If you read the indictment the dude was running a business that lost money just for the IRS. He also had a new BMW and he even said he "liked to spend money". 250k a year for a soldier is big time. When that one acting boss flipped recently forget which one he guessed the average soldier made 50-60k a year so Joe Electric was actually doing very well.
what was sad was seeing that Carl guy, almost 80 years old pushing major weight. Will die in the can after just getting out. What was shocking was seeing how garbage the pressed 30s were. And then getting totally fake crystal. But then they eventually linked up right with the cartel and was getting literally Breaking Bad level meth.
If the average soldier is making $50K-$60K, its no wonder the thing is allegedly on its last legs in the US. Risking long prison sentences for the same salary as an entry level sales job is beyond crazy.
Well that info is also 10 years old so 50-60 grand in the mid-late 00s is probably in the high 5 figures today. And entry level jobs are not 50k a year. Minimum wage is like $10-11 now. Even a $20 a hour job which is def not entry level is only 40k a year and thats taxed to oblivion. There are also perks that come with a button...protection against other criminals....access to drug connects, mafia loan shark rates that you can juice up etc.
