You forgot about the money laundering and ecstasy pipelines.
Brooklyn rabbis and their people were washing millions in Colombian cartel cash through synagogue and yeshiva accounts in the mid 90s. Banks, books, the whole religious infrastructure. Several got charged. Some convicted. It happened.
Then the late 90s ecstasy wave. Israeli linked crews sourced the pills from Dutch and Belgian labs and used Hasidic or Orthodox kids as mules because airport security looked at a kid in a black hat and thought yeshiva student, not courier with 10,000 hits. Names like Oded Tuito and Jacob Orgad moved serious volume into the reporting at the time said those networks owned a big slice of the American MDMA market when it peaked.
Your post gives merit.
