Daniel Kinahan flees Dubai bolthole
 | The Irish Mirror says investigators believe the 45-year-old escaped Dubai using a false passport in April. Cops suspect his final destination will be another state in Asia. They say one possibility is Kazakhstan. Kinahan made several visits to the oil-rich state that borders Europe and has firm contacts there. It’s understood father Christy, 64, and brother Christopher Jnr, 41 have also fled Dubai. All three were named as international criminals by the US Department of the Treasury, which placed global financial sanctions on them. They were barred from flying on an American airline, and US companies are barred from doing business with them, anywhere in the world. Cops believe the cartel, which smuggles millions of euro for drugs into Ireland and Britain every year, is set to break up. The Kinahans can no longer run the operation. Others will step in to take over and will pick up the pieces. The cartel has suffered massive losses of men, cash and drugs.  |

Mafioso Del Balso busted trying to extort Laval church
 Del Balso extorted nuns and a priest. | Francesco Del Balso reportedly demanded $5k a week from the church if he couldn't get back the jewelry that his ex-wife left while donating clothes a few years ago.

In 2006, he was arrested in Project Coliseum and sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to gangsterism, cocaine smuggling, and tax evasion.

HEXO.t enlists Mike Tyson to sell pot = problem
 | The Montour brothers figured they were geniuses by tapping their old man's pal Mike Tyson to sell pot. They issued news Aug 30. Wholesalers from both Alberta and Quebec said they have no plans to allow Tyson 2.0 products on store shelves because Canadian law prohibits cannabis promotions through endorsements or depictions of people. |  Peter Montour, Mike Tyson, Jerry Montour |
 | It has been pointed out that Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist, and that fact alone would preclude him from being a part of any legitimate public company promotion efforts. One wonders how far exactly HEXO.t is from going taters up now. Throwing millions of stakeholder's money away this creatively takes some doing. |  |
