The teller mentioned as a lot on the stand.
“He was high quality. He appeared comfortable,” Ramos defined when requested to explain XXX’s demeanor.
The teller walks away from her register to retrieve the rapper’s cash. XXXTentacion takes a telephone name earlier than she returns a short while later. He ultimately will get his money and leaves.
