NJ state trooper finds over $783,000 in traffic stop

9:12 AM, Apr. 25, 2012

FORT LEE — Two men from New York face charges after a New Jersey state trooper found more than $783,000 in their vehicle during a traffic stop.

State Police say the trooper stopped the SUV because it was driving erratically on Interstate 95 in Fort Lee.

The trooper found the money in a box and a hydraulically-operated compartment hidden in the vehicle.

Franklin Delacruz and Jose Tremillo-Carnillo of the Bronx, N.Y., are charged with money laundering and conspiracy. They’re each held in the Bergen County Jail on $500,000 bail.

It’s not known if the men have attorneys.

i saw a story about some lady who was pulled over in florida, the cops searched her car for no apparant reason other than the fact that she was black. she had told them that she was driving down to south florida to buy and antique car. they found $40,000.00 in her car and arrested her for having $40,000.00 that was her only charge. after a long investigation they found that her story was true about her going to buy this car but 4 years later she was still trying to get her $40,000.00
back from the authorities who took the position that it must have been drug money even though her story checked out.

so in this country it is against the law to have cash money. you cant even get on an airplane with more than $10k. what if you go to vegas and win, guess what you better take a cab home because they can take your money. i understand that you can somehow report it to someone and carry your money on an airplane, but why the F, should you have to tell anyone how much money you have?

Maybe they were "SEPTA" workers going to the Big Apple for some fun

Maybe they were "SEPTA" workers going to the Big Apple for some fun

Yeah that is something special about those 48 Philadelphia SEPTA workers ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wish, of course, was to be one of the 48 SEPTA workers who bagged the $172.7 million Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night's drawing. Maybe there's a consolation prize.

"We're hoping they all leave and we can get [their] better jobs," said Thrower, who works for SEPTA's Customized Community Transportation service for riders with disabilities.

His colleague, Carey Abney III, cracked up at that.

"You hit the Powerball, would you still be here?" he asked with a grin.

All the winning employees work - at least for now - at SEPTA headquarters on Market Street near 12th, most of them in the finance department, SEPTA said. They bought the winning $2 ticket at the Newsstand at the Gallery, a couple of blocks away.

Perhaps afraid that distant relatives would suddenly try to railroad them into coughing up a token of their newfound wealth, all 48 winners attempted to mass-transit themselves home from work anonymously on Thursday, without expressing themselves to local reporters.

The SEPTA 48, some of whom had been buying lottery tickets together for years, will now share the $172.7 million if they choose the 30-year annuity, or a mere $107.5 million if they take it in a lump sum. Either way, they're all millionaires.
