Seven Chinese nationals living in Massachusetts have been charged in connection with a multimillion-dollar drug-trafficking organization that allegedly grew and distributed marijuana across the U.S. Northeast.

"Today, we arrested members of an alleged Chinese-run drug trafficking organization who are accused of running a massive marijuana cultivation and distribution scheme that has raked in millions and contributed widely to the illegal drug trade here in the Northeast," Ted E. Docks, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston Division, said in a statement.

The scheme allegedly involved interconnected grow houses that cultivated and distributed marijuana. Chinese nationals were also allegedly smuggled into the U.S. for the purpose of working in these houses until they paid off their debts related to being smuggled into the country, according to an announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Prosecutors say the accused individuals made millions of dollars from the marijuana sales, which they in turn used to buy cars, luxury homes, jewelry and other items, according to the DOJ.

That carries me back to childhood: "The five Chinese brothers".

Whoa. Decades since I've thought of that! Thanks for the memories.

So China is just another country sending its criminals, undercover soldiers and spies here thanks to treasonists Obama and Biden and his autopen users. Color me surprised.

A couple of years ago, game wardens found a lone Chinese heroin poppy farmer way out in the pine forests in NC. He didnt speak English, so I think they let him go after confiscating his crop.

How Nice the CCP Illegals are
expanding into new CCP revenue branches while screwing up
Americans with drugs .

When are we throwing out all CCPs and taking back
the homes and land they should have ever acquired .

Just FYI - those 500K Chinese illegals, transported through the Darien Gap in Panama by Chinese gangsters and into the USA under FJB were not really “freedom seekers, and Christians persecuted by Xi Jinping.”

Maine reported at least two years of huge clandestine grow-house construction in remote areas.

Under Maine’s laws, the Chinese grow just under 40 lbs, which earns them just a slap on the wrist if caught.
