I wish I were surprised. This is the second time I've heard of a situation like this but in a different country.

Here in the DR, the "Woman Of The Year" is selected by which woman stole the most money!
I thought you knew THAT!
Before, 2007, it always went to the Dominican Prostitute who sent the most money home to help here family, usually about 2,000 pesos at Christmas time.
In 2007, none of them sent any money to the DR, Soooooooooooooooooooooooo, they went to the next "BEST" group ofDominican women, "Ladronasos"!!!!

I thought since he's cooperating those records would've sealed so as to not compromise the investigations. He obviously sang, or is singing, because he received, I think, a six year sentence - possibly less with time already served and good behavior.

Tono Lena has to be careful because he's also a threat to the powers that be who are trying to escape this dragnet. Puerto Rico definitely isn't safe for him! I wouldn't be surprised if he's transferred here in New York to the southern district. I believe Agosto Figueroa is also serving time at Brooklyn Federal.

Who has taken their places? Arrest all of them you want. They'll just "make more". It costs a lot of money to keep this game going.

I agree with you. It's like this devil has a thousand heads. You chop one off today, and tomorrow appears another. Law of supply and demand. :)

But you're going to kill a lot of the users. Drugs are here to stay! Curbing the supply and treating users holistically would be a start in the right direction. :)

It was Richard Nixon who started the un-winnable war on drugs and coined the phrase "War on Drugs" in 1969. People have made lots of money based upon his decision.

Thanks, I've always heard of it and thought it was comical like Nancy Reagan's,"just say no!". America is close to legalizing marihuana in my opinion. :)
