They Called Him a Kingpin. He Beat the Feds & Took His Life Back | Eric Geralt

They tried to define him by a case. He rewrote the verdict. Raised with morals, moving like a businessman, and hustling with strategy before he ever had the language for it — Eric Geralt lived a double life the system couldn’t see coming. Suited and booted. Briefcase in hand. And a mindset built for scale. In this raw, millennial hip-hop coded episode of Crime Pays, Ash Cash and Jay White sit down with Eric Geralt — real estate investor, speaker, podcaster, and re-entry architect — to unpack how a federal marijuana conspiracy cost him 151 months, and how he clawed six years back by out-studying the system that locked him up. This isn’t about glorifying the streets. This is about exposure, identity, strategy, and consequence. Eric breaks down: How confidence can turn into blind spots Why federal cases are a whole different beast How bad legal advice can steal years of your life What it really feels like to hear “Guilty” and be cuffed on the spot And how learning the law saved his freedom This episode is for: ✔️ People behind the wall ✔️ People coming home ✔️ Families trying to understand the system ✔️ Anyone rebuilding after a mistake Because one chapter doesn’t get to define the whole book.
