Tractor Traylor Charged with Aiding Drug Ring
December 13th, 2006 by Alex
When basketball players and cupcakes collide.
Things just aren’t going too well for basketball players these days. Robert ‘Tractor’ Traylor has been charged in association with a recently de-throned drug king.
Quasand Lewis, head of one of largest drug rings ever discovered in Michigan, was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Lewis’ drug cartel, which has shipped over 33 tons of weed to date, allowed him to compile millions of dollars in money and assets.
What’s gotten Tractor Traylor in trouble is letting Lewis fraudulently put choice assets under his name. Cars, property and other items were filed in Robert’s name, even though the items didn’t belong to him.
This doesn’t look good. Being Lewis’ cousin and all, I’m sure Tractor wanted to help the guy out, but associating with the head of a national drug ring is never a smart idea. At least on a business level.
Hopefully, Robert can cop a plea bargain and not have to spend any time behind bars, where cupcakes are much, much harder to get your hands on.

Is this a future Fortune 500 CEO?
Even though it’s guaranteed to make you a local celebrity, landing in the tFS Arrests section isn’t as fun as it sounds. Everyone knows growing pot can be one dangerous occupation. Still, with the risk comes the profit, and that will always attract people to try their hand at cultivating weed.
MarijuanaBusiness.com, if you believe everything written on their site, is a company dedicated to teaching people how to grow & sell marijuana. They’ll also instruct you how to avoid getting arrested, hide your money from the IRS and do plenty of other things that will really piss off the US government.
Let’s check out some choice items from the ‘Table of Contents’:
- Step-by-step plans to starting a marijuana business
- How to establish grower/dealer relationships
- Local and federal POLICE/FBI/DEA investigation tactics
- How and where to set-up a distribution network
- How to hide your new found profits and make them work for you
- Liberal schools that are dealer friendly
- Conversations that will help you initiate a sale
Basically, this is a guide on how not to become a law-abiding citizen. If all the 42+ topics covered in the Table of Contents are accurate, MarijuanaBusiness.com might actually be one of the best available sources for a home grown pot business.
One downside is how unbelievably shady that guy on the cover of the CD looks. Also, their website fits into all the usual stoner cliches with weed green coloring and a tiled, marijuana background image.
Overall, this site only leaves me with one unanswered question - does MarijuanaBusiness.com have a chapter on how to avoid the FBI/DEA tracking who purchases their CD’s online? Let’s hope so, because that’s data someone from Uncle Sam will be very interested in seeing.
Sheriff Arrested for Re-Selling Drugs & Ammo

How to get the public to distrust it’s law enforcement officers - a tutorial by tFS:
First, make sure you are in a position that requires voters to elect you. Try and make it one that’s high up on the totem pole - like a sheriff for instance. Next, round up a gang of like minded individuals who are motivated to make the extra buck. You want some variety on this, really spread your troops around. I suggest a postal service employee, a probation officer, and then some regular Joes out on the street.
Next, start seizing and storing everything you can find - guns, drugs, steroids, - you name it. Here comes the critical part, use your position, its influence and your newly formed gang to re-sell everything you’ve confiscated back into the community. A great way to do this is by paying off a sheriff’s seargent to use his house as a distribution base.
What’s the last step? Enjoy the benefits for as long as possible, because eventually you’re going to get cornholed by the FBI and DEA in a massive raid that brings down everyone around you. Still, this is only hypothetical. Right?
