20:39prosecution but gold doesn't perfect set up for a shakedown you said that
20:45Wells's signature was blanked out on Willie's photocopy yeah along with the
20:49part that says insufficient evidence cannot recommend for prosecution well
20:54Wells could have done that to convince his go-between that calls headed for
20:57heavy trouble unless he meets the payoff only one could have made the copy yeah
