Criminal Friends!

[CanWeGoForAWalk]

Hello

(Name changed)

My Husbands best friend has recently been released from prison, and I am very concerned about the amount of time they are spending together. I have taken into consideration that they are childhood friends and they haven’t seen one another for a while, but the guy in question is not the kind of company anyone would want to keep.

The majority of his friends are criminals or currently in prison, I don’t understand who would want to keep friends like that.

Now, I believe my Husband is involving himself in illegal activities, which he doesn’t need to be, because last year was a great year for him financially.

I have tried to speak to him about the situation, and he has made me feel like I am in the wrong.

Please bear in mind that we have three children together, and I’m not used to being home alone with them.

Is it just me or AIBU?

Yeah right

It must be a great cover up for his ill gotten gains though

My husband is not a danger or threat to me and our children, if I thought this I would never have had three children with him.

He has children and still wants to spend time with an 'extremely violent' criminal who has recently been released from prison?

He's a shit dad, tbh.

Bear

I attempted to reply. Is using the Cryptic word banned or something.

7 figures last year so over a million in profit is a lot. I'll gotten gains maybe.? If he gets caught then you will spend more time alone with children. I'd bin off anyone who spends time with criminals rather than partner and children.

His friends aren't the problem. If his own ability to stay within the law is so tenuous, or he's so suggestible and easily led he'd get involved with criminality because of the company he keeps, then he's your problem, because these are not the traits you want in a partner. A decent strong minded person could be friends with an ex offender (which is what his best mate is now he's served his sentence) without engaging in criminality themselves. So, why do you think your partner will offend? And do you want to live with the risk?

Asking for this thread to be closed now, this is why I don’t like posting on here.

Bye

A lot of the online drugs trade is funded via cryp-toe

If he really has earned millions in the stuff this year I'd suspect that is how

Well that’s the best news I’ve read from you! I didn’t think you were around for the money, I said you must love your husband. But please get away while you can. This level of money is not petty crime. (Which I am also not condoning) Money over a million is a dangerous game that won’t end well. I don’t think it’s a case of ‘all his friends are criminals’. I would bet my money that it’s a case of ‘DH hasn’t yet been caught’.

You really need to open your eyes, come back when you're ready to face it.

Unfortunately, I think once you're involved with these kinds of people, it's never that easy to 'get out'.
It tends to be safer for all concerned if you remain 'on the inside of things'.
As they say: 'Keep your friends close and enemies closer'.

You ask for people to tell you the truth and then you don't like it. I think you need to look at a lot more truth in your life rather than running from it.

You don't like people giving their opinions on if you are being unreasonable when you ask them if you are being unreasonable? You mentioned the criminal friends, you mentioned large amounts of money from dubious sources and then don't like the replies?

What did you want people to say?

I hope he declared his 7 figure income to HMRC.

If he's legit he would have done, if not then he's a criminal.

Ask to see his tax returns.

Op I grew up in a rough area and many of my oldest friends have criminal records. Some are still involved in crime. But for my mother, dad would have been "at it" all the time. So I know where your husband is coming from.

But there's a time when you have to grow up and look around. His mate sounds dreadful (and stupid to be honest). Sit you husband down and explain that you know their friends but how does he think you and the kids will cope if he ends up in prison or worse dead.

Tell him you don't need the money. What's the point of a flash car, if you want to go to Tesco a beat up mini will still get you there.

Ultimately it may need you to walk away and take the kids just to protect them and stop them falling into that life. If you have any doubt Google Michael Franzese who was studying to be a doctor but left when his dad got 40 years in prison...he himself severed over 10 years

Your husband is friends with criminals because he is a criminal himself. He just hasn’t been caught yet.

The only people making any money on memecoins are the scammer creating them and the celebrities that promote them.

Naive people invest and lose everything. There's absolutely no way he made over 7 figures last year.
Crypto is just not like that anymore, those days are over.

Criminals and scammers however use crypto to pay each other, so if you have seen his wallet and there is in fact 7 figures in it, it is payment for criminal activity.

I'm not sure what kind of answers you expected. Perhaps stick to Telly Addicts and Style and Beauty next time.

The online / dark net drugs trade is funded by crip-toe so if he's made a million in a year i reckon he's part of a dodgy drug dealing gang

Why did I read this as crimping trends and clicked it was about hair 😆

I have spoken to him, and he has agreed to not spend much more time with his friend, he has said that it’s almost as if he hasn’t learned his lesson, and he won’t be surprised if he ends back in prison soon and he feels as if he is beyond helping.

And for the people who said he made his money though drugs and not kriptoe, he didn’t I had access to his metamask/phantom and others and the money is legit, as I already knew.

This is the last time I’d post on here.

Has he reported it to hmrc?
