Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight titleholder Georges St. Pierre was recently featured in NY Times. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for his exploits as one of the world’s most gifted mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters. Instead, Rush — alongside Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio — was photoed with longtime pal Jimmy Cournoyer, who just so happens to be the biggest pot dealer in New York City history. Kind of a strange association, considering St. Pierre’s crusade to end drug use in MMA.
From NYTimes.com: Starting in the mid-2000s, Mr. Cournoyer managed the shipment of man-size bales of hydroponically grown pot across the border on motorboats and snowmobiles. Nearly $1 billion of his cash was laundered through the Sinaloa drug cartel or was ferried back to Canada in pickup trucks equipped with secret traps in their radios and gas tanks. We never saw anything like this guy before, said Steven L. Tiscione, a federal prosecutor in New York who supervised the task force that broke the case. In terms of his longevity and scope, and the connections he had around the world, nothing, nobody, comes close.
