Cali to Maryland Money Laundering Bust | Annapolis News

A California man, Nicholas Parks, just got three years in prison for masterminding a high-stakes marijuana money laundering ring that spanned California and Maryland. He’ll also serve a year of probation and repay over $329,000. The scheme, active between late 2020 and early 2021, involved flying weed across state lines, selling it, and using complex cash routes—including bank transfers and a Texas bust—to hide the money.

He admitted guilt in April 2026, revealing how the crew moved cash back to California and through shell contacts to evade detection.
