Former Gopher great Chris Darkins arrested for role in a drug trafficking


Yikes. Per the link:

A Houston man, formerly a player for the Green Bay Packers, has been arrested for his alleged role in a drug trafficking and money laundering ring that reached from here to California and Georgia.

Christopher Darkins is accused in Georgia in a federal indictment that names 31 people. He is charged with one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana.

The ring, which allegedly moved marijuana and cocaine, sent drugs through the mail from Houston and California to various parts of Georgia for distribution. It allegedly operated from 2012-2014, and was also connected to money laundering and firearms, according to federal authorities.

Go Gophers!!
 



I am against drug trafficking.
 



The Packers must have done this to him
 





Just another example of why you spend as little time as possible in Wisconsin. The contagion gets worse as you move east in the state.
 








Need to scrub all references to him from gopher twitter account
 




Whatever became of this? A google search was not fruitful. The only reason I'm digging up these old bones is that I noticed the U of M did a "catching up" session with Darkins for Black History Month. Darkins answers to the questions are strange, but that's just my opinion. Check it out.

From his linkedin page:

"YahDeinke Kyrstopher OjiYah Darkins (formerly know as Christopher Darkins) is currently an esteemed and highly respected Trustee and Justice for YahLife Nation, a global collective championing the interest of individuals and communities who have been victimized by the transatlantic slave trade. YahDeinKe OjiYah Darkins efforts related to criminal justice reform, cultural revitalization, economic independence, and natural law advocacy are an essential responsibility and duty accepted part and parcel in his affirmation of YahLife Citizenship."

So yes, a complete nut job who appears to be a complete nut job.
 

It looks like YahDeinke Kyrstopher OjiYah Darkins had a fundraiser for "A decisive movement, as Afrikan Americans, to reclaim our unique Afrikan heritage and wealth after being torn away by the transatlantic slave trade." They had a goal of raising $150,000 but only raised $326 from six contributors:

The heck does that even mean?

Is he ... ok?

Business jargon is the finest example of someone talking out of their ass. It would be refreshing to see a business professional say, "I do a bunch of **** to make my company money".

In 2016, Darkins was accused in Georgia with one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana. He fought the charges while in federal lockup for seven months, representing himself, and said his case was dismissed about 10 to 12 months later for lack of prosecution.

"When I got out I decided I was going to intellectually weaponize black men myself," he said. "The brothers you see in jail are prisoners of war. The economic system doesn't serve them, the educational system doesn't educate them, and the criminal justice system doesn't recognize them as people they need to provide justice for."

The interesting part is that he didn't get the charges overturned. He had an appeal that the court didn't act on in time which led to dismissal of charges.

The other interesting part is if you read his twitter feed he promotes an event "Focusing on beating the crimanl justice system amongst other topics..."

None of this technically means he's guilty. But it sure smells fishy.
