The thing about illegal activity is that attracts other illegal activity.
I once bought a van from a guy who offered to meet me in the Walmart parking lot, to look it over, take it to the Ford dealer to check out, and then pay him. He said the meeting place was for my convenience because his place was hard to find. The van was legit, but inbetween the time the van was inspected and a day or two later when I was to pay him, he switched out the relatively new tires for 4 bald death trap tires. The wife swore “on a stack of Bibles” they didn’t switch tires, even though I had tread measurements from the Ford dealer.
A month later the guy’s name was in the Trib Herald, arrested for cockfighting and gambling.
A year later his wife was fired from her job at a local bank for embezzling funds from a Little League account, $50,000.
