High Crimes
High Crimes: The Chinese Mafia’s Takeover of Rural America The Chinese mafia is building a black-market marijuana empire across rural America—buying homes, churches, even schools. They’re lacing marijuana with poisonous pesticides, laundering money, stealing power, and flooding the market with unregulated, chemical-laced weed that could harm someone you love. It’s a multi-billion-dollar industry. Investigative journalist Steve Robinson sets out to reveal how Chinese mafia networks have quietly taken root in rural America—sometimes right next door. This is a story you won’t hear anywhere else. And it’s high time to stop looking the other way.
