Chinese Marijuana and Mortgage Cartel Busted in California!

[Skip]

Forget about the Mexican Cartels! The Chinese gangs have them beat.

It seems the Chinese have been busy pushing bogus mortgages on banks so they can buy homes to setup "cookie cutter" marijuana factories in California's Central Valley.

18 people have been indicted in this case, 51 homes were setup as grow houses in Elk Grove, Sacramento, Stockton, Lathrop, Tracy, Modesto. As many as nine of the suspects have fled to China.

This is the second set of busts of this Chinese gang. In the last one 24,200 "high potency" marijuana plants were seized worth $96 million.

I wonder if they used poisons like pesticides and shit on the buds, these criminal gangs are pretty gnarly, like the ones in the extasy crew in Canada..

[MrBomDiggitty]

Why not? All it takes is a passport. Maybe some chinese gang can fix you up with a fake one.

I hope those who fled to China do the same thing there. The Chinese need to smoke more dope!

I was detecting a blip on my sarcasmeter. Americans are well known for traversing the globe and committing crimes in the name of wealth mongering.

They had similar schemes in canada and Colorado recently that got busted. but everyone hates mexicans right now so these stories did not get much light.

all the best cowboys have Chinese eyes...


hehehe

 

[kaotic]

I'd rather have them here growing than imported mexi brick.

 

[anikas88]

actually theyre responsible for all the beasters going around, semi decent looking pot, but not cured right and cut too early, grown with cheap hydro nutes. Maybe you didnt read right, they commit mortagage fraud and then steal thousands of dollars worth of electricity every month on each house

 

[kaotic]

Or... maybe I did read right and it's my ****** opinion.

You should check out the Uk, they have it cornered

Id say 95% of large busts in the Uk are Chinese/Viatnamese Cartel Owned Grows - and massive KW usage for domestic properties e.g 50 - 60 lamps

Last week a newspaper printed some photos of a recent bust. They had some photos of the room used to dry the product - it consisted of about 10 - 15 HPS lights all switched on, below them was a floor full of skunk. It was gettin toasted, id say they dry it out in 24 hrs from plant to bag no wonder it tastes shit!!!!!!!

They even busted a regional manager a few months ago who had a diary of all his grow addresses - 19 in total!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha, i bet that hurt when they found that!!!!! lol

In the last couple years in Cali they have been crackin Vietnamese and Chinese left and right. Many houses of there's have gone down. The vietnamese gangs have been here for a while now but it got really heated in the 90's when the vietnamese gangs where pushing the vast amounts of beasters from Canada. Now they have moved shop to the states. I would say that local cali growers hate these guys. Go up into the hills anywhere in Cali and ask around. There is no love and any vietnamese gangs that move into the hills are quickly ratted out. As far as I am concerned they are taking good California's jobs!!! Grow for California and Californian's.
Peace.

So if we legalize it... then we legalize it only for Californians born in California? Is that the new mantra?

 

[hazy]

Seems that medical grows in Cali are the anti-cartel and should be encouraged.

either way they do pump out some bomb buds..
the asians always have that bomb indoor purp...
but shit is wild how they try to run shitt

The Banks probably had an idea of what was going on, but then if they stopped it, or alerted the authorities how could they give themselves their bonuses? I mean all those homes would have shown as a loss and accurately shown how much money the banks are hemorrhaging. We can't crazy Isolationists when the Asian Triads are obviously just trying to bail out the banks. Why can't they make a return on their investments?

Illegal activities make this world go round mate. The banks don't care where the money comes from as long as their mortgage payments were were paid in full and on time. That is their next argument, that legalization would cause legitimate businesses to fall, I can see it happening, Bonnie Dumbass here in SD will be one of the first retards to step up and say some dumbass(no pun intended) shit too watch...


...they will not control us....
