Summary

Sudhir attended several of regional meetings with J.T. and learned a lot about the leaders and their activities. They often discussed management problems just like a corporation executive would. Even though he feared further involvement with them, he continued to attend the gatherings. By then Sudhir had been hanging out with J.T. for six years. Sudhir felt a measure of pride that J.T. had risen in the organization but had to remind himself that J.T. was a drug dealer and a gangster. With his higher profile, J.T. like all the higher ups was more worried about being arrested, federal indictments and imprisonment. He saved as much money as he could for his mother and children.
