The Brooklyn guys sold the Long Island guys $16,000 worth of crushed up sheetrock which they claimed was cocaine.
The Long Island guys purchased the crushed up sheetrock with counterfeit money. So who wins? Neither team. Both are going to jail. The Long Island guys got caught while trying to move the drugs back to their headquarters but were stopped by police. They confessed to possessing cocaine, only to find out it was sheetrock. In total 23 men ended up falling to the legal system when it all came crashing down. The district attorney Thomas Spota says one of the men is in ESPECIALLY deep trouble for the following reasons -
"During a raid of Mr. Butler's Patchogue home last month, police found a counterfeit bill printer in a living room closet and a check list items needed to impersonate a police officer, including handcuffs and a Chevy Impala car. Clothing was crossed off the list, most likely because police vests and hats were found in the home, Mr. Spota explained."
