In other news, owner operators in the marijuana industry are bashing their skulls against regulatory capture, ever rising taxes, insane legal barriers and just beginning their 5th failed startup.

“The co-conspirators imported drugs into California and drove them in 18-wheelers across the country, often concealed in household appliances like freezers.”

Thirteen individuals have been arrested: Samer Abdelhak a.k.a “Semi”, Leon Chen a.k.a “Don Eladio” …

One guess as to who of the 13 came up with the freezer scheme :sweat_smile:

Didn’t know exactly where to put this as it pertains to a lot

For those of you who aren’t in the know on it, remember when ‘stingrays’ (non-irwin killing variety) were something most privacy focused publications were talking about? Well this could maybe be used to stop that as all the Stingray is, is a box usually stuffed somewhere hidden that has an antenna attached to it that broadcasts on your cellular frequencies so your phone will automatically connect to the ‘tower’ signal it’s broadcasting and then just pass off your data to the next tower in range, thusly making it a man in the middle attack and harvesting all data that’s been sent back and fourth. If your traffic is unencrypted it is almost certainly dumped to a spreadsheet and clear as day.

Part of me thinks there are already workarounds on Stingray units by the time this drops, but hey. It would be nice if it didn’t and this functions as advertised.

He really should have taken a different route to bible study

“Florida Highway Patrol officials say the case underscores the dangers of high-speed pursuits”

Typical tone-deaf Florida. Cops in my small town were chasing a car that ran a stop sign and they hit and killed some poor innocent guy riding his bicycle to work at 6 am. Chicago pd aren’t allowed to have car chases any more, because they have racked up so many lawsuits.

seems like Insurance fraud.

I had no idea business insurance would even touch something like that! The more you know. I figured it’s one of those ‘yeah it’s legal but we could lose out on it so nah we won’t cover it’ type things because of the tenuous nature of hemp sometimes.

Ya Idk, I’d think a business that large would have some form of insurance.

Question 2 now is how long will that product be wrapped up in the legal system as evidence now? Obviously an amount that big is a make or break for a company

Worth noting that the real value is probably 1/10 of what the DOA is claiming

The whole plane trip thing is still really weird, as is letting the Chapitos families come over

Seems p obvious Chapo/Chapito set up Mayo with the plane trip, which is consistent with his lawyers’ statements, and the cross-border trip is their families getting moved into (relative) safety, probably as part of the deal
