Matthew Medlin mugshot series - revisited again

Matthew Medlin remains very enigmatic after more than 3 years, which suggests he may not be still among the living. There doesn't seem to be any new and improved Matthew Medlin mugshots since May 2020. That downward spiral of his doesn't have an off switch. Medlin was made uber famous by the New York Times in 2017. Here.

Matthew Joseph Medlin in 2002.

Meth head Matthew Medlin, 37, was arrested for the 16th time in 2019 for licking another man's face, damaging cars and trying to bite a cop. The Portland native has a series of mugshots dating to when he was 18. Matthew Medlin’s most recent mugshot is a real doozey. Its over 22 convictions now in case anybody is keeping count. On May 12, 2020 cops charged the registered sex offender for second-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, menacing, second-degree disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Medlin shot up meth while throwing rocks and metal objects at cops. He had to be forcibly sedated, twice. He was eventually transported to Oregon State Hospital, and that is the last anyone has heard of Matthew Medlin.

HA Robert Barletta has same problem as Scarface - cash

A condo in Yorkville was used as a stash house for $5m in cash. Photos showed multiple people carrying shopping bags night and day. A successful criminal operation generates more dirty cash than people know what to do with. A cop explains.

“You end up with this pitfall of cash. You think of Scarface – he had cash in garbage bags. His biggest complaint: what do we do with all this cash?" Robert Barletta, Craig 'Truck' McIlquham

The sports betting operation was surveilled and infiltrated by cop rats in what became known as Project Hobart. The OPP held a news conference Dec 2019 to crow about 228 charges from their two-year probe of an illegal gambling ring run by HAMC and mafioso. Charges flopped miserably.

Cops describe a pyramid with hundreds of agents at various levels who were assigned code names and solicited bets, took commissions and passed a cut up. At the top were Robert Barletta of the Montreal Chapter and Craig McIlquham of the Niagara Chapter. Collection was "enforced through violence.” Barletta and McIlquham met with Hansley Joseph and Salvatore Cazzetta to “remove between $3 and $5 million in cash obtained from the illegal gaming operation from the 18 Yorkville Stash house.” Michael Deabaitua-Schulde was being watched by cops when he was whacked outside a Mississauga gym. That unsolved murder is said to be an internal matter.

Hansley Joseph

While the boys walked on criminal charges, civil forfeiture is on the hunt for proceeds of crime from their $160m operation. 14 websites brought in that amount over 6 years. McIlquham, 51, hid his loot in secret locations. In a hidden trap at his Toronto condo, cops found $40k in Canadian cash, $1,800 in US cash, a Brazilian visa in his name and ID with his photo but another man’s name. One of his vehicles in the underground parking lot returned $11k, a gun and a cellphone with evidence of bookmaking. From another vehicle cops seized a gold bar worth $206k. At another of his properties, cops found 27, 1 ounce gold coins in a black satin Louis Vuitton bag.

Most of the assets sought are real estate, many of them luxury homes. Parking dirty money in real estate has long been a preferred way to launder money in Canada.

Dillon Juel Stanton sorry for crime spree - revisited

One year ago Vancouver cops lassoed 'violent offender' Dillon Juel Stanton, 33. He was wanted for violating release conditions.

Dillon Juel Stanton was serving a three-year sentence for an armed robbery in Coquitlam in 2017. He was on statutory release and had been ordered to live in a Vancouver halfway house and bolted. Stanton, son of ex-Hells Angel Juel Ross Stanton, was home when his father was gunned down in the family backyard in 2010. He blew the $500k insurance cash in 5 years and became a drug addict.

A long string of often violent armed robberies followed. On March 13, 2017 cops found a massive hoard of stolen property, including 11 firearms, some with the serial numbers filed off. "I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart.” Stanton lied again in 2019. He had more than a dozen often violent convictions on his lengthy record.

India’s sand mafia - update II

Two mafia groups in northeast India exchanged gunfire, and torched a half dozen machines of each other, in an increasingly violent war over a natural resource. They aren’t battling over diamonds or oil: they want sand and they will kill for it. Intense demand, coupled with weak regulation, has made sand mining an easy target for criminals, especially in Cambodia, Kenya, Nigeria, and India.

The Enforcement Directorate cracked down on illegal sand mining in the Southern state of Tamil Nadu. The agency raided more than 25 locations across the state over money laundering and tax evasion. Sand is illegally extracted from riverbeds, causing environmental damage. It is then sold with no taxes being paid to the state. Sand miners S Ramachandran and ‘Dindigul’ Rathinam are being probed, as are 10 locations owned by jailed minister V Senthil Balaji.The enforcement case was registered without informing the corrupt Tamil Nadu Police.

300 trucks a day take their fill of sand at a mine on the Sone River in Bihar state.

The driver of an illegal sand-laden truck tried to run over an inspector. In another incident a mining inspector and cops narrowly escaped an attack by a gang of sand mafia in Bihar's Buxar district. Prices are up sharply and sand mining is becoming ever more profitable. Sand is a lucrative commodity in India. It fuels a black market for the illegal strip-mining of waterways. India’s construction boom helps keep the sand mining frontier lawless. Sand miners kill those who oppose them. Our modern world is built on sand: concrete, paved roads, ceramics, metallurgy, petroleum fracking, even the glass on smart phones. River sand is best: desert sand is too rounded to serve as industrial binding agents, and marine sand is corrosive.

Sand has become so valuable that it is shipped huge distances. Australia sends sand to Arabia for land reclamation. China is a sand glutton. The world uses 50 billion tonnes of sand every year — more than any other natural resource, except water. India’s sand mafia is well established. It is said the police cut of royalties inflates the price of river sands from 15k rupees ($150) a truckload to between 40k and 80k rupees.

A scarcity of sand, and efforts to regulate sand mining, have spawned illegal trade and black markets. The demand for sand is so intense in some places that gangs have taken over the trade completely.
