$24M Seized In Miami Home Of Accused Marijuana Trafficker

The Miami-Dade Police Department made its largest money seizure ever on Wednesday when it discovered $24 million in suspected drug trafficking money in a Miami home.

Authorities say Luis Hernandez-Gonzalez was involved in trafficking marijuana to Tennessee along with two other men. His sister, Salma Hernandez, was also arrested.

Police found five-gallon buckets filled with cash inside the walls of the home. They also discovered a high-powered automatic weapon and steroids.

Gonzalez runs The Blossoms Experience store in Miami-Dade, which police say he was using to sell equipment to grow marijuana and give advice on how to care for the plants. Drugs and $180,000 in cash were also seized from the business.

Police say they had Gonzalez under surveillance since 2010. He faces several drug trafficking-related charges along with money laundering, weapon possession and cannabis possession.

He’s being held on a $4 million bond, and his sister is held on a $12,500 bond.

    Why continue when you have 24 millllllion dollars? Quit, go to Amsterdam and spend the rest of your life legally running a weed bar.

  30. @katygaddis7044 on January 16, 2024 at 12:39 am

    They were just jealous & ran out of aircraft gas money to fly and spray chemicals over God’s sky. So as usual, had to do a bust; but it’s ok for them to open up marijuana churches & pass laws in states legalizing marijuana; & it’s been told the government been selling it in CA for medicinal purposes. What’s up! God revealed your Dirt i.e. "putting all His people in prison for the same thing they are doing." God said, Satan, degrading God’s trees but uplifting their Prozac, Zanax, etc & causing addictive behavior i.e. mental illnesses. Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall also he reap." So, what are they going to do with it? Ummm… AMEN! Love you anyway in Christ, D.O.Z., daughter of Zion, Jer 6:2 & Is 14:32, God said to give any1 asking who sent me. And the other anointed olive tree per Zech 4/Rev 11, Godly power.



  31. @F4BI4N on January 16, 2024 at 12:40 am

  34. @Hello-zf5lq on January 16, 2024 at 12:44 am

    Plot twist: perhaps they waited for marijuana to be sold so they would seize cash that they pocket and add to their budget
