BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A Georgia man could face life in prison after he invested part of his $3 million lottery winnings in a crystal meth ring, reports CBS affiliate WJAX.


Ronnie Music Jr., 45, purchased large quantities of the drug meth with lottery winnings he won from a scratch-off ticket.


Investigators determined Music was supplying meth to a group of co-conspirators who were caught trying to sell approximately 11 pounds, worth more than $500,000 on the streets.


Agents seized more than $1 million of meth, firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, multiple cars and $600,000 in cash as part of the case.


Music pleaded guilty to federal drug and gun charges.


He could face life in prison.

Another example of a person with more money than brains.

It usually doesn't end well.

How much does a fast food franchise cost these days? Plenty of opportunity to poison the population legally.

Sounds like the guy here in Pa that won like $12 million back in the mid 1990's & started selling coca & got caught.....crazy to win that kind of money & lose your mind, along with your freedom instead of hanging by the pool with a beautiful woman.

That's some investment....What an idiot!

 

[jersey_dude]

What an idiot... just look at his face ... hno:
I guess while he was standing there to make that winner photo, his mind was wildly computing: "should I invest 1 million or 1.5 million in that wonderful meth biz?"

So no more music for Mr. Music...
Oh wait, maybe he'll sing while gang raped by a gang of 280 lbs sweet black guys or sweet Latino guys in the jail. Or even 280 lbs sweet Caucasian guys...

Well deserved for such a loser!

He should have just bought a "Los Pollos Hermanos" franchise.

Probably taxes eat half of that, so he got actually about 1.5 million cash.
Still enough to do something with that to change radically your and your family's life, if you have at least average brains...

Uncorrelated asset, nothing wrong with diversification.
