Should state and federal tax agencies consider utilizing Absolute-AML-Asset Valuation (AAMLAV) to determine the level of tax evasion and money laundering which was potentially occurring via the criminal operation? AAMLAV may be especially beneficial as the assets in the case might be considered to be both illicit and licit simultaneously. Thus, could the potential tax evasion be assessed based upon the absolute value of the assets in question irrespective of any other consideration?
A misdemeanor and a fine? I’ll take some marijuana fortress money and a misdemeanor any day of the week.
Keep on keeping on
She shouldn’t have to do any jail time, hopefully she just gets a small fine. They’re only plants after all.
So what’s the crime?
no free enterprise for the common folk. that would disrupt the grand scheme of things.
maybe she needs some solar power and tesla batteries to go undetected.
She faces no more than one year in jail (not prison), and a fine, if they even charge her at all. Also, I think the charge would be connected to the lack of a business license, and not the pot, but I guess saying that wouldn’t be headline-worthy.
sure but it is allowed to grow poppy for more opioids right?

There’s a fine line between December 2017 and January 2018 in California. Should’ve just waited until next year to do this grow.

What’s ta bust?
I mean if you’re working at that level & bringing in that much money, just get the state & business license.
im really confused how tf this is just a misdemeanor
It’s legal in Cali…
If this was a black male he would be facing 30 years in prison.
Little white girls never get in trouble.
Get the Heroin off the streets! Otherwise you are wasting my tax dollars!

Nancy Botwin! Wait up. A misdemeanor? Lol!
White privilege. Why is she not in jail with all her employees??? 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Wow probation I almost went to prison for 42 pot plants if it was 50 I would have been a trip to the penitentiary
i thought it was legal in california?
Let them would have been black just off five plants 15 to life 😂😂😂
So, basically, this operation could have been legal in some way with the correct paperwork? A matter of tax evation here first of all? The lady seems to be a good business talent being in charge setting it all up and getting things to marked. Got a bit too greedy then
Win win situation for her.. risk a misdemeanor for millions….smart lady.
