Full Episode
These counterfeit 20s were the Secret Service called him very low quality and he gets pulled over by Bethany, Oklahoma police. So this dumbass bonded himself out with counterfeit money.
He just bonded out on a minor charge and got himself a major charge.
The next day, the Secret Service leaves a card at his house and it says you need to contact me immediately. And bring your friend Kyle. I guess they knew that I was with them. We all got together and we didn't know what to do. And I got the idea for, I don't know why, but I said, let's go down to six flags.
They'll never know what counterfeit money is. You give them a 20 for a $2 item, you get $18 back. Right. Right.
We started noticing security following us around. We got in line for a roller coaster called the Shockwave. I got this new tattoo I'm proud of. You know the Shocker? Y'all don't know what the Shocker is? Where's Jake now? Jake's doing good. Jake-ing it up. Catching a case. He had a federal, state, local task force for him for drugs, okay? So, what happened? What did he end up getting?
Got murdered in the second degree. He got 25 years.
You started this off saying he was doing fine.
