STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids last week on Staten Island were part of a multi-state investigation into a massive criminal enterprise where money was laundered from illegal sales of marijuana, according to multiple sources.
Authorities allege that the money trail of illegal weed exchanged for cash winded its way through New York City as it traversed the East Coast to the West Coast and all the way to China.
