House in the foothills being raided by the feds today

[4Waters]

Imagine waiting 2 years to have that boat built and you finally get it then the gov takes it

That's why the government waited until today

I think Trump should give it to border patrol, mount some 50s and mini guns on it and run it up and down the Rio Grande

So do these raids usually happen by surprise, or does the guilty party usually know this is coming down the pipe.

Watched the Feds roll in to our small town several years ago. Dirt bag running the bar across the street got in trouble. Watched all their cars pull up. Jumped out and put their wind breakers on and walked in to the bar, they escorted everybody out of the bar. It was pretty crazy to watch go down. Put a bar across the door and locked it down. Sat there for a year before they let the owner who got the bar back by default on the loan.

I always wondered how a shop like them could afford the whips and toys they had, the dollars to doughnuts did not make sense to my pea brain head.

Heck just google " Jong Min Rhee " they have a ton of cases against them.

When they bought that red Skater 438 that was on the near vertical tilt back at SCFW in 2021 I could not for the life of me figure out how the business I googled "Lusso Auto Spa" could produce the income required to support a boat like that. It always seems to take a bit of time, but it normally turns out that "too good to be true" is indeed "too good to be true". Wild times in the powerboat world between this, the Wachob situation, and others in the background that Dave has alluded to.

Well, they say Cocaine is back in a big way. It is the drug of choice now I am told for all ages

 

[RIVERBORN]

You can’t make that kind of money honestly.

Exactly. Most these guys are using other peoples money. Very very rarely get this rich without lying cheating or stealing. Mostly all 3. Also what’s “legal” isn’t always moral. See it in real estate and construction all the time.

I think there are plenty of people with big money floating around, but as others have said you wouldn't know. I have a couple customers who's net worths start with a B and you'd never know it, they are genuine and don't act above anyone else. Generally, when you see crazy spending happening rapidly is when I question the authenticity of the money being actually earned.

Well like I said. Very very few get that rich without lying cheating or stealing. Maybe the billionaires u know did it honestly. Dont know them. As far as flaunting it i agree, most are the get rich type.

… Been around a couple of billionaires… did either dabble in cocaine…By rumor one yes …but truthfully, I have no idea…
… A while back I was around a younger person who may be dabbling in cocaine… The first thing I told them was if you think you’re going to snort for free by selling some …it may take you a while, but you will find out like everything else in life….nothing is for free.… Pretty expensive hobby

Oh it won’t be long now.. the guy that burned me, went to let’s call it a sister event paid zero.. bid on charity shit never picked it up or paid for it..

Just got a text tonight from a friend saying he tried to pay a sub 1k bill.. used four different credit cards and all four were declined.. Owes several other small to medium bills around town.. medium being in the 30k range.

I honestly wouldn’t have cared and hoped he would have figured out his shit and got back on top.. but when we finally got on the phone and he started screaming at me and the way that conversation went.

I’m gonna laugh when it all comes out online.

Fuck that hobbit and the horse he rode in on..

Some of this shit is absolutely insane..

Honestly I know a lot of big money guys.. none of them act this way. It’s the new big man on the spotlight syndrome where they will literally run the shit into the ground to be that guy for one more weekend.. it’s bizarre?
