Columbia is EASILY the pussiest of the Ivies next to Harvard (Cambridge is about as soft as it gets). New Haven is one of the gnarliest hoods in New England, Dartmouth throws down, Cornell has decent frats, at Brown you don't even have to worry about grades, and Princeton's the WASPy'st school ever. On top of that you guys don't even have a lax squad, what kind of Ivy is that. Transfer and take a lap on the way.

Wait, wait wait..New Haven is more hood than Harlem..you gotta stop what you smoking

 

Yes I do realize. I also realize the police found $5000 in cash and a little drugs. Clearly that's a somewhat sizable, but still a downstream retail operation. Seeing as you come from Africa, it's weird that you find that "gangsta"...I certainly don't. Their supplier was a little more of a gangsta, trying to kidnap his competition. However, even that was wannabe..as who the fuck tries to hire a client, and a (relatively) new one at that? He also had no idea what his was doing and probably was just talking shit.

To be honest I don't find it Gangster at all, yah i'm from Africa born n raised seen a lot of shit and been through a lot as well. I was just putting it up as a joke, I always say Columbia is hood just because of us being in harlem and all the other ivies being in the burbs. But I feel you though, they should have been smarter..

 

First of all 10k in 5 months generally is a good amount of coke, especially for students to be selling. That's about 3,000 8 balls, or ~20/week.

I don't really see why we're debating how big of an operation it was. The point here, I think, is if you're smart enough to get into Columbia you should be smart enough not to get picked off.

I think you're absolutely right...just like that character who faked his way into harvard got ridiculous job offers but got caught by some transcript defect or something. I gotta give it to these kids. even though they were "paying they way through school", mad respect.

Its all about networking dude, gotta cold email all the dealers until you get the best offer. Get the WSO guide...you;ll see

Don't forget, these dudes were selling the $11k worth of drugs to officers, I would imagine that they got a lot more money from other clients. This is definitely a sizable on campus drug operation, maybe no so big for one that would run out in the streets but still.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
