Hindelang help(ed) to devise and run ...a massive offshore operation that smuggled about 2 million pounds of marijuana into the United States

Arrested in 1981, Hindelang agreed to forfeit $640,000 he had made by drug smuggling

Years later, investigators uncovered evidence that Hindelang had retained a small fortune in drug money earned prior to his arrest.

He ultimately agreed to return $50 million to the government in 1998

Court documents question whether ill-gotten gains provided seed money for Pacific Coin

A Los Angeles jury last week...order(ed) the Simon firms to pay more than $78 million in punitive and compensatory damages

Justice works in mysterious ways... :)

Hindelang will probably end up spending the rest of his life in a California jail if Simon does win. The pay phone business is an all cash business, as well being the primary contact method for retail level illegal drug sales. He could have used it to find out who the drug dealers are as well as wash lots of cash.
