Might be where all those trailer meat sales arise from......

A trailer load of frozen beef is like winning the lottery. Surprised there's not more of it going on.

Wouldn't be surprised if they had someone on the inside.

Yeah, it's hard to "fence" meat. Not sure there weren't insiders in on this all along the supply chain. Might have all started as a big tax-avoidance or insurance fraud scheme.
You could maybe get by with that once or twice, but 45 times...what were these geniuses thinking?

So now the dominoes fall, it's every man for himself in terms of plea bargaining, with lots of folks to be rounded up. I predict a lot of careers, relationships, and marriages ruined over this.
