A classic case why it's best to stay a small mom/pop operation instead of trying to become a fortune 500 company.
I'll guarantee a min of a dozen outta the 16 will cop to plea's and drop dimes on others. Wouldn't want to be a part of that circle.
since when do the feebs do traffic stops .something is fishy
These type of syndicate groups are exactly what keeps more of our representatives from sponsoring Cannabis laws. The Asian syndicates bought thousands oh homes in Florida for grow houses. The law picked up on it. The media sensationalized it and the hysterics started. At the cost now of harsher cultivation laws and increased surveillance. I have no sympathy for these people. They make med users and hard working family type smokers suffer because of their greed. They can rot in prison. But I am sure most will serve light jail term and be deported.
They did do something good. Now more of NY's pot will be produced by somewhat law abiding, tax-paying individuals rather than by people who don't belong in our country. Its best to have the money 100% American so that it can be used to stimulate the economy. Luckily the medical seed seems to have been planted on the east coast.

FirstTracks: I think he is conveying the point that the income gained from the grows that were busted was intended to go back over the border. Thus never being spent inside the U.S.. Even illicit income helps stimulate the economy....dirty money buys groceries just as well as taxed. I could be wrong, but thats how I interpreted what was said by cannascholar. Peace DLB
