WAYS, MANNER AND MEANS TO ACCOMPLISH THE CONSPIRACY
The primary purpose of the conspiracy was to make money in and through the
distribution of cocaine, cocaine base, heroin and marijuana (collectively referred to hereinafter as
“controlled substances”). The ways, manners and means by which that purpose was carried out
included, but were not limited to, the following:
1. It was a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would and did

Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Hampton in the Eastern District of Virginia
(collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Tidewater area”) and in other areas of the Eastern
District of Virginia, Atlanta, Georgia; California; Miami, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona;
Albuquerque, New Mexico; Houston, Texas; Panama, Central America and elsewhere.
2. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators
procured controlled substances from sources of supply located in Texas, Florida, Georgia,
Arizona, California, and New York.
3. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did travel and cause others to travel in interstate and foreign commerce to facilitate the
distribution of controlled substances. The defendants and conspirators would and did travel, and
would and did facilitate travel by other defendants and conspirators to and from Georgia, Texas,
Arizona, California, Florida, New York, Virginia and Panama, Central America to facilitate the
procurement, purchase, transportation, delivery and distribution of shipments of controlled
substances and would and did transport and facilitate the transportation of the controlled
substances to the Tidewater area of the Eastern District of Virginia for distribution.
4. It was further a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did derive substantial gross receipts from the distribution of controlled substances, and
5
would and did spend the money derived from the sale of controlled substances in various ways
which furthered and promoted the conspiracy.
5. It was further a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did launder proceeds from the distribution of controlled substances through various
companies and corporations set up and controlled by the defendants and conspirators. These
companies and corporations include but are not limited to: Soul Providers Management, Soul
Providers Entertainment, D & A Trucking, Soul Provider Trucking and Encore Management.
6. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did play different roles, take upon themselves different tasks and participate in the affairs of
the conspiracy through various criminal acts. The defendants and conspirators would and did
make themselves and their services available at different times throughout the conspiracy and
would participate in selected narcotics ventures and narcotics related financial transactions on an
“as needed” basis. The roles assumed and carried out by the defendants and coconspirators were
interchangeable at various times throughout the conspiracy. Some of the roles the defendants
and conspirators assumed and carried out included, among others: narcotics supplier,
leader/organizer, supervisor/manager, distributor/redistributor, broker, financier, transporter,
money launderer, money order and cashier’s check purchaser, depositor of drug proceeds, driver,
drug preparer and packager, runner, facilitator, bodyguard/escort, purchaser and provider of
handguns, enforcer, and courier for United States currency and controlled substances.
7. It was further a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did use residences, motel rooms and vehicles, to store, possess with intent to distribute and
distribute controlled substances and to store money and other proceeds derived from the
distribution of controlled substances.
6
8. It was further a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would

Ricks Court, Chesapeake, Virginia, 4728 Windemere Court, Apartment 102, Virginia Beach,
Virginia, and 333 Southgate Avenue, Virginia Beach, Virginia; and Encore Lounge nightclub
located at 1889 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Virginia Beach, Virginia, to package controlled
substances, using paraphernalia, to deliver packages of controlled substances, and to receive the
proceeds from the sales of controlled substances.
9. It was further a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did manufacture cocaine base, commonly known as “crack,” by cooking it in a variety of
ways.
10. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did use various methods to conceal the conspiracy and their unlawful drug activities to
insure the conspiracy’s continuing success. These methods include, but are not limited to the
following:
a. The defendants and conspirators would and did talk, and attempt to talk, in
code in an effort to avoid being associated with the conspiracy and to evade detection.
For instance, the defendants and conspirators rarely, if ever, uttered the words “cocaine,”
“marijuana,” “heroin,” ”crack,” “money,” “guns,” “firearms” or “cell phone” in
conversation with other defendants and coconspirators. Rather, the defendants used
coded language and referred to marijuana in terms including but not limited to: “smoke,”
“puff the magic dragon,” “buds” and “shake;” referred to cocaine as “white,” “white
sale,” and “birds;” referred to heroin as “brown” and “beige;” referred to controlled
substances generally as “folders,” and “work;” referred to money as “change;” referred to
firearms as “joints;” and referred to a cell phone as a “junk,” “joint,” “watch,” “horn,”
7
and “file.” In addition, the defendants and conspirators typically referred to monetary
amounts or drug quantities only as single numbers (e.g., $5,600 was referred to simply as
“56”) or in other unconventional terms, such as a “pound” which meant a five kilogram
quantity of cocaine.
b. The defendants and conspirators would and did evade and attempt to
evade detection by engaging in counter-surveillance.
c. The defendants and conspirators would and did change distribution
locations to evade detection and would conduct transactions secretly to avoid detection.
d. The defendants and conspirators would and did use alias names and
nicknames to hide their true identity.
e. The defendants and conspirators would and did use false addresses to hide
their true residences. For instance, ANTHONY GONZALEZ routinely provided 333
Southgate Avenue Virginia Beach, Virginia as his address to commercial airlines
ticketing personnel and law enforcement officers during the conspiracy, when, in fact,
333 Southgate Avenue is the address of E.M. and GONZALEZ has resided exclusively at
other locations during the conspiracy. CHARLES SANDERLIN caused his Virginia
driver’s license, vehicle registrations and cell phone account to list 6075 Foresttown
Drive, Norfolk, Virginia as SANDERLIN’s address, when, in fact, SANDERLIN has
resided exclusively at other locations during the conspiracy.
f. The defendants and conspirators would and did hold themselves out as
music producers, rappers, entrepreneurs, club owners, clothing designers, and other
legitimate occupations in order to conceal the true source of their income and to conceal
the conspiracy and their unlawful drug activities to insure the conspiracy’s continuing
success
8
11. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did use communication facilities in a variety of ways to further and promote the conspiracy,
including, but not limited to, the following:
a. The defendants and conspirators would and did obtain, change, and use
cellular telephones, some of which were subscribed to in nominee names, to contact other
members;

conspiracy and its members' and its associates' activities through the use of cellular

e. The defendants and conspirators would and did change/drop cellular

shared and transferred among themselves and which the defendants and conspirators used,
carried, possessed, brandished and discharged during and in relation to and in furtherance of the
conspiracy. It was further a part of the conspiracy that the defendants and conspirators would
and did use residences and open air locations adjacent to the residences to use, store, possess and
have firearms available for their use, to protect, to further, and to promote the conspiracy.
