• 1:54
  Speaker 4: me and I've never seen him since. He been robbing
• 1:58

• 2:03
  Speaker 4: like me, I know a thief, you know, I know
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: who's gonna stick me up or whatever.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Usually they never stuck me up in their life.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: It's usually the guys with the bow ties and the
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: smiles in your face. And then we want to trust
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: them because they look like us, and they talk that
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Harvard shit, and they talk all that smart shit, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: they smiling at you, but they looking at you like
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: you're less sophisticated than them, And so when they talking
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: to you, they're just trying to realize what you don't know.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: That all I can rob them like that. I can
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: rob them like that. I could rob them like that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: And so my experience with accountants have been horrible. I
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: got robbed two times. The one day talking about is
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: the first time I went to jail for the guy
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: robbing me. And recently, like two years ago here in Miami,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I was a video nigga count firm. I don't even
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: want to tell you. I told you beyond the scenes,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the biggest people on earth, you know, use this account.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: So I'm thinking I'm the littlest guy there. And so
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: then I find out they robbed me for millions of dollars.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: We go through it and now we're in the same bullshit.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: But at least this time, defense is like, oh, no,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: you got robbed, yo, that's fucked up. It happened twice,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: y'all said, yeah, but I got I went to jail
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: the first time for this shit.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Call me a criminal and now you saying I'm a
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: good guy. It's the same shit said.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: So you know, we gotta be careful, and that's why
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: the financial literacy is so important.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: And also we need to be teaching this shit in.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Like schools like elementary, junior, high, high school. And so
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I tell my daughter. I tell my daughter all the time.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: She ain't with it and she ain't listening to me.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: But I tell her all the time. She was like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: what you want me to beat that? I'll be like
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: an accountant. And she's like, why, I said, I don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: want us to get robbed. No, boy, I don't want
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you to get robbed because if I die, I'm believing
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: in some shit.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't want them to rob you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: You know, my son, he's trying to be a rapper,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: He's I I said, listen, how do you tell her?
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, there's a scene.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I'm into movies, right, I'm into movies, good ones, bad ones,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: scary ones. Whenever I always learned something for movie, like
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: look at all this AI shit they've been telling us
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: this and the Terminator, right, So I take what I
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: take out of the movie. So one of my favorite
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: movies is The Godfather, right, So the Godfather knows he's
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: dying and he tells his son, Michael Coleone says, listen,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I don't care who's coming to you and.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Tries to broker the piece.

  Speaker 4: Even if they've been with you since the beginning of Earth,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: this guy's trying to set you up to get killed.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: And sure enough, once the Godfathers died, one of the
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Godfather's best friends for sixty years come and say, Michael,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I want to set up the meeting for you to
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: meet him, and they He looks at him and he says,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: oh my god, it was Bolesini all along, right, So
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you don't know. Sometimes you got the enemy with you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So I take my son and I sit him down
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: next to all his uncles, who I consider my best friends,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and I say, look, if this guy or this guy

  Speaker 6: think longevity when you're tested in those ways, right Like

• 6:07
  Speaker 6: somebody that you thought you could trust turned out to
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: be somebody that you couldn't. Now it's happened again. How
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: do you have the mental fort or two to overcome
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: unloyal people when that's all you know? Man, I got
• 6:21

  Speaker 4: somebody for this person, allegedly, and so you know, I'll
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: tell you a story. I have two biological brothers. Right
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: I was in La I couldn't be there. My mother
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: had emergency operation. They was like, she's sick, she had
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: a heart attack. They have to do a procedure. This
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: is that. And usually, even though I got older brothers,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: she would only listen to me. So this guy, who
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: is my best friend, I sent him to the hospital
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: because I'm in LA. He shows up and the doctor's like, miss,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: we got to do the procedure because your kids wanted this.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: And then she goes, no. When the guy walks in,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: she said, what do you say? She said, this is
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: my son to my best friend. Because I was so
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: tight with him. She called him her son over her sons.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: And he said, nah, Man Joe said, do the procedure.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: She went, she did the procedure. I'm just trying to
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: tell you how much of a best friend. If Fat
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Joe bought a Lamborghini, I bought him a Lamborghini.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: If I bought anything, he had anything.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: So when I go through the Texas, there's something called
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: forensic accounting. So as we looking at everything, my new
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: account looks at me and.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: He does this. He goes and I'll say, yo, what's up?
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: He was like, man.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Says, he're your best friends? Such and such's uh, he's
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: still your money. And it goes back years and look
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: at this. He's paying his kids school, he's buying his
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: cars with your accounts. But did we shared account where
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: he could just go in my accountant get whatever he want.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: We talked about loyalty, right, so.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: It broke my NOP.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I deal with death, I deal with gef. I'm real
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: good with beef for war, like street shit, I'm one
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: of the best. Right, Oh, but this type of betrayal.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I go home to my house here in Miami. My
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: wife was cooking and I've been the papers. I call
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: him over. He comes over, like, Oh, it's yourself.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: God, what's up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, it's something wrong, I said. The count said,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: you spending all my You know, you're stealing my money.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: And it is this your kid's school? Is this a
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: car for your wife? Is this trips to palace? This
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: is this with your wife and bags and Louia? This this?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: And I knew this guy for twenty five years. His
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: face just went and I start shaking the commotions like this,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I start shaking.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I couldn't even control it. That was it all the
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: real nigga shit. Don't let out the window. This is
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: your best friend.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: They just old millions of dollars and put you in jail,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: and the first thing you get to hear is your
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: best friend. When I was in jail, my wife giving
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: him ten thousand a month to make sure he don't
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: look fucked up in the streets till I get out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I'm shaking, and all I could do was scream, why why, why?
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Why why? Because I would have gave him anything.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, betrayal, it's hard when you deal
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: with loyalty, when you really put that first. If somebody
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: do that to you, you can't build the wall high
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: enough to get over that feeling. Bos his answer, he
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: ain't have to. I don't want to tell y'all what
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: he said. Okay, no, no, no, no, want to tell y'all.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Let's just say he really feared for his safety, really
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: feared for his safety, and so that's why he was screaming,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: please don't, please, don't please, don't please don't please, don't please,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: don't please, don't please don't.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: That's the loose please. And I'm like, like, that's the hook.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: And I couldn't even do it, you know, I couldn't
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: even hurt the guy loved him. I was golf other
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: to his son everything. I was just like, So we
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: just casted him off and just go somewhere else. Man,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: you can't come around here in them all. So, so
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: what's the best.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Practice is to not get taken advantage of? Because it
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: happened to you twice, like for up and coming creators,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of creatives here on the music side, art side.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: What's the best practices that you've learned to not get
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: The old school one I heard Oprah.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Winfrey, Oprah Winfrey say and call it, just said it
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: recently is sign your own checks.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: I know it's annoying. Look after your own bills.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Take out the time to look after what you spending
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: because otherwise they gonna rob you. I just don't know
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: why people can't keep their hands in their pocket. Why
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: they gotta touch the cookie jaw. But they get tempted
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: with the money all the time. And if you don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: watch it, they're gonna go. And so so now we
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: got I hope is great. But we got like three
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: of us watching this ship and then accounting, you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: so we watching and watching and watching, you know, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: uh and so that's the magic of it, you know,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: that's the magic of it.
