Hmmm ...
I was 'the guy' that knew where to get the stuff, and I had a small circle of other friends who were also strung out on the pills. So basically I pooled other people's dough, and made a few pills out of the deal. Typically this meant I did a lot of driving ... pick up money from a few places, drive to the man's place, then deliver their orders on my way home.
Part of the time, I was also making pretty good money. I also sold my condo for a nice $60K profit soon after I lost my job. So ... that's how that went.
