Drug dealer Rizler indicted
A federal grand jury laid charges on Minnesota spam king Christopher Smith ("Rizler") today.
Smith, 25, was charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, wire fraud, selling misbranded drugs, and money laundering.
The charges stem from an illegal Internet pharmacy business run by Smith that was shut down by the feds in May.
Smith was arrested this morning at his home in Prior Lake, Minnesota and is being held without bond.
Two of Smith's accomplices -- including a doctor in New Jersey and an accountant in New York -- were also indicted.
The AP recently published a story with more background on the case.
Besides millions in cash and cars, Smith owned a couple nice houses, including this one in Burnsville, MN -- all of which were seized by the feds.
Smith will be arraigned Friday, which means he'll have to tell the court whether he's guilty or not. Based on his previous bizarre behavior in this case, I wouldn't be surprised in Smith pleads not guilty to all of the charges. (AP photo)
