- CrimsonRiot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+44Great Googly Moogly
- Boshow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31Does anyone know where the money is going to go? Besides lining the pockets of a bunch of cops, that is. Does it go to charity, or does it sit in an evidence locker, or is it destroyed?
- johnburk, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25Why did he not launder the money! Or us 500 euro bills instead of 100 USD! Doesn't he know that USD take 5x the space and loose their value fast!
I wonder what will really happen with the money - MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Better get to work Scorsese.
- KyMcMan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18The police are happy they re-thought their plan of "smoking out" the people inside by lighting the house on fire.
- vap0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16They use it to fund the "War on Drugs"

no flying cars yet. - ssmith2k3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Eating codfish and baby carrots for dinner? If I was that rich, I think I'd go for something not on the typical school cafeteria menu.
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12It should go to build schools, a hospital, park, library or something of the sort.
- russvan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10When I was in southwest conservation corps i met a LEO (law enforcement officer) whose job was to track drug trades through the desert, and he had a huge 3 ring binder full of photos of his drug busts, holy crap, it was unbelievable. They had hundreds of potato sacks STUFFED with weed, in one picture they had even built an entire FORT out of weed! Crazy!
- jessestorm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10It's an old story, but its still a lot of ***** money.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7the guards in that fort must not have been ready when the cops came...
- cthulhukb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I park my car every day at the mall where they caught this guy. My head almost spun around when I saw the headline in today's Washington Post.
For everyone complaining that this is "old", the news is that the man has been captured. Yes, the money was seized 4 months ago. - mehan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8what the ***** was he doing in wheaton, if he was so rich?
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Public projects to help provide an environment where kids won't lose their lives to stupid things like meth would be the most fitting, I think.
- SilkSteel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The world is yours, chico.
- lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8"Police raided Zhenli Ye Gon's posh Mexico City home in March, seizing what they said was $207 million."
My apologies. - ImOscar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6There's always money in the Banana Stand
- canewediggit, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8that thang is juicy
sorry, couldn't help myself - BossX, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Dude is gangsta
- minamhere, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6"...His company, Unimed Pharm Chem de Mexico, illegally imported from overseas about 86 metric tons of restricted chemicals into Mexico "for the express purpose of manufacturing pseudoephedrine..."
Maybe he was just trying to fill the void left by the new federal pseudophedrine regulation. Cheap, unrestricted Sudafed, Allergy relief the likes of which America has never seen. - jeffeb3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6does this mean I'm going to stop getting emails promising cheap drugs from Mexico?
- jeffeb3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5It probably sits around at least until he's convicted, then either a civil trial will distribute it, or more likely, it will be removed from evidence and become property of the police department (think police auctions, but just keeping the cash instead).
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6you mean WAS gangsta
- dreicher, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Anyone know if $207M is enough to cover 12M bus tickets to Mexico?
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I like your last comment, because its true. We beautiful and super-intelligent Canadians ARE modest. Dugg.
- deezeejoey, on 10/10/2007, -7/+10old story.
- Atom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think the Mexican Police were far more pissed when they didnt get their weekly pay off. So pissed that they decided to jack his entire fortune.
If a china men can come to mexico and stash a couple hundred million, I cant imagine what a true columbian drug lord has in his hold. I mean he was getting paid these sums by people who obviously had MUCH more cash then that. - FatherG, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7FTA:
"Suspect Wanted in Mexico Found in Wheaton Restaurant"
Wil, you've got some explaining to do. Don't give me none of that replicator ***** either. - miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4He was on the lam til they caught him monday.
Imagine having, then losing, all that money! Will he think it was worth it? - tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4So was the idea that when the fort was attacked, it would start on fire and give them one last high?
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Texas SUCKS seriously
- Shroommaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3One of the reasons the war on drugs continues, so the government can seize/steal stuff like this.
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Whats up with the Washington Post recycling old news articles and saying they were from now?
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Breaking: they caught the guy.
- GuruCesc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The money is currently sitting in a Mexico Central Bank (Banco de Mexico) account. Once the legal process (to prove that all that money came from a not legal source) is completed, it will be shared (as far as I remember) in equal parts by the Education Institute, the Military and the Health institute (please, someone correct me if I'm wrong)...
- Solardog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Do not pass go. Do not collect 207 million dollars.
- RoroCo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I live in Wheaton right behind the mall he was arrested in. Unfortunately, I had to DIGG you up for that comment.
- damnyooneek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3thats some real tony montana stuff
- lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -11/+13"When the law caught up with Ye Gon on Monday night," This article is from today.
I guess you must be from the future or some *****. Please tell me you have flying cars already. - pron*, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hey that's my $20!! 3rd stack in from the left right on top!
- Navicerts, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I missed what evidence they had, only say mention of a ***** load of money.
- LxRogue, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Article may be today, but i got this in office chain mail a month ago.
- XHashmeerX, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I'd like to see it get put into meth or any other drug rehab centers to help the people he profited from ***** up their lives.
- SanTe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2General question: in the event of large money seizures like this, what happens to the money? $207 million is a lot of money any way you look at it. Does it wind up in state coffers if the state police make the bust? If the Feds make the bust, where does the money go? To the DEA's budget? Into the U.S. Treasury? If so, how does it get allocated?
You never hear about what happens to the money after the fact. Yet somehow our federal government still constantly run deficits. Hmmmm. - biff198, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Can.. can I have it?
- bigteebo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I haven't seen that much drug cash since the movie Blow.
- nwoantibody, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is CIA money...
You don't want to touch CIA money...
You'll end up being served as the dressing for the codfish and baby carrots. -
