Is a “known person” like a “celebrity”?
Very strange story. They were arriving from Chile, and the one man was apparently the first person busted. He said he had only $100 dollars on him and it turned out that he had several thousand, and so did the other flight attendants. They were apparently all in it together to bring this money to somebody in the US and weren’t smuggling it in for their use.
I’m thinking the “known person,” which means somebody known to law enforcement, was some kind of drug gang member, possibly in jail now and needing cash either to pay off people or possibly to post bail if he hasn’t been tried yet.
Strange that they would risk their jobs (not to mention, prison terms!) for this. I also think it’s possible that they have been doing this for some time.

More like a Drug lord.
