Ali Siddiq delves into a tumultuous chapter of his life involving a federal bust. Reflecting on the events leading to his arrest, Siddiq recounts a $90,000 deal gone awry, involving the transport of five kilos. His apprehension was catalyzed by an unsettling feeling and a series of suspicious signs — an unexpected police presence and odd markings on supposed cash from buyers who claimed to be from New Orleans.
