His prices were much lower

than market value,

and this made it easy

to find buyers.

First time around, he sent me a

couple of powerful gaming laptops,

and I just had to sell them,

so I went on craigslist

and found a buyer.

This guy was a small-town gamer

who liked to play for money,

but I didn't care who he was.

Most importantly, he had

the cash that I needed.

I'd never made this much money

at once.

I sent Roosevelt his cut and

bought myself a new laptop.

In other words,

I was in business,

and I liked it a lot.

Roosevelt kept sending me

things, and I kept selling 'em

and making the money

that I needed.

The products were always

something simple

phones, jewelry,

watches, laptops...

- easy to carry,

easy money.

But there were other ways

of making money, too.

Forums that kept a list of

vulnerable online shopping sites,

and they were easy

to break into.

I didn't want

to cross that line,

but these companies

had insurance,

so there really

wasn't too much damage.

I pulled a few hundred credit

cards and sold them on darkweb.

I would have used these cards myself,

but I needed fake I.D.S to match them,

so I was happy to get

whatever I could for them.

Took me four years

to save up 30 grand.

This time, I did it in four

weeks, and now I was ready.

So I'll call you guys

when I get there.

Be careful.

All right.

And I'm going to be sending

you guys money every month,

so... spend some time together.

Look after each other.

I left my parents behind and

took the bus to the big city.

I wasn't sure if I'd made

the right decision,

but it was too late to go back.

It was pretty cool

to move to Toronto.

Everything was bigger.

Welcome to your new home,

Mr. Sawyer.

The building has 24-hour

security, has a shared rooftop.

There's a loading dock

around the back.

You've got all brand-new

stainless steel appliances,

floor-to-ceiling windows.

The neighborhood is absolutely

up-and-coming.

There's not much more

you could get.

Do you have any questions?

Yeah, how do I connect

to the Internet?

Unfortunately,

my payment was late,

and the university said I could

only start in January.

That meant I needed money

to live.

I'd made enough money

for Roosevelt

that he increased

my access on darkweb.

I could now buy credit card

numbers and fake I.D.S

and use 'em for online shopping.

Next station

is St. George.

- I'm expecting a package.

- Okay.

Yeah. Let me check it out.

Yeah, this should be it.

Okay.

Just sign right there.

Sure.

And there we go,

Mr. Munchausen.

Thank you.

Can you take me to Chinatown?

But things weren't so simple.

I couldn't use craigslist

to find buyers in the city.
