A Queens woman linked to a deadly drug-peddling operation was caught on wiretaps bragging to a dealer that she didn’t care if one of their customers died — she just wanted to be paid first, according to court papers.

“I’m saying before he tries to kill himself, he’s going to give me some bread,” Crystal Roberts allegedly told David “Dogg” Wickham during the February phone call. “I don’t have time for that.”

Roberts, 28, is accused of laundering money for Wickham, who allegedly sold the deadly opioid fentanyl along with Katelyn Trampler between January 2017 and February 2018 across Queens. Two of their customers died of fatal overdoses in July 2017, according to court papers.

“He’s gonna end up dying. he’s gonna kill himself,” Roberts allegedly said during the same call.

“Yeah, you see it in his face?” Wickham responded.

“Yup,” she said. “You ever seen death in the face?”

It wasn’t clear if the customer they were discussing is still alive.

Wickham faces up to life behind bars if convicted on charges of distributing fentanyl, thereby causing the deaths of a man and a woman, distributing heroin and fentanyl thereby causing serious bodily injury to a man, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Trampler faces up to 40 years behind bars, while Roberts is looking at 20 years.

All three remain in custody.
