I am confused about a few things and would like some clarification if possible . SS told his assistant to get a package . Did he tell him the amount of money? I wouldn't think he would . He told the accountant obviously . So how did the assistant know the amount of money ? I assume the accountant gave him the money but did he tell him how much ? Does not seem what an accountant would do- seems it would between him and SS. Assistant must have either counted it or knew how much it was . Also was AS porsche a stick ? Could DW drive a stick ? Sorry if this was discussed already .Thanks
I can't speak to DW's stick abilities, but I've been slightly obsessed with whether or not JW was told ahead of time he'd be picking up money or just a package. So, here is what I have gathered:
JW said that he that he thought he was picking up a package, and, indeed, in both of his texts to SS he referred to a package: one on Weds night 8:30 (I think) "Got your messages. Will let you know when I pick up the package"; and the one on Thurs at 10:26 AM "dropped off the package." (I could be off by a couple words.) AND in all the language LE used in the charging docs, JW relayed how he and SS discussed "the package."
Furthermore Fox in DC reported that JW said that he didn't know what was in the package, let alone how much money it was, until the accountant told him.
SO, if you are to take some of JW's story as true, he did not know he was picking up money, or the money was always referred to as a "package." And it would make sense that he brought a big enough bag to carry a package.
However, some WS'ers strongly believe that SS told JW he was picking up money and it needed to be delivered at God's speed (because his family's and VF's lives depended on it--not that that part would have been revealed) and so JW brought his own bank bag to pick up the money, which in his second story he put in the envelope and IMO the car.
The text to his GF implies that he shared with her that he'd be picking up money (or at the very least "thought" he'd be picking up money) but did not share with her how much, because she clearly blown away by the $40k figure.
What I infer from all this (IMO/gut/could be wrong) is that JW played dumb in his texts to SS (and probably any calls in which they spoke) to pretend he thought he was picking up a package, but, in fact, he knew he'd be picking up money. How much did the accountant tell him? We don't know.
But JW did tell NG that the money was for the dojo. And there is still some discussion over whether there WAS a plan ahead of time for SS to take out cash for the opening. All spec.
But, according to JW, he was picking up a package and the rest he learned in action.
Dunno if that helps.
