"Regardless, she has shown that a legitimate owner with legitimate financing can open a successful venture here"

Do we know that? Unless we get a glimpse at her books I would be more inclined to believe otherwise.

She, an unknown businessman with no obvious sources of (legal) financing built out a swanky-ish looking bar/restaurant to what appears, act as a vehicle to launder the millions of dollars she was pulling in from her "other" job. All this proves is that millions in drug money make a solid foundation to fund other businesses, something organized crime has been doing for 60 years. It doesn't prove anything about the viability of anything in Anacostia.

And Hogwash, you embarrass me as a District Resident. You making a public point of saying you are going to Uniontown this week to "do your part" and support a woman who was just taken down because she was trafficing millions of dollars of dope in your neighborhood is simply put, ridiculous. Really, why would you do such a thing. You aren't supporting a restaurant. You are putting money directly in the pocket of some one who just got caught with the intention of distributing 140 pounds of coke in YOUR neighborhood and you don't care?
