  1. “Real discovery. When Bould explained that the two prospectors were overseeing the exploration and claim staking, Friedlin lost it. This thing is being run by prospectors? They don't know what they're doing. We have to stake this thing to the horizon and claim all the land. So let me pause there, something I didn't know. So let's say you're a prospector. You want to go in the middle of wilderness, and this is happening in Canada. They have like a department of mines, like a governmental agency. You go down there, you say, hey, you look at a map with them, you place the markings on the map. Is this area staked by anybody? Has anybody else laid claim to this? You pay the government a small fee, and if you find anything, you can get the rights to the valuable resources. So that's like a basic overview of what he's talking about, what's claiming and staking, which is actually smart because the problem is what people have failed to do in the past, like say you do a good discovery, because”

  2. “Sometimes you trial and error is the best way to discover opportunities you don't even know exist. But he says galactic, we're not there yet. This is one of his pump and dumps, which winds up being a huge environmental disaster. Galactic's birth and financial evolution offer important insights into how Freelon would build his fortune. So that's why I'm bringing this up. I don't want to just tell you about there's a point to all this. And what would we become Freeland's signature promotional tactic? He distracted”

  3. “And he vigorously protested the Vietnam War. Echoing Timothy Leary's notion that drugs were an agent of change that would free the world from such stupidities as the Vietnam War, Freeland recalls. We another direct quote from him, we honestly thought that if everyone took LSD, the Vietnam War would stop. The judge sentenced Freeland to prison because he said the court is satisfied that you were the principal in this affair and that you took the role of leadership in this transaction. So that's an important part I wanted to highlight because not only is he doing that when he's selling LSD, 19, 20 years old, but he's also in every single transaction and business definitely taking the lead and he was obsessed with control or he's still alive so he is obsessed with control. According to the judge, Freeland was driven only by one motivation when he became involved in the drug sale. The judge talking to Robert now.”

  4. “By the time this stuff hits the water, 90% Do you hear me nine zero is going to be gem quality and over one carat? He gestured seaward, and the diamonds are there, just lying on the gravel, waiting for us to suck them up. Robert Freeland had won his visitors. Jean Bowl, for one, wasn't surprised. In his short year and a half with a charming American, he had learned that there was nothing Friedland could not. That was an excerpt from the book that I'm going to talk to you about today which is the big score Robert Friedlin and the Voise Bay Hustle and it was written by Jackie McNish. So this is another example of a book I didn't know existed. It was recommended to me by a listener. So let's not waste any time. Let's jump right into the book. I want to tell you something I wish I knew up front when I read it. So the title of the book.”

  5. “Investors already shunned the 43 year old mining promoter, and now he was marooned in the middle of nowhere with a handful of his remaining adherents This is an historic occasion, he began. They used to shoot people who entered the territory. Now you are part of a select group that has been allowed in. We are very proud of the company that has brought you here. In the year since Diamond Fields was founded, we have accomplished a great deal. We now have two diamond mines and the marine concession you see before you. These are the building blocks for a great major mining company. Freeland sprang to his feet and began to work the crowd, moving deftly from table to table. He quickly assumed an easy familiarity with his guest, then launched into a passionate and impressive sounding discussion of the area's diamond potential.”
