THE DRUG DEALING LIFESTYLE IS TOO ATTRACTIVE -- TOM

Many of Bermuda's homes are taken care of by drug money, former drugs
kingpin claims.

"Do you know how much drug money's taking care of families in
Bermuda?" asked Tom, who spoke on condition of anonymity. They have
these young guys who aren't doing drugs -- just watching out for the
men and getting paid.

"I'm talking bout little guys 13-year-olds down Middletown (North
Hamilton), guys up Warwick, down Backbush (Ord Road), they're
lookouts, that's how they start. Next thing you look they're holding
the package.

"Next thing you look their selling the package. Next thing, mama's
driving a new car and people wonder why he's 16 and he's calling the
shots. He's paying the bills."

Tom admitted his son has a hustler mentality even though he doesn't
sell drugs. He sees what his father does and mimics. "I needed money
for my son's tuition -- I was a bit short one time. I went to the
bank and they told me no. You know where I got the money from?
Another drug dealer. The bank told me no, a drug dealer told me yes."

He said people looked at him and saw his two houses and his children
attending a private school and thought he lived a great lifestyle.
"I've worn all the gold and the rings. I was in the barber shop one
time, had on my big chain and my Rolex. A little guy says, 'Yo! I
want to be like you'. I said 'you don't want to be like me'. I mean
what type of role model am I?"

He also mentioned that he knew of people who lived in houses
purchased by drug dealer relatives.
