lol that’s snitching

It's actually not.

Snitching is when 2 people commit a crime, and one person works with the DA/police to implicate the other one to get a lighter sentence.


All the Greek did was send a message.

Play with us like that, we'll sabotage your whole shipment......take you off the board altogether.............and let someone else step in to take your place.


If I remember correctly, that was $20 million worth of product that they lost...........all because they thought they were paying the Greek too much for the protection he was providing to make sure their shipments got through.

Bro the Greeks had a working relationship w a crooked fed

Once in a while the Greeks give up someone in exchange for protection

The Greeks could have gone and got into some violence over their money instead they got them locked up

Business decision.

Not only did it send a message to the people who tried to get over on them.........it also sent a message to anyone else who might think about doing the same thing.

No need for violence when you've got a fed on your payroll.

They also sent a message that the money didn't mean anything to them.


Spiros wasn't really feeling it, but the Greek saw the bigger picture.
