2. Charmaine Roman
Florida resident Charmaine Roman was arrested for her role as a bookkeeper in Jamaica’s violent marijuana-smuggling ring. Outside of her sketchy dealings, Roman helped raise her young grandson. She spent her time driving her Land Rover and living her flashy Floridian lifestyle, but it was all funded by a multi-million dollar crime ring.
As well as having drug money to pay the bills, Roman was also a renowned gambler— one time she won a cracking $100,000 on a lottery ticket and had a total of 44 winning lottery tickets from 2009. But apparently, that was just pocket change.
Police found Roman with several documents hinting at numerous aliases, and have remained unable to figure out her genuine identity. It is also thought that as well as the bookkeeper, she was actually a kingpin in the organization! The police spent 6 years surveilling Roman, which probably cost them about as much money as her total lottery winnings!
