Shopway, Cakes, Candy and Flowers tied to drug and fraud scheme
Court documents describe a conspiracy between Shopway and Cakes, Candy and Flowers from 2012 to 2013. An informant wearing a wire used a receipt to obtain synthetic marijuana and cash during a raid that led to arrests of Mustafa and a Shopway worker, while no charges were filed against Cakes, Candy and Flowers. A December raid at IMT Wireless uncovered drugs and trafficking items. Michael Stepanik questioned why charges followed so long after the Shopway raid.
