AR-AB found guilty In federal conspiracy case, faces minimum 15 years

[Hood Critic]

i know people who dont/never sold drugs.. and, have done it with much less..

That would be entirely missing the point...

I’m just saying most people don’t get in the drug game to end it living in a middle class lifestyle in Alabama lmao. Might as well just do a 9 to 5. That lifestyle ain’t hard to achieve being legit in Alabama lol.

Except MANY have done just that. You just don't hear about them. Which is exactly the point.

Some get in the drug game strictly to raise funds..
Yes you can very easily get caught up...but not everyone has dreams of living like Meech

Drug game has levels...
Being middle class has levels...

This ain't a pay day loan, you not going to sell a few drugs for 60-90 days to get caught up on your mortgage or fund this years family vacation.

What in the world are y'all talking about?

That taskforce is probably 2 recruits at Quantico that just follow him on Instagram and look up interviews on youtube. It didn't have to take genius to bring down Abdul.

I love this website man

All I know is there are people today that if they told you they used to sell drugs, will absolutely floor you. But those are the ones that went in with a specific plan n number in mind

 

[Iceson Beckford]

you could easily move to NC with 300k.. buy a nice crib.. and, start a business..

They’re forgetting ArAB is a self admitted trained plumber and already said he could have started a plumbing business alongside the home flipping he was supposedly doing.

Dude, I'm a 45yr old black man. I'm not about to do no dumb back n forth. I speak what I know. But you're free to feel different. That's cool too

Where would that 300k come from when you go to do and pay taxes that first year, if its drug money?

who would report 300k out of left field..?

also.. theres plenty of ways to wash your money.. why are yall making it seem like this is some impossible task..? theres alot more people who have/are doing this, at this very moment..

Well they'd be wondering if you moved there and bought a crib and started a business off rip, unless you meant doing this further down the line because moving there and buying a crib and business first ain't the move

Y’all don’t understand
Trappers don’t have exit plans
Only time anybody wants to give up the lifestyle is when it looks like the walls closing in
But by that time it’s already too late

i cant even believe people are questioning something like this..

hell.. AR-Ab, had plenty of properties himself.. started a record label.. people are acting like dude was just blowing money on chains, and cars..

I get it, a lot of y'all are younger and really within the last 5 years or so just got out and started taking care of yourself. Just buying and maintaining a home itself is expensive. So you all believe that someone who took the risk to make and stack illegal money is going to have the financial discipline and knowledge to live off of a lump sum of money where they'll have to supplement their lifestyle with a 9 to 5 job?

All this talk of investing and starting businesses, have any of you done either? If you have, you'll understand the expense that comes along with both and you'll know that you don't see profit or a dividend upfront with either.

Mind you, we have not even taken into account the most obvious reason why this scenario does not work - the fact that someone with little to no job history paying cash for homes and cars or trying to setup business accounts - the type of red flags that sends up unless done right and through others or holding companies.

I'ma let y'all cook because what never gets explained by the rappers, movies, or YouTube interviews is how much of an extra hassle it is to move money around and make major purchases and stay under the radar when your revenue is pure cash with no paper trail. The amount of payoffs, reliance on other people, lack of bank or credit usage, and cash storage is a nightmare.

I'm not young. I am a square, but I knew nikkas in the game, including my best friend who died in it. People who lived nice, as well as cats who stayed low and dressed bummy to stay off the cops' radar. I was simply answering the hypothetical.

There's a 99000 dollar house in Mobile. That's the "big city". You could probably get a house for half that outside the city. That's 250k to live off of, and figure out how to make money. Very possible. I personally knew people who were more than smart enough to do that. If you can manage a drug empire (outside of the 80s crack era where 16 year olds were hundred thousandaires) to where you have 300k to play with, you should know enough about business to figure something out. Hell, in Alabama, you could probably go legit, get a 9-5 and live good but not great off your earnings and cash reserves. Somewhere in the country, you could probably live 10-15 years off 300k if you had to.

You can buy thousands of dollars in crypto anonymously fairly easily
Washing money is not some super complicated process

you think a ex-drug dealers gonna move down South.. buy a huge crib, and flaunt their money without looking suspicious..?

the reason to move down South in the first place, is to lay low.. hence, modest lifestyle..

I thought that I was the one that was a square but apparently, a great majority of guys on this site are. I don't understand what's so hard to understand, they also seem to be stuck on Alabama... It can be anywhere in the south where the cost of living is low and crime rates are relatively low.
