weird conversation overheard in New York

During my brief layover in New York, I sat in front of Madison Square Garden and overheard the following cell phone conversation from the seedy-looking guy next to me.

“No way. I have no money right now. I just paid John $2,000 for you know what…

No, don’t cop a plea to a felony!… Why not? Because, good luck trying to get a job after that. It’ll be on your record everywhere you go… All right, fine. I hope you learn your lesson. I hope you learn your lesson.

What? [then sarcastically] Oh yeah, I get it. A porn star is allowed to receive stolen property. No problem.”

He left shortly after this. It was weird.
