DAMN....when did times get THIS bad?

In BREAKING NEWS, it is being reported that Roc-A-Fella Records Co-Founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke was among 43 people arrested today in a massive drug sweep spanning from New York to South Florida, authorities said.

The 18-month investigation into the huge narcotics network, headed by Geovanny “Manny” Rodriguez Perez, resulted in $1 million in seized profits and 177 pounds of marijuana, said Jim Hayes - special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "They dominated the wholesale marijuana market in New York for 20 years."

Ut Oh....

At least another seven people are expected to be arrested as a result of the operation, dubbed “Green Venom,” said Hayes. Investigators used state and federal wiretaps to catch the drug smugglers, authorities said.

I guess when money can't be made the legal way, we go back to the drug game? Oh aiiight.
