300,00 Viagras, 500 Oxycodones, Weed, 200% Vig -- Just Mob Business as Usual
More details were recently released from the criminal complaint filed against the Bonanno crew indicted on Wednesday.
The Bonannos have sold more than 300,000 Viagra and Cialis pills, with prices ranging from $5 to $20 per pill, according to the criminal complaint filed Wednesday when nine Bonannos were indicted with enterprise corruption -- the state's version of RICO.
During the takedown, officers found 500 oxycodone pills, two dozen boxed tablets of Viagra, and a large amount of marijuana in several of the mobsters' homes. Oxycodone is a highly addictive pain medication.
The group also faces charges of usury — running a loan-sharking operation that charged 200% interest a year — as well as a gambling operation in Costa Rica which raked in almost $7 million in 230 days.
