US seizes 100 'pot-growing' houses linked to China in california

[Medfinder]

Federal agents seized more than 100 homes in one of the largest residential drug busts in US history in a bid to combat Chinese-run marijuana operations, the government said on Wednesday (April 4).

Hundreds of federal agents flooded California state capital Sacramento on Tuesday and Wednesday with local police, filing forfeiture actions against properties being used by Chinese drug traffickers.

"This was a large-scale operation, with millions of dollars coming into the US from China," Cindy Chen of the Internal Revenue Service, which was part of the raids, said in a statement from the Department of Justice.

Civil forfeiture actions were filed against more than 100 houses while agents seized more than 60,000 marijuana plants

You would think the US would be happy, considering the trade war whining lately

I thought weed was legal in Cali now? Why then?

 

[Jhhnn]

This will ripple out to their business associates so there are probably more than a few shitting themselves about now...

Gotta love the whole "threatening innocent neighborhoods" routine. Growers who do it well are probably great neighbors... I would be if that were my game...

Just a thought about the power of the printing press.

china is a world reserve currency.

how many printing presses are there?

exchanging yaun for dollars?

buying country's off there land? weapons of mass destruction would be obsolete.

Some of these grow houses were in my area. They are not good neighbors. Go back to China

ROTFLMAO.... I love the way the TV news puts the "China" spin on the bust so we all think it's awesome. If it had been anything but Russian or Chinese everyone would be bitching about the bust instead of praising it.

Gotta love the influence of the TV news. LOL

Besides, I didn't know pot was divided among races, creeds and national origin. I thought it was the peace and love drug.

Oops, 1969? No? 2018? Whoa shit.... OK, Never mind.

Here I had thought it was -people- who grew the kind weed!!

When I go looking for real property, I tend to seek homes that don't look like they have criminal intent.

Fortunately, I've had few encounters with these 'pot-growing houses.' Their tenants/residents, now, that's another thing altogether. But the houses I've encountered have, of themselves, been fairly innocent. ;^>)

Good. For a few years have been wondering how these bastids pay any price for houses. Now we know.

A wall is clearly needed to protect us from an oncoming hoard of Oriental grow houses.

I heard the gangs that brought the growers over from China told them it was legal. They were growing medical marijuana for the state.

Growing weed in a haunted house sounds kinda gnarly, zombies buds that come back to life and shit like that.

First they came for the Chinese communist potheads, and I did not speak out because I was not a Chinese communist pothead...stay tuned for chapter two
