Tweet

Last week, the DEA, FBI and IRS raided and seized eight Austin, Texas nightclubs. They were all trendy and upscale clubs in the entertainment district owned by one family. Ten or eleven persons were taken into custody, The first hearings were held yesterday and today. Four were allowed to bail out. Three have been denied bail. And the judge is considering whether to grant bail to the other four. The charges include money laundering, cocaine trafficking , selling guns illegally and one possible homicide along with links to a terror group, a prison gang and the Mexican Drug Cartels. One of those charges was sending millions of dollars to Switzerland and to a brother in Lebanon who has ties to Hezbollah. These were just the first hearings to set bond. I am certain it is going to get more interesting as time goes on.
