"Money, money. Power, power. Pu**y, pu**y."
Those crude words summarised the hedonistic lifestyle which Aram Sheibani led, funded by his role in an international cocaine ring.
Sheibani, who flaunted his wealth with selfies and videos, filmed one of his acquaintances chanting those very words as they enjoyed a party on a private yacht.
It sounds like a scene from the Hollywood film the Wolf of Wall Street.
But it was reality for Sheibani, 40, and provided a snapshot into the lavish wealth and luxuries which his crimes afforded him.
The party scene had been a constant attraction for him.
He had travelled to Ibiza since the 2000s to some of the world's most famous nightclubs, often embarking on drug-fuelled parties which lasted for days at a time.
Ibiza and Los Angeles were two of his favourite destinations.
He boasted of partying with 'footballer friends' on the Balearic island, and claimed to know a Saudi prince.
In California, he spent time with a girlfriend who featured on the American version of Deal or No Deal.
Unlike the British version of the game show hosted by Noel Edmonds, models open the cash boxes.
Expensive cars, luxury accommodation, high end watches and designer clothes were all an everyday part of Sheibani's life.
He had two Bentleys - one in London and another in the US - a Range Rover in Ibiza and a Porsche Panamera and a gull wing Mercedes in Bowdon, at a plush apartment in a converted church.
Sheibani travelled the world in style, in first or business class, with Dubai and Amsterdam being some of his other favoured haunts.
He bought an apartment for £1.74 million in Kensington, London, one of the capital's most exclusive areas, and just over a mile from Kensington Palace, the official residence of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
On the walls of that apartment were artworks by some of the world's most famous artists, Golf Sale by Banksy, and Ships by Andy Warhol.
They were later found to be stolen and had been obtained illegitimately.
The apartment was full of designer items, including mink coats worth thousands. A receipt for a £2,480 Louis Vuitton rucksack paid for in cash was found there.
Sheibani had so much cash, he had bought at least 11 machines to count it all with.
Police seized more than £1m worth at his homes and in safety deposit boxes, in different currencies.
Officers have found more keys, which they believe could be for more safes which haven't been recovered.
He had bitcoin worth £136,000 at the time he first bought it, which has now soared to a value of more than £1.3m.
It wasn't just high end cars, accommodation and expensive watches which Sheibani enjoyed.
He also paid thousands of pounds for cosmetic surgery for himself and a girlfriend.
As well as having veneers and a nose job, Sheibani spent $45,000 on a hair transplant in Los Angeles.
After it proved unsuccessful, he went to Istanbul for more treatment to try and cure his premature baldness.
A dozen jurors, from every walk of life, watched on in court as Sheibani boasted of his connections with wealthy people, and of the lifestyle he led.
They took just hours to convict him of all 20 offences he was accused of, after listening to about two months worth of evidence.
"You seemed unconscious to the harm you were causing to your case by almost ridiculing the lives of the very same people were to try you," Judge Anthony Cross QC told told Sheibani, before jailing him for 37 years.
His extraordinary fall from grace came after a vast investigation, which led GMP's detectives around the world.
They doggedly pored over more than one million documents, as Sheibani tried to obfuscate and cover his tracks, even destroying evidence as officers raided his home in Bowdon, Trafford.
The judge said he was 'close to the very source of production in Columbia', and had been involved in an drug dealing network throughout Europe and the UK.
After being unmasked as an international drugs boss, his assets have been seized by police.
Now behind bars, Sheibani can only think back to that yacht party, and consider how much his life has changed since then.
Sheibani was found was guilty of five counts of obtaining a money transfer by deception; three offences of possession of criminal property; two offences of failing to comply with a notice; two offences of converting criminal property; two offences of fraud; forgery; using false instruments; conspiracy to supply controlled drugs; possession of a controlled drug of class A and perverting the course of justice.
