seven charges, including distributing narcotics

02:07:50.640 by means of the internet and engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. He pleaded

02:07:55.620 not guilty to all charges. The trial began on January 13, 2015. That's the indictment.

02:08:01.700 It lasted three weeks. Many of Ulbricht's supporters showed up, believing a guilty verdict would be

02:08:06.860 a miscarriage of justice. Oh yeah. Ulbricht's defense attorney argues. Sorry. There is a website

02:08:11.480 that is called freeross.org. Can we pull that up on the side, guys? We could show it after we

02:08:18.160 finish the doc. Yeah. There's a bunch of people that still support him. And I think there is like

02:08:22.980 500,000 people that really... Signed a petition? Yeah. That really want him out because they don't

02:08:29.960 believe he's a murderer. There's people that believe he was a murderer because he hired people

02:08:33.640 to kill other people. And there is a bunch of conspiracy theories and rumors about this

02:08:38.480 case and about these guys. Yeah. Him and Julian Assange have huge followings for their...

02:08:44.640 Well, in Julian Assange's case is that he shouldn't be prosecuted and he shouldn't be

02:08:47.720 extradited. A judge actually recently said that he's to be transported from the United Kingdom

02:08:53.880 to the United States for extradited to face charges here. So yeah. Yeah. Crazy shit, man.

02:08:59.760 Crazy, crazy shit. Well, give me one in the chat if y'all niggas want us to cover Julian 1.00

02:09:04.140 Assange. I'm surprised that we didn't cover him yet. I think I have him on the list. I

02:09:08.240 think I have him on the list. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so Russ Ulbricht's 39 this year and he's

02:09:15.760 been in prison for like 10 years now. So yeah, he spent most of his 30s in prison. I think

02:09:22.440 he made like he even made a tweet about it. Like I spent most of my 30s in prison. I mean,

02:09:28.040 he got like two life sentences or something like that. Yeah. Life imprisonment. Yeah.

02:09:32.420 He's going to spend a lot of time there. All right. Let's see. Let's keep going. We'll

02:09:36.720 pull up the website here in a second. I've seen it. I have it up already. All right.

02:09:41.000 We'll finish and then we'll play it. He wasn't dead pirate Roberts that he had given away the

02:09:45.480 handle in Silk Road to someone else, but the jury didn't buy it. On February 5th, 2015,

02:09:51.620 a federal jury found Ross Ulbricht guilty on all seven counts. Before sentencing,

02:09:57.740 Ulbricht wrote a letter to the judge begging for a more lenient sentence. I've had my youth

02:10:02.860 and I know you must take away my middle years, but please leave me my old age. Please leave a

02:10:08.600 small light at the end of the tunnel, an excuse to stay healthy, an excuse to dream of better days

02:10:13.940 ahead, and a chance to redeem myself in the free world before I meet my maker.

02:10:18.560 On May 29, 2015, U.S. District Judge Catherine B. Forrest delivered her sentence.

02:10:27.520 You were the captain of the ship as the dread pirate Roberts, and you made your own laws,

02:10:32.420 and you enforced those laws in the manner that you saw fit. So it wasn't a world without

02:10:36.680 restriction. It wasn't a world of ultimate freedom. It was a world of laws that you created.

02:10:42.880 They were your laws. It is fictional to think of Silk Road as some place of freedom.

02:10:47.280 No drug dealer from the Bronx selling meth or heroin or crack has ever made these kinds of

02:10:52.920 arguments to the court. It is a privileged argument. It is an argument from one of privilege.

02:10:58.800 You are no better a person than any other drug dealer, and your education does not give you a

02:11:03.180 special place of privilege in our criminal justice system. It makes it less explicable why you did what

02:11:08.580 you did. There is no reason to make a choice between these two people that I see that are on display,

02:11:13.780 the Ulbricht who is the leader of the criminal enterprise, and the Ulbricht who is known and

02:11:18.520 loved. What is clear is that people are very, very complex, and you are one of them. They are made up of

02:11:24.960 many different qualities and many characteristics, with no one quality defining them. And there is good in

02:11:30.720 you, Mr. Ulbricht, I have no doubt. But there is also bad. And what you did in connection with Silk Road

02:11:36.540 was terribly destructive to our social fabric. Mr. Ulbricht, it is my judgment, delivered here,

02:11:43.400 now, on behalf of our country, that on counts two and four, you were sentenced to a period of life

02:11:48.760 imprisonment to run concurrently. On count five, you were sentenced to five years imprisonment to run

02:11:54.800 concurrently. On count six, you were sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, also concurrent. And for money

02:12:01.320 laundering in count seven, you were sentenced to 20 years, also concurrent. In the federal system,

02:12:07.180 there is no parole. And you shall serve your life in prison.

02:12:13.120 This is far beyond what the prosecution had even asked for.

02:12:17.220 Ulbricht had hoped Silk Road would become such a success that he would be famous. According to a

02:12:22.680 journal entry read by the prosecutor to the jury, Ulbricht wrote,

02:12:26.200 The FBI later identified Ulbricht's mentor, Variety Jones, as Roger Thomas Clark, a Canadian

02:12:43.300 arrested in Thailand in 2015. In 2020, Clark pled guilty in a Manhattan court to conspiring to

02:12:49.560 distribute massive quantities of narcotics. As for the two corrupt officers investigating Silk Road,

02:12:55.100 former DEA agent Carl Force was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for extortion,

02:13:00.840 money laundering, and obstruction of justice. Former Secret Service agent Sean Bridges was

02:13:05.860 sentenced to nearly six years in prison on charges of money laundering and obstruction of justice.

02:13:11.240 He was later sentenced to an additional two years for another theft of Bitcoin from the U.S.

02:13:15.960 government. This guy.

02:13:18.040 Thanks for watching. For this thing, I'm Cindy Palm.

02:13:21.900 All right.

02:13:22.420 I hope you guys enjoyed that one, man. You know, short and concise documentary on the

02:13:28.820 situation, giving you guys a bunch of tidbits in there with some knowledge, et cetera. I think

02:13:33.240 that was one of our more educational episodes of FedReacts.

02:13:36.820 I got some dots on the Silk Road.

02:13:39.820 Let's pull up the website, too, Bills.

02:13:41.020 Yeah. So it generated approximately $1.2 billion in sales and $80 million in commissions. And also on November 3rd of 2020, law enforcement seized over $1 billion worth of digital currency from this case. So that was three years ago.

02:14:00.200 And there is also something here. They actually got a person, a guy named James Ellison, a.k.a. red and white, with narcotics trafficking and money laundering offenses in connection with his sales of large quantities of narcotics on the Silk Road online marketplace. And in connection with this, he claimed that he arranged for the murder of five people for Silk Road funders.

02:14:30.200 And he was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin back then.

02:14:37.200 All right. Let's pull up this website here real fast. As you guys can see, this is, I think, the petition website to get him freed.

02:14:45.540 FreeRoss.org.

02:14:46.580 It's FreeRoss.org is what it is?

02:14:47.980 Yes.

02:14:48.400 Okay. You know, obviously, over half a million have signed to FreeRoss.

02:14:52.780 He spent 3,707 days in prison.

02:14:59.820 He got two life sentences plus 40 years without parole.

02:15:03.400 Scroll down.

02:15:05.840 Smeared with false allegations is what they're saying.

02:15:09.960 And then scroll down some more.

02:15:11.160 And then they showed the sentencing disparity, right?

02:15:13.680 You can see all the people that were Silk Road defendants that got, you know, seven years, three and a half, six years, 17 months, three years, five and a half years, 13 and a half years.

02:15:22.700 Co-owner for Roger Clark, Karl Mark, right?

02:15:26.200 Corrupt federal agent.

02:15:27.120 And obviously, Sean Bridges, you guys can see here.

02:15:29.060 And you can see the, you know, the disparity amongst all the other people.

02:15:32.820 But the thing is, is that he's the boss.

02:15:35.460 So that's why they're going to give him, punish him the hardest.

02:15:38.460 But, yeah.

02:15:39.760 And then he's serving his levity in prison.

02:15:42.560 Scroll down.

02:15:42.940 Is that a prison pick right there?

02:15:43.980 Yeah.

02:15:44.200 I guess him with a bunch of, looks like a bunch of gang members.

02:15:46.880 This the hood, ain't it?

02:15:48.280 That's interesting.

02:15:48.880 Well, this is Arizona.

02:15:49.880 So in Arizona, they, I don't think there's as much race divide as like in Texas and in California.

02:15:56.060 So he's a model prisoner, according to BOP.

02:15:59.960 What else do we got here?

02:16:02.820 So, yeah.

02:16:04.120 They're trying to get him out.

02:16:05.540 Who's that?

02:16:06.020 His mom?

02:16:06.620 Okay.

02:16:08.200 So, yep.

02:16:09.240 There we go.

02:16:09.720 That's the petition.

02:16:10.460 I mean, you know, it's up to you guys.

02:16:11.880 You guys want to sign a petition?

02:16:12.920 There's a website right there.

02:16:13.900 Like, I'm kind of in the middle with it.

02:16:16.160 You know, obviously, he did some dumb shit.

02:16:17.640 Should he even have gotten life?

02:16:18.580 No.

02:16:19.020 Absolutely not.

02:16:19.560 I don't think he should have gotten life.

02:16:20.820 Twice.

02:16:21.220 He got two lives.

02:16:21.740 Yeah.

02:16:22.500 So I think that's a little wild for him to get life.

02:16:24.240 I think that's a very hard punishment for nonviolent offenses.

02:16:27.840 But the way that they're looking at it is he facilitated the ability for violent drug offenders to do what they do or violent criminals to do what they do.

02:16:36.860 Because remember, guys, the website sold a bunch of shit besides just drugs.

02:16:41.080 Are they treating me like RICO?

02:16:45.300 Almost.

02:16:46.000 With the continuing criminal enterprise statutes?

02:16:48.000 Yes.

02:16:48.280 Almost.

02:16:49.540 It's not necessarily RICO, but it's a tier right below.

02:16:52.000 But good point.

02:16:53.800 All right.

02:16:55.360 Did we hit the numbers, did we?

02:16:58.000 Damn, y'all don't want to like the video.

02:16:59.040 1.4?

02:16:59.580 I guess we're not going to see the sun.

02:17:00.720 I guess we're not going to open up the phone lines.

02:17:02.420 We gave y'all plenty of time to like the video so that we can hit the phone lines.

02:17:05.100 But it seems like you guys don't want to do it.

02:17:06.600 You was about to say see the sun.

02:17:08.100 No, I don't see the sun.

02:17:09.360 No, no, no.

02:17:09.780 But we could have been on the phone for like 30, 40 minutes.

02:17:13.040 But yeah.

02:17:17.660 But yeah, I guess these guys don't want to do it.

02:17:20.120 We only got 1.4K likes.

02:17:21.840 We told y'all, man, 1,800 likes and we would do it.

02:17:23.680 But it doesn't look like you guys want to do it, man.

02:17:25.400 We actually have 1,700 watching right now.

02:17:29.000 But we told them before when we had like 1,800.

02:17:31.180 Mario, you could do big more hours in these phone lines.

02:17:35.500 If you say so.

02:17:39.780 That's it?

02:17:43.120 All right.

02:17:43.960 Well, I hit some of the chats.

02:17:45.380 All right.

02:17:46.140 Can you put a holiday discount on your consulting price?

02:17:49.000 One hour cost for the price of what you would normally charge a half hour?

02:17:51.900 Man, you got some nerve to ask that, huh?

02:17:56.240 No, I mean, guys, it's, you know, like I said before, I got to protect my time, man.

02:18:01.200 It's not about making money.

02:18:02.460 It's about just protecting time.

02:18:03.920 Blizzard, the company that created Overwatch had internal conflict of sexual harassment and they were basically getting canceled.

02:18:09.320 McCree was the name of one of the guys that worked at the company that was accused.

02:18:13.040 So they changed it to Cassidy and Overwatch.

02:18:14.600 Oh, how do I fucking know some woke bullshit, man?

02:18:18.100 Yeah, bro.

02:18:18.840 Shout out to you, Jonad.

02:18:21.940 SEO971.

02:18:22.540 Hey, Myron, if you want a real tour of the dark web, you should look into a guy named Ryan Montgomery.

02:18:27.560 He is a white hat hacker.

02:18:29.540 A good guy that goes after pedos online.

02:18:32.040 He would make a great guest.

02:18:33.440 I think I've heard of him.

02:18:34.940 Okay.

02:18:35.160 King Derulo, Myron, when working at a specific position for the bureau and eventually you want to transfer to another position in the bureau, such as Intel Analyst, can I transfer internally or do I have to go through a manual application process?

02:18:46.380 Is there a shortcut?

02:18:47.180 You'll probably have to manually apply like everybody else, but since you're already in the bureau, it'll be a lot easier for you to transition over to agent or Intel Analyst.

02:18:53.760 Just keep in mind that you're probably going to have to go back to Quantico because Intel Analyst, I know, go to the academy for a few months and then agents go for a few months as well.

02:19:01.660 But Analyst is less than agent in training.

02:19:03.620 Owl Boys, any updates on getting the channels re-monetized?

02:19:06.480 Is it a possibility?

02:19:07.280 We'll see.

02:19:10.120 Marvin goes, you say subpoena.

02:19:12.460 I hear the sound of Blackberries being smashed by hammers.

02:19:15.560 What?

02:19:16.420 Okay.

02:19:17.160 Potato, potato, am I right?

02:19:18.580 Love blasting the pot in my custom bulldozer.

02:19:20.540 All right, Marvin.

02:19:23.020 Hi, Marvin.

02:19:23.620 Did you ever look at any of the code, statistics, and data I sent you?

02:19:26.600 I sent it before and updates during the DBZ stream.

02:19:29.100 Moreover, I can help with your engineering issues.

02:19:31.560 Blue screen, BSOD.

02:19:32.860 Where do you send it, ReDMath?

02:19:34.540 Send it to FedReacts.

02:19:35.360 Can you send it to FedReacts, bro?

02:19:36.520 Because I get too many DMs.

02:19:37.440 I'm not going to see your guys' DMs 9 out of 10 times.

02:19:39.380 They don't even show up sometimes.

02:19:40.880 So send it to FedReacts and then put, pull up his Instagram.

02:19:44.740 Sorry, not his Instagram.

02:19:45.560 Pull up his message again and put it, what in all caps?

02:19:48.820 Put stats.

02:19:50.000 Put stats in all caps when you message FedReacts, ReDMath97, so that Angie can find it and bring

02:19:55.500 it to my attention.

02:19:56.340 It'll be a lot easier for us to catch you over there than on my main Instagram, man.

02:19:59.280 I get literally hundreds of DMs a day.

02:20:01.540 I don't even look at him.

02:20:03.620 I don't have Instagram.

02:20:05.340 God damn it, bro.

02:20:06.080 God damn it.

02:20:06.880 Sneaker man.

02:20:07.760 Dude.

02:20:08.280 All right.

02:20:09.380 Message.

02:20:10.580 How could they get a hold of you?

02:20:13.580 FNSreach at gmail.com.

02:20:15.320 Oh, is the account made?

02:20:16.240 Yeah.

02:21:33.800 We got another chat.

02:21:34.620 Another one?

02:21:35.040 Okay.

02:21:36.200 FB24 goes, I work for DOD and just want to say I'm a huge fan and love this channel.

02:21:40.160 God bless.

02:21:40.520 Shout out to you, bro.

02:21:41.500 And thank you for keeping us safe over there at DOD.

02:21:43.860 That is the military, pretty much, Department of Defense.

02:21:49.760 We got one more right here.

02:21:50.840 One more?

02:22:13.100 Yeah.

02:22:13.260 Like, if you want a consultation, put a console.

02:22:15.500 For this situation here, put stats.

02:22:17.920 You'll know.

02:22:18.680 Okay?

02:22:23.480 So, we appreciate that.

02:22:25.420 Other than that, man, I guess we're going to close this thing out because you guys didn't

02:22:27.760 get the likes up like we wanted.

02:22:29.440 Check me out on Twitter, guys.

02:22:46.400 But, yeah, man.

02:23:19.920 I get extreme...

02:23:20.640 But, other than, man, we love you guys.

02:23:23.040 I get extreme anxiety when I see your Twitter, bro.

02:23:25.040 We appreciate y'all supporting the show.

02:23:27.280 For all the haters, just tune in to the beginning of the show.

02:23:29.640 I explain all the other BS drama with Angie.

02:23:32.240 You guys, we're not going to address it again.

02:23:33.340 We answered y'all questions.

02:23:34.720 You know, if people are going to analyze us that crazy, even after I've told you guys

02:23:39.540 what it is, then, hey, it is what it is, man.

02:24:10.040 John Wayne Gacy, a.k.a. the Killer Clown, okay?

02:24:12.160 One of the most prolific serial killers of all time.

02:24:14.360 Killed 33 people.

02:24:15.360 Zodiac Killer is a pseudonym of an unidentified serial killer who operated in Northern California.

02:24:19.440 All these serial killers, guys?

02:24:20.500 They really get off on getting attention from the media.

02:24:24.280 Many years, Jeffrey Epstein sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his home.
