Cruz bought a 100-acre farm in Floyd County in 1989- -to get away from
fellow Columbian drug peddlers in New York who'd threatened to kill him.
Realtor Earl Frith had listed the property and made the sale.
The two men hit it off. Before long Cruz was buying livestock from Frith.

In a conversation monitored and recorded by the I-R-S, Frith recalled how
Cruz had always paid in cash.
((HE GAVE IT TO ME. AND AT THAT TIME WE WROTE TWO RECEIPTS THAT I THINK WE

RECORD OF EVER GETTING MORE THAN $8,000 AT ONE TIME. IF I DID, I'M DUMBER THAN
I THINK I AM.))

Frith is talking to Pamela Cruz, the drug dealer's wife- -unaware that
she's wearing a wire.
She later showed up at his office with 40-thousand dollars in cash, seeking
help in getting around the requirement to report large cash transactions.
((WE COULD WRITE AN AGREEMENT WHEREBY YOU PUT LESS THAN TEN, AND LESS THAN TEN
AND A MONTH LATER, YOU KNOW, LATER SOMETHING ELSE ...OVER TIME THEY VERIFY IT,
I'VE FOUND. I'M NOT A DAMN POLICE OFFICER. THAT'S NOT MY FUNCTION. I'M NOT INTO
THAT.))
RUNS=:16
Pam Cruz had told Frith her husband got busted in Miami- -which was true-
-but she didn't say the two of them had agreed to work for the D-E-A.
Cruz transported hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Columbia to New
York- -by way of a stash house at the foot of Bent Mountain.
Shannon Wilson lived in the house and testified she made up to three
thousand dollars a trip for transporting coke.
