When Cops Pull Psychological Tricks π
The speaker recounts a story about federal agents simultaneously subpoenaing all of his girlfriends and bringing them into the same room as part of a RICO investigation. He later laughs about it with a federal agent named Chris, who confirmed they found the situation amusing as well. The tactic is described as 'dirty pool' but is recounted with humor.
Summary
The speaker describes receiving a series of phone calls from multiple girlfriends in quick succession, each informing him that federal agents had just visited them and served them subpoenas to appear before a grand jury in Peoria in connection with a RICO case involving him. After the first two calls, by the third call the speaker had already figured out the pattern and preemptively asked the third girlfriend if the feds had just visited her, catching her off guard.
The federal strategy appeared to be deliberate: they served all the girlfriends simultaneously and then brought them all into the same room together. The speaker later discussed this tactic with a federal agent named Chris, apparently after enough time had passed that they could laugh about it. Chris revealed that the agents themselves found the situation comedic β colleagues were walking by the room and peering in, amused by the unusual gathering. Chris described the women as 'all stars' and noted that they were all former strippers and all the speaker's girlfriends, suggesting the agents even joked about setting up a stripper pole in the room.
