Comments are good:
HONEYPOT One charge use of a female member to seduce men, incapacitate them with gas, and then rob them
"theft of cargo shipments, including a shipment containing approximately 10,000 pounds of chocolate confections"
Killing people, gambling, drugging and theft—just everyday mafia-like activity. But stealing chocolate? That can't be tolerated.
This is the second group of Russian mobsters caught in the last couple of months. Hopefully they are actually connected. (pun intended?)
second big Russian mafia bust in as many weeks. gee I wonder if that's connected to any other ongoing investigations?

Good to see this story is validated by the NY States Att.

We need to keep the faith.

6. Yes that's it. Thanks to our group of super sleuths with their fine sources..

Kudos to them all.

How little we'd know if we had to wait for MSM's sanitized version.
