I didn't wanna write "in massive drug sweep" but apparantly that's what the feds are calling it.
Kareem “Biggs” Burke, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, which launched the career of superstar rapper Jay-Z, was among 43 people arrested today in a massive drug sweep spanning from New York to South Florida, authorities said. Also nabbed was Matthew Stang, a writer and senior ad rep at High Times magazine, a well-known chronicle of chronic culture.Burke was nabbed early this morning by ICE agents at his home in North Bergen, NJ. The 18-month investigation into the vast narcotics network – headed by Geovanny “Manny” Rodriguez Perez – resulted in $1 million in seized profits and 177 pounds of marijuana.
Perez is suspected of being involved with the New York City drug trade since the 1990s — using couriers with vehicles to move the product and planes to transport the ill-gotten proceeds It was transported in bulk from Florida to New York. From there it was divvied up among three main cells in the NYC-area and distributed to their clients.
