Judge orders five people in drug ring to forfeit $36 million [SC]

Judge orders five people in drug ring to forfeit $36 million
May 20, 2007 - charlotte.com

GREENVILLE, S.C. --A federal judge has ordered five people convicted in a drug ring that brought hundreds of kilos of cocaine into Greenville to forfeit a combined $36 million.

Federal prosecutors have staked claims on property that includes a 2003 Lamborghini, a tour bus and an assortment of jewelry.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Moore says the property will be sold at auction with the proceeds going to local and federal law enforcement agencies.

"It's huge," he said. "This is one of the largest drug cases handled by this office."

Moore said as much as $6 million has been seized and authorities are looking for the rest.

Tremayne Graham, former son-in-law of Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, and his partner Scott King were each ordered to forfeit $10 million by federal Henry M. Herlong.

Graham started dealing drugs after he met King in the early 1990s while Graham was a student at Clemson University, prosecutors said.

Calling Graham "one of the biggest" drug dealers he's ever seen, Herlong sentenced him last month to life in prison without parole. Graham has appealed his sentence to the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

King was sentenced to more than 24 years.

The largest judgment, $15 million, was against 32-year-old Jerry Davis of Columbus, Ga., according to records. King testified that Davis supplied Graham with cocaine. Davis was sentenced to almost 40 years in prison.

Davis' wife, Tiffany Gloster, 36, was ordered to forfeit $500,000 and sentenced to two years in prison.

Eric Rivera, who testified he was a courier for Graham, was ordered to forfeit $500,000, records show. Herlong sentenced the 37-year-old Studio City, Calif. man to three years, four months in prison.

No one should go to jail for more then 7 years for trafficking cocaine, that's fucking ridiculous.

> No one should go to jail for trafficking cocaine

I fixed up your statement... drugs should not be illegal... but this story illustrates the real reason they are illegal:

> A federal judge has ordered five people convicted in a drug ring that brought hundreds of kilos of cocaine into Greenville to forfeit a combined $36 million.

The government does not seem to understand that they make drug trafficking profitable.
