Comic Book Laundering Meth Dealer Sentenced In Colorado
Aaron Castro was sentenced to 45 years in prison last Thursday (November 10) for his work organizing and leading a multiple-person Colorado drug ring. Castro had wandered into the comics industry news spotlight for laundering some of his drug profits through rare, collectible comic books. The group was responsible for more than 100,000 doses per month of the addictive drug finding its way onto Denver-area streets, and rather than a manufacturing operation was part of a distribution pipeline from Mexico through Phoenix.
