also if you think he does any business in the oaksterdam area drop me a PM with his info i can spread it around to my local circle and keep an eye out for this shithead.....
What do you do when someone rips you off and you know them?
- Thread starter Securityfirst
- Start date
Why don't you start by letting us all know who this fuck is???
Like p215 said, PM me if he is in SD and if so i will hook u up with some goons ha ha... i prefer to call them hitters. But there is someone filling every roll out here.
I am all for karma and keeping with the code that most of us growers respect. But once someone leaves the circle, they are out... and they get whats coming to them.
Don't feel bad about it - just go Ezekiel 25 17 on his ass. If you can't then send someone to do it. Don't be reckless, be calculated and creative but once word gets out that you are a cool cat as long as you don't get fucked with you can go on with business as usual, after changing a few things up of course.
best of luck man.

I paid 3 bikers a couple cases of beer to tune up some jackass that tried to shake me down. I used a middleman to set up a trade for an Ohaus triple beam he had, and when he showed up the bikers beat the stupid out of him while I lifted his triple beam. He got the message and moved outta town. And once word of that got out, people went out of their way to stay on my good side.

I hear you bro. I know some people like that I guess. Some bikers just did that to some other bikers right up the street from me. Their bail is 500000 yes 5 hundred thousand for assualt. California laws are scary. Ever drive past Corcoran state prison? Fuck man that place is evil.
Yes4prop215,,,,you know what im talking about,,,,,just getting sick of the bottom feeders out here. Growing good pot is a long long process and to do it well it takes 1st and foremost a group of people/friends that you can trust.
Natagonnaworrie,,,,,I hear you and I know its lame but Im not into name dropping and shit because I dont want my name dropped either. I do appreciate your advice though it makes a lot of sense.
lets just say payback is best served cold. i am a redneck and we dont take getting ripped off lightly. only once in my life have i been ripped off. a guy i dealt with didnt pay me back, but i had made like 30k off him easy . so i just cut him off, even told his friends if i found out they hooked him up i would cut them off too. anyone rips me better relocate cause their time will come. end of story. wait till october and halloween and get a costume and go to work. i still have a clown costume and a baseball player costume just in case
yeah right , bend over too. LOL
I hate people....this is why. I'm sorry SF
In one way or another, you move on. Been there many times. I really am sorry.

well it dont happen to me all the time just once. you need to step your game up.sounds like your easy pickins and the word is probably out.if you dont resolve your owed money situations it will only get worse. man up and do what needs to be done or get out of the game.Hello everyone
With all that being said if you get ripped by someone that you thought was honest and your feeling a true monetary loss from it what do you do? Ive had all kinds of people not pay me back for fronted weed, equipment or whatever. I mean it happens to everyone out here. .
Thank you for any input I appreciate it
That is the problem, you are all engaged in a possibly illegal operation. Hell, nobody on the planet is completely clean and there are even a lot of cops in jails. But the point is, you are scrwed when you partner up with the wrong people. It seems impossible to do it all yourself, but in any business you are better off without a partner. The same shit happens if you are in a legitimate business. People screw each other over because of greed. Having a spouse or girl friend can be a problem.
The key is rule number 1, and that is not practical if you are in business. After that work only with close family, but it can still happen to you. Family and friends screw each other over for money. It sucks to be a human.
You don't want to use violence because that can blow up on you a couple of ways, and any thing else you do to him he can do right back to you. Here you have people killing each other and going to jail for a little bit of money. But since it is a criminal enterprise your street cred drops if you don't react and others on the street see you as an easy mark.
You are in a mess and I am glad I am not in your shoes. I hope you find the best possible way to cope with this unfortunate circumstance. It is a lose-lose situation no matter what you do. I don't know why confronting him until he pays up is not a solution unless this guy is a total bad ass and feels no threat from you. You should have gotten that vibe some time ago. And if he feels it was owed maybe there is something you are not telling us. There's always two sides to a story.

Hey there Securityfirst,I get the feeling that you my friend are just one fuc**ng hell of a nice guy. It saddens me that people take advantage of you and your kindness. You mentioned earlier that you didn't need "another" felony. Does this POS know you had a prior and maybe knows you don't need any Leo bullshit for giving him what he really needs in life, a really really good ass whuppin for what he has done??? Plus your partner in your 4k stadium askin for all that money and you ended up moving your grow, WTF?? I say against my better judgement or anger do NOT resort to violence. You don't need to. Here is what you need to do imho...grow ALONE, you can do it bro, no more fuckin hiring folks to help you and shit seriously brother look at what these scumbags are doin to ya!! Nice guys and gals do NOT finish last!!They just find out some shit the hard way.Keep your head up friend and show us your" i'm goin it alone grow" real soon.

powerrobbie
Wait, this guy robbed you of 9 fucking p's and you know where he's at right now and your just sitting on youe ass!!? Dude I'm not one for violence but 9 pounds is quite abit and theres so many snakes out there if word gets around that someone can just jack you for 9 whole pounds and you don't do shit about it then expect it to happen a lot more....go find that motherfucker and get whats yours man...and I have heard success stories of "legal" growers calling the cops after they were ripped and the cops arrested the crooks and got the paitents weed back..or most of it atleast...not saying you should call them, fuck i know I wouldn't but I'm just throwing ideas out there.
id consider this a lesson in, stay away from people like that.
and if its a place where this is considered kinda normal, id move.
no scenery is worth that hassle and its more the big places (cities) and certain corners in them, that are this shitty.
it would take a very good reason for me to live in a big city btw. even serious cash would not move me there, unless there was a extra good reason along with it.
just the smog is not worth it.
its true, you need to beat the shit out of bullies if they attack you.
cant talk them down or joke them away, need to seriously hurt them, chrush their balls
and dont worry, they are all pussies and weak. if they are in a group, hurt the leader badly and quickly.
but this is advice for kids.
if you are a grownup and you are in such situations. you are definetly involved in illegal money.
sure, its no prob to grow weed and sell it in small towns and never get into a fight.
well, depending on the towns.
but, the bigger the game, the bigger the cash.
and in some places , people would kill you for a handful of it and we talking suitcases now.
so,and if you arent enjoying all the mess and cant handle shit like that, get out of dodge, die or become someone´s bitch.
even in smaller towns, it can be like that.
personally i would move, the extra cash is not worth all that trouble.
heh, even spending the cash in any serious way is gonna be a big job and potential trouble.
snitches, rippers, extra cop attention, risk of years in jail or even just being killed outright (lol might even be a misunderstanding)
and if you want serious retirement money, well, the more the more risk and more bullshit.
got competition? well, this competition might just want to kill you, so you need bodyguards
and you need one´s you can trust and yet control, they wont get any smart ideas.
so, you gotta be strong 100% and never show a weakness (which is seriously demanding on any health (hitler allegedly shitstormed his generals then went into his quarters and had a seizure and pissed himself (according to his secretary)
so thats talking the serious money, but if you are in a place where even just rips happen.
well, people get nervous, people get killed, even if no one planned for it.
in any case, unless you get serious about it, its mostly a shitty lifestyle till you get busted or burn out.
and if you get serious about it, well get ready to meet serious people.
lol, personally ive just watched this world from the corners.
around my parts, it was obvious that the keyplayers in this "drama" were not something you wanted in your living room.
and i would have needed to change my personality and lifestyle way too much to start playing with boys that actually enjoy hurting other people.
personally i think superviolent boys like that should be given 2-3 chances in the knowledge that they will be shot from a distance if they wont stop hurting people.
and i would say "you get 2-3 chances"
they just arent worth the pain.

I see a few things wrong here.
First, DAMN! your really only get 2k a pound out there?
Second you need to reevaluate the way you operate. This is not a business that you can afford to be mister nice guy and front the bill waiting for the other guy to do whats right. Don't buy people cars, don't give people equipment and last of all if you did don't let him disrespect you. If anyone that knows you where to read or hear this out of your mouth you better believe your going to wake up with nothing. They will take it all if you don't stand up for your self. Your mistake for letting him know so much about you. Get your shit back and lesson learned use your name always!

Hello everyone
Hope your all smoking something great today whatever strain it may be.
Being a broker/grower for the past five years has been awesome. Cant imagine doing anything else. Of course there was a point in my life where I was struggling and thought id never find my true calling. I guess everyone goes through that phase. I just remember working in offices and warehouse's and restaurants and thinking there has go to be something better than this lol. I had like 150 different payroll jobs before I moved to Cali and was introduced to growing by this chic I met on craigslist.
So anyway being a broker or grower makes you a target for two things,,police and rip off con artist people. I mean you are exposed to so many type of people in this industry especially in California. Its really expansive and out here it takes a long time to get a trusted small circle of people that you hang with or even deal with or talk to. Your dealing with bipolar growroom builders lol your dealing with youngsters looking to get their start , your dealing with psycho girlfriends, 6 ft 4 black guys and your ordinary white boys like me. My favourite aspect is the hot trimmers : ) and the men with briefcases lol
With all that being said if you get ripped by someone that you thought was honest and your feeling a true monetary loss from it what do you do? Ive had all kinds of people not pay me back for fronted weed, equipment or whatever. I mean it happens to everyone out here. God I remember a hippy stealing 30k in pot from another good friend whose wife had cancer at the time. When people see you doing good they get mad or jealous and just rip you or whatever. Usually I let it slide because im not in a situation to get in any more trouble with the law, I mean noone wants to go to jail. I'm also a very passive person and I figure what goes around comes around.
Anyway I just had a trusted employee run off with a 9 pd indoor harvest. I was very trusting with this guy , I trusted him with doing business and like you would trust a family member. I bought him a car to help him out , he did deliverys for me to make extra loot blah blah.
So growing 9 pds indoor takes a lot of effort and im feeling a big loss here , owe people money , could use the money but its gone now oh well......What would youguys do in this situation? I know where he lives who he hangs with etc...
I know its a tough question but im truly baffled why people take advantage like this when half the harvest was his anyway..
Thank you for any input I appreciate it
Ive run into situations like this a few times in my life ,
reall;y bites u in the bum ,,
i usually feel worse about the betrayal than loosing the cash ,,
but due to the sort of work we do ,
its expected that it can , and likely will happen at some point ..
again given the kinda work ,
its best to just keep moving along ,
and try to recoup the losses by working a little harder/wiser ,
karma will take care of your friend ...
I respect that bro.
As an alternative, if you do decide to eat the loss I might think it best if you were the one to relocate. If growing and selling are going to be your thing after this maybe a fresh start is in order. If you want to grow big then you need to go under the radar, then pop up when there is business to be done... and disappear.
In order to do that you are going to have to have a fair amount of resources to get a big place all on your own.
Call the cops from an anonymous caller and say you smell weed coming from dudes house.
