i know this was in november 2011, got greedy and instead of sticking with my regular 1 page magazine called "football" from eastern euro, was 33 cents per magazine, i got greedy, had the opportunity to get a 2 page magazine called "bars" for 22 cents, from pakistan of all places...worked several times actually in amounts of 10k and 5k magazines at a time, and i'm talking like terrible packaging (hey, let's just dump 10k bars in a plastic grocery bag and it'll be fine smh)...then one day i realized i was being followed by black suburbans and escalade EXT's...feds outside the college classes i was attending at the time. i knew my time had come so i kinda winked at them here and there. rode the bus with 18 stops on the way to school instead of driving vehicle...18 stops later the same black suburban was still behind the bus. oh shit, then i get off bus and start the 3 block walk and look to my right and see another in a parking lot facing the road behind an iron type security fence...winked at them again and gave a slight wave (i knew it was over by this point)....went to class, guess they thought i had something in my backpack or something. got home from class for about 20 minutes, never opened package. crossed out my name and put "return to sender" on package and placed it outside my apartment door with a big "?" on it. they got tired of waiting for me to open it (they had gps tracker inside parcel they intercepted in Baltimore, i was snitched on, it cleared customs with no issue but they were able to track it down and nab it) so i heard the big boom downstairs of the door being rammed in to the house that was split into 4 apartments...so i opened my door bc i did not want to have to pay for that in the end too...they ripped the pack open themselves and 5,041 bars go flying all over the hardwood floor while i was thrown down with a gun to my head. homeland security, DEA, ICE, FBI, about 26 or 27 guys total (ridiculous, i know) ripped my place to shreds, vents, ceiling fans came down, computers gone. took whatever they wanted. drove my cadillac away while i was still there and ICE transported me to the closest of two fed holding counties in the state, stayed locked up for about 6 days and signed a $50,000 security bond releasing me from custody and if i ghost on them i owe the feds $50k, so didn't want to run from it. thank god it is schedule IV narcotic and the equivalent of importing ibuprofen 800s so i did 5 years fed probation, pissed in a cup for 42 months straight and went unsupervised for the remainder...to me, it was like fire fighters doing a "planned burn". it was just practice for them for the real thing, guess they were bored or slow on work or just didn't like the pakistan thing (tensions in 2011 were high between us then)....but to sum it up, don't get greedy, stick to the script, and don't order from the middle fucking east in the middle of a war. that's all i got for y'all...it CAN happen to you as it did me. had those been opiates i would still be locked up! guess it was my unlucky day, paid 6 figures for attorney, which was split between the judge, prosecutor, etc....just don't be stupid like i was! it can happen to you if they feel like it i guess...
