A former marijuana distribution warehouse worker faces at least a dozen years behind bars Monday for working with a corrupt Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy to stage a $2 million robbery at a marijuana distribution warehouse.
Christopher Myung Kim, 30, of Walnut, was convicted of drug crimes and conspiracy last year by a federal jury. He faces a mandatory minimum of 12 years when sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Virginia A. Phillips.
Evidence showed Kim had worked at the warehouse in downtown Los Angeles and supplied blueprints and other information for the October 2018 holdup.
Pretending to be law enforcement agents conducting a raid, the robbers stole more than 1,200 pounds of marijuana and safes containing some $600,000.
Sheriff’s Deputy Marc Antrim, who used his badge and a fake search warrant to gain entry, pleaded guilty to federal charges and is set to be sentenced in April.
Five others also pleaded guilty and are expected to be sentenced in the next several months.

Lots of money and no banks to place it in.
I believe someone could open a secure bonded warehouse just for marijuana dealers with branches across California. Hire off duty cops 24/7. Of course they would have to be licensed by each county and approved by the Sheriff. No political favors allowed.
