the lesser, you to know, the better. right. i agree. it was a game changer. was that enough to arrest him right then and there? no money had been exchanged. in new york, you need an overt act. and we had some stuff, but did not want to jump the gun on. this how are you? so they arranged another meeting. where ira bernstein would show again. he did not, but something big happened. kelly finally handed over money for the hit. so how much are we talking right now? to. a 2000 dollar deposit. nothing until you give the go ahead. he said just to be on standby. as detectives waited for ira and kelly to give the go ahead, this melodrama took a new turn. kelly added to new targets. she shows up to one of the meetings and says, it has not been committed yet, but he wants you to take care of to
