The DOJ alleges that a high-ranking member of the Yakuza, Takeshi Ebisawa, was the central figure in a plot to funnel American weapons to ethnic militias in Myanmar in exchange for heroin and meth. Ebisawa is charged with narcotics importation, money laundering, and conspiracy to acquire surface to air missiles, if convicted he could face up to life in prison.

He didn't sell them. Next.
STOP ASIAN HATE.
It’s not ebisa. It’s ebisa"wa"
Boys… We got 'em.
Sending weapons to Ukraine isn't putting lives at risk! The irony of our world!
Great movie 🍿
There's still Yakuza around?
How can u have a landslide victory yet still have large protest? Almost as if there is election fraud
Word to all drug dealers..if you meet a new "contact" that wants to work weapons into the deal they are a fed 100%. Even on the street level they try to buy a gun off of you. Feds love weapon charges.
This is interesting🤔
I hope this man gets off. Free Myanmar!!!
Quadreple OG Yaukza boss really about that life
HBOmax just released their new Original Series about the Yakuza; Tokyo Vice. Perfect timing lol.
Isn't it weird how the weapon seller is charged, yet the buyer gets away with the law? Something doesn't seem right there…
Don't you think we should be supporting the people of Burma against the military dictatorship? Democracy over autocracy!
Only the United States govt can sell weapons and drugs to militias fukin joke
Yakuz rising
Arigato!
Why would it matter if the drugs are sold in New York or anywhere in the U.S.?
You made a choice to buy the drugs and use it.
Ain't nobody make you buy it…
I was born in a poor neighborhood and I didn't use drugs… I don't drink alcohol or smoke.
That sucks, Myanmar needs these weapons to fight the oppressors and the streets are already full of drugs but at least these wouldn't be from Mexico. The drugs are def not from Japan so these Yakuza were just middle men so they accomplished absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Meanwhile El Salvador is showing everyone how its done
Tokyo Vice is dope
