Anyone that has been around, knows what's true and what's not, to a degree. Jay probably did have a few hundred thousand stacked, and so did Biggs, all those guys. It was the height of the crack epidemic in the late 80's, early 90's. The game is different now, back then it was a money train, compared to now.
Jay and his team, probably lost a shipment from St Thomas, or wherever their people were, you could get them for probably under 10k, buying wholesale quantities, straight from Colombia, through traffickers in the Caribbean Even if they paid 15k, imagine 4 hustlers from BK and Harlem, at the top of their game. They put in like 250 each. Maybe Jay put in a 100. Maybe 50k, who knows? They probably went in on the load together. Sometimes the connect and the buyer split the loss. No, Jay did not personally cash out and lose 92 bricks. Say the shipment was lost, and guys lost a lot of money, and trust, so the connect says, look we have a good relationship, I'll send up 30, and you get me back. The money you turn around in just a few days, you are already back up.
I always took that line the same way you did,
@murksiderock, but reading it today, I think he meant 900k, which maybe is slightly done up, and maybe not. But, 100k is entirely believable. You never seen real drug money if you think it's not real.
