illicit scheme

There’s a scene in which Stan’s friends unsuccessfully recruit him for an illicit scheme.

Pachecho, the former City Council member who headed the illicit scheme, entered a plea agreement in 2020 admitting to soliciting bribes from weed businesses — including an unsuccessful attempt to wring a whopping $150,000 payment from a consultant working for a local cannabis distributor.

"The illicit scheme enriched the defendant's family to the tune of millions of dollars," said US Attorney Breon Peace.

Vance noted that multiple witnesses had described Trump as a micromanager – contra Blanche’s argument he’d be too busy as president to involve himself in an illicit scheme to falsify business records and evade campaign finance laws – and rebutted the notion that Cohen would drop $130,000 of his own money to buy Daniels’ silence without Trump’s knowledge and consent.

Andrade testified in court that Claudia Díaz continued that illicit scheme when she was put in charge of Venezuela's treasury by President Chávez.
