Authorities also said they seized $6.5 million in assets from trusts and bank accounts in Monaco, part of more than $70 million forfeited in the investigation dating to the early 1990s.

Federal officials said the impetus for the investigation was Paul Hindelang, who operated one of the nation's largest marijuana smuggling operations in the late 1970s. Special agent Cynthia Keuthan said Hindelang did not have any operating control over Shaboom, but "it was his drug proceeds that ultimately funded the company."
