This guy is fucked

[Dial_tone]

The one year thing is what has me concerned. The only way this guy is only getting 1 year is because he's cooperating with Feds. It just doesn't make sense any other way. He really should be looking at a lot more time than just 1 year for a bust of that magnitude.

They didn't catch him with any drugs so there's no possession with intent to distribute.

Seems to me like he had money laundering problems...

To have that much cash maybe he was selling more than just gear!

That's true but money laundering and income tax evasion carry much more then 1 year.

not necessarily.

I knew of a man who had a similar thing happen to him. He was not selling steroids, it was pot, but he also had all of his assets siezed. The feds never found any of the drugs, only money. They got him on a charge called conspiracy. He is serving 8 years for his crime.

you think that's where all his problems stemmed from?

Instead of buying a 2nd house at age 24 the moron should've started a cash business like a carwash to launder the money thru.

how do they know that he used cash from his selling gear to put down on his house?
is that just a way for them to confiscate his home?

It's called "civil forfeiture" as opposed to "criminal forfeiture." The standards of proof are much,much lower for civil. It's basically an "in rem" procedure, "against the thing" -- in this case being against the houses -- rather than against the person committing the crime.

So is this Annointed or what? Who is this Roidraid character they are talking about? Is this the name the feds gave him after he was raided???? lol.
