34 of the 35 names on the list are Muslim. I hope the feds are doing more than busting them for cigarettes and looking deeper into terror financing.

The store owners are accused of using several convenience stores that they operated to create the appearance of legal cigarette purchases.
Illegal profits form the contraband cigarette sales were laundered through accounts associated with the stores.
Synethetic drugs, K-2, was sold every day from a handful of the convenience stores. Authorities said the store owners manufactured synthetic drugs themselves by importing chemicals from China.
“The collaboration with our federal and local law enforcement partners is the key to breaking criminal enterprises in this area,” said Special Agent in Charge James M. Gibbons of HSI Chicago.
“Synthetic drugs that are sold as purportedly legal substitutes for cannabis and stimulants, such as cocaine and methamphetamine, are neither legal nor safe,” said James P. Shroba, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA St. Louis Division. “These substances were never intended for human consumption and only serve to satisfy the avarice of the seller.”
If convicted, the defendants face a maximum of five to 20 years in prison and the possibility of a $1 million dollar fine.
This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, Drug Enforcement Administration, Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Illinois State Police, Illinois Department of Revenue and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

They were taking advantage of kuffars. selling drugs not only make them boat loads of money but also creates dumb zombie infidels . More junkies less the resistance to sharia/Islam.
Nothing is too low for muslims. Did you know NATO member , Turkey allows harvesting of organs from Live refugee childrens ?

Money-laundering is the yuge thing here; they are all undoubtedly associated with the Hillary/crime family and the Pakistan RAT-lines, John Podesta, the Awan bros, etc. See the George Webb investigative journalist short Youtube videos….real eye-openers for sure; extremely informative and very interesting!

I used to know a Jewish barber who was being plied w/free, illegal, oxycodone by muslum drug dealers who used his shop to make deals. It was depressing how they took advantage of his addiction.

They will probably let them go because they are Moslems. They don’t recogonize your laws and the judge will say, oh, I didn’t know that. Sorry, let them go…..

Absolutely correct. They would say they had the “Financial emergency”. Remember the case in Austria, when 10 yrs old boy was raped? The excuse for the rapist was the “sexual emergency”.

This brings up a pleasant memory of a news story out of CA, of all places. It seems a beer delivery guy went to a couple of convenience stores on 9/11 and the raghead owners were celebrating the attacks in NYC and exhibiting a haughty attitude. The guy complained to his supervisor who told him to return to the store and remove all their company’s inventory. Ditto with the potato chip delivery driver. Both stores were out of business in less than two months. Gotta love that capitalism.

I’ll bet this investigation goes deeper than just these “Fake” Muslims and what they’ve done. After they’re all prosecuted and convicted take their citizenship then deport them. That’s fair and justifiable punishment. Islam is the “Great Deception” you were warned about 2,000 years ago. Islam has “Evil” intentions for the whole world and more and more people are waking up to that fact. Islam portrays itself to be “Good” but, actually its a deception. You’re being deceived by Islam.

–Send those pigs ? where they belong. Guantanamo Bay, and then send them to the deserts of Saudi Arabia. Dirty SOBS!!
I was wondering why the Pakistani convenience stores closed up in areas of Long Island, NY. They took their money and ran!!
They should all choke on fly ridden halal meats!!
