Ever wonder how to sell $100,000 worth of drugs in a week? VICE learned the secrets of a drug dealer in NYC - a man who will deliver any substance you want, 24/7. He told them everything - from where he gets his drugs to how his crew operates.
VICE first met the dealer few months ago and after kind of earning his trust for a little while he agreed to let them hang out with him, but for a really obvious reasons, lot of the names and the places that you see in this peace are going to be withheld.
A few weeks after this interview the dealer was arrested while with his girlfriend. Three days later he was released. He still plans to get out of the game within the next few months.
He ain't gettin' out of the game, bro, you know what I'm sayin'?
This is a professional publication? They don't understand the difference between "piece" and "peace" those damn Homophones will get the uneducated every time! Lol "Speak your piece; then hold your peace. Don't restate, restate, and restate. Don't summarize if you have only written a few pages."

Joe Gallo was born and raised in Brooklyn's Red Hook section, to Mary and Umberto Gallo. Dad was a bootlegger during Prohibition and didn't discourage any of his three sons, (Joey, Larry and Albert) from following in his path. Police said the Gallo boys were partners in crime. On April 7, 1972 Joey was guest of honor at a birthday party at Umberto's Clam Bar…...a Manhattan restaurant. In between seafood courses, four men burst into the dining room and started shooting. Joey pulled his gun, but took twenty shots in the back and elbow. He staggered to the front door, stumbled outside and collapsed – pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Google the newspaper headline at 14:10 Thirty three years later we find out what really happened at Umberto's clam house - and you see the blacked out name is Joey Gallo - so the dealer is one of his sons.
haha light work. Chrysler is the typical drug dealers car. Not a smart man. Texting a dude he fronted money to that didn't pay him back? Are you retarded? Conversations like "He's at the usual spot" over the phone. NYPD on this nigaz *ss
This guy isn't the brightest. Your doing something highly illegal with the potential of MANY years in prison ... and you allow a camera crew to follow you around!?
Dude is saying he is doing 60k a week in sales, i think. You folks are looking at this all wrong. He's doing this on a retail level, so his profit % is probably pretty good, with that much in sales, 5 person crew, he's doing pretty well. i'm guessing he clears around 6k a week after cost. not a bad weeks work
something fishy about this doc, nobody making 60k a week is out in contact with end users doling out $20 sacks.
the way to a sure and early demise in the biz is to be on the move upward, you wanna be mr big well good luck with that.
still the guy does seem legit, he appears to be what they present. it goes to show there are endless angles to this kind of work, what I've experienced is probably just a tiny bit of what's going on out there, and there is a world of things each of us have yet to know about. and if we're smart don't want to.
obviously he got busted after the doc because he's been getting into felony troubles for almost 10 years and it wouldn't be hard to figure out who he is. that and what kind of car he drives, what phones he uses, the clothes he wears, relatives, everything etc.. just thought i'd say that out loud
I can't make a comment about if this guy goes through 60k a week, from how much weed he had, I'd say that's less than 4 pounds in the suitcase, which is around 20k. I think he mixes up profit with the money he gets and still restocks with.
This guy is just the mid level guy, there's a good deal of people, much older than him mind you, that make 100k a month profit that they keep, and doesn't go toward product. He's just another middle man.
wow... worst doc of the year award goes to.....
wish i could snatch that white pouch from screen to my desk.. I got 1/1000th of it left.. and smokin few grains by grains to pass time.. :( pity me
... All you guys who thought that this doc was going to be a blueprint to the game make me laugh.. What did you think, they were going to give you the DRUG DEALING FOR DUMMIES guide? Come on... The game is all about who you know, hard work, balls, and timing - just like any other legit business...In fact, I can confidently say that those who are successful in the game posses the same skill sets as those who are successful in the corporate world, they just happen to fall into that line due to circumstances and surroundings.
Vice always comes through with the fresh subject matter... However, they really should of made more of a valiant effort to cover up this guys identity if they were hoping to protect him.... I know who he is.
Good business drugs, keep banks in business, police employed, jails running, guns trade, stopped Florida from going broke, kept real estate going, cars yards open...why would they stop it???
interesting
Unless you're out there doing it, you don't know **** from the **** in your pants.
The video is called "How to Sell Drugs". There's nothing about selling drugs. $60,000 is a lot of money and if he's making that much then why is he is in a documentary?? This is more of "How to end up in Jail". Flash drugs on camera, talk figures, drive old ****** cars. In fact driving is one of the worst ways to sell drugs. Funny how he ends up in jail 3 weeks later. "Damn, I should have never made a movie about this ****!" as he's led away in handcuffs...
This is bogus and wreaks of many staged events, I think VICE got gamed on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really respect these guys.
in this piece. not peace
Your bud looks a bit tight... what is it - imported?
The real reason drugs are illegal: that cash keeps the world turning. Wachovia was fined $50m and made to surrender $110m in proven drug profits, but was shown to have inadequately monitored a staggering $376bn through the casa de cambio over four years, of which $10bn was in cash. The whistleblower in the case, an Englishman working as an anti-money laundering officer in the bank's London office, Martin Woods, was disciplined for trying to alert his superiors, and won a settlement after bringing a claim for unfair dismissal.
Very mediocre documentary at best. Sound quality is bad, lacks action, fails to show us the "secrets" of drug dealing and instead shows us a censored out jail yo-yo that lies through his teeth. $60,000 a week selling those kinds of weights? 2 out of 5 at best. 1 star for photography and the other for one drug shot. Once again these guys aren't pros.
Hope you make it to that sailboat... Im sitting on mine... smiling...
