Australian,

This guy has all your missing cows, they are fertilizing his crops


Everyday Average Couple Accused Of Running Massive Drug Ring

A young mother from Australia has been accused of using her paid maternity leave to help her husband run a multi-million dollar drug empire. Sarah Hannan, 27, allegedly controlled the finances of the marijuana business that she ran with her husband Ben, which was so successful that they bought a $1.1 million mansion on the Gold Coast to house their underground cannabis plantations.

Police claimed that while Ben handled the growing of hydroponic crops in hidden bunkers, Sarah funneled $1 million into 17 accounts over two years, using advice from a local accounting firm that assumed they were running a legitimate business. In addition to the waterfront mansion, they used the money from their drug dealing to buy investment properties worth $2.2 million and several luxury cars.

Transcripts from wiretapped phone conversations indicated that Sarah spoke with Ben’s brother, Scott, about needing to wait for drug cash to arrive so that she could pay a $5,000 bill. The phone taps also revealed the Hannan brothers arguing over the use of pesticides on marijuana crops and Scott’s plans to get a roommate. “It doesn’t bother me as long as the guy never, ever, ever gets a whiff of what you do for work,” said Ben. “It’s way too close.”

Unfortunately for Sarah, she became the first woman to be charged under Australia’s new Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act, which would give her an extra 15 years in prison if convicted on charges of drug trafficking and supply. Ben faces an additional 25 years in jail under the new act as the alleged leader of a criminal organization. All of their assets and properties have also been frozen as alleged criminal proceeds.
