Police find $238,000 in backpack in car

A criminal complaint filed by federal authorities reveals a substantial haul from a suspected drug dealer's house and car in Woodlawn. Police said they found a backpack in a silver Infiniti with $238,131 in cash inside.

Here is the complaint that provides some interesting insight into the drug culture:

On the other hand, it could be someone that had enough with greedy banks, Wall-Street, and the Feds keeping interest rates to zero.

If the owner of a Walgreen's had a backpack with $238,131 in it nobody would care. I don't see the difference.

hmmm Antonio said it 23k but the paperwork says 21,8???? Looks like somebody took their Xmas bonus a little early,.....I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was probably 250k in the car even though the paperwork says 238

LOL at how the ATF agent mispells Infiniti.

now come on now that sound like an illeagal sreach to me, they know damn well that that dog did not sniff a damn thing out in that car, we dont believe u u need more people, come on now really tho

Cham, are you serious? I thought you were better than that. The owner of a Walgreen's pays taxes on their earnings, drug dealers don't. Thats why people care. Not only is the money drug proceeds, to fund more drug activity and weapons, but it is tax free money that will be seized and invested onto the city.

Now do you see the difference?

The forged document was intended to falsely give the impression that a PR firm had been hired by Gen. (ret.) Yoav Galant, who had been a senior candidate to become IDF chief of General Staff, to damage the reputations of other competitors for the post of chief of General Staff.
