What was said

"I left a lot of money in my safe. When I say a lot of money, like, you know, 7-figure money is in my safe and in the bank. And I got on a plane and flew. I was going through customs like, oh my gosh, they're going to not let me out of here."

Robichaux described fleeing a neighboring country to Afghanistan in 2007 after foreign intelligence pressure and operational compromise, abandoning seven figures in operational funds in his safe. He executed emergency extraction protocols and bought a one-way ticket to Dubai while experiencing severe paranoia, believing he would be arrested at customs.
