跨北美贩毒网络成员在洛杉矶联邦法院被判有罪 以摇头丸换可卡因、经洛杉矶转运加拿大

位于加州洛杉矶县的洛杉矶市,联邦调查局(FBI)洛杉矶外勤办公室10月16日发布,跨北美贩毒网络成员戴维·约纳(David Joner)于10月16日下午在洛杉矶的美国联邦地区法院被判有罪,两项罪名成立:一项是密谋分销并持有以图分销可卡因,一项是密谋出口可卡因。
约纳现年58岁,来自华盛顿州福尔城(Fall City)。他是联邦大陪审团2019年起诉的16名被告之一,该案源于FBI与洛杉矶警察局(LAPD)的联合调查「临终声明行动」(Operation Dying Declaration),打击一个以加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华为基地的大型贩毒组织。
据起诉书,该组织由已被定罪的加拿大毒贩坦尼·果恩·林(Tenny Guon Lim)领导,林绰号「山羊」(The Goat)和「马克斯力量」(Max Power),目前人在加拿大、等待引渡美国。组织把多公斤级的MDMA(俗称摇头丸)送入美国,换取由在美同伙从墨西哥取得的多公斤级可卡因;调查人员发现,该组织成员使用加密数字设备联络。
据FBI发布,可卡因在洛杉矶地区与MDMA交接,再直接或经华盛顿州运往加拿大;该组织还把可卡因和甲基苯丙胺从洛杉矶地区运往加拿大转售,换取大批MDMA或现金。约纳属于该组织在华盛顿州的分支,曾把多批多公斤级可卡因从洛杉矶地区转运至加拿大。
FBI称,该案已有7名被告被定罪,另有9名被告等待审判程序。案件由FBI、联邦缉毒局(DEA)与LAPD调查,由美国联邦检察官办公室加州中区分署起诉。
Member of North American Drug Trafficking Network Convicted in Los Angeles Federal Court
Los Angeles is a city in Los Angeles County, California. A member of a Canadian-based drug trafficking organization that moved large amounts of narcotics throughout North America was convicted at trial on the afternoon of October 16, 2026, in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, the FBI's Los Angeles field office announced.
David Joner, 58, of Fall City, Washington, was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine, and one count of conspiracy to export cocaine.
Joner was one of 16 defendants indicted by a federal grand jury in 2019 as part of Operation 'Dying Declaration,' a joint FBI and Los Angeles Police Department investigation targeting a large drug trafficking organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
According to the indictment, the organization, led by defendant Tenny Guon Lim, a convicted Canadian drug trafficker also known as 'The Goat' and 'Max Power,' sent multi-kilogram quantities of MDMA, also known as ecstasy, to the United States in exchange for multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine obtained by U.S.-based associates in Mexico. Lim is currently in Canada pending extradition to the United States. Agents learned the organization used encrypted digital devices to communicate.
The cocaine obtained in Mexico was exchanged for MDMA in the Los Angeles area, and the drugs were transported between Los Angeles and Canada either directly or through Washington state. Joner worked for the Washington cell of the organization and trafficked numerous multi-kilogram loads of cocaine from the Los Angeles area to Canada. Seven defendants in the case have been convicted and nine are pending prosecution. The case was investigated by the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the LAPD, and prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.
