#1 From the embedded link in the first paragraph:

Ayman Saied Joumaa’s network rang alarm bells in Washington when agents discovered he was working with Mexico’s brutal Los Zetas cartel to move multi-ton loads of cocaine directly into the United States, and washing $200 million a month in criminal proceeds with the help of 300 or so used car dealerships. The network would funnel huge amounts of money to the dealerships to purchase used cars, which would then be shipped to Benin, on Africa’s west coast.
Emphasis added

Interesting. The Paki Awan's (former DNC IT contractors) reportedly used a car dealearship as a money laundering front in Falls Church as well.

I take it you do not share our beloved former president’s history of cocaine use, Raj, and you feel no need to pacify and employ the residents of various ghettos by increasing the supply of crack.
