Delroy Anderson, Marijuana Trafficking, Connecticut 2023

A marijuana trafficker from Stamford has pleaded guilty to leading a money laundering conspiracy in Connecticut.

Delroy Anderson, 57, also known as 'Max,' was arrested in Dallas, Texas, on November 8, 2023. He has been detained since then.

According to court documents, Anderson conspired with others to launder proceeds from a marijuana trafficking operation between 2015 and 2019. He paid for marijuana cultivation, package shipping, electricity, and air travel expenses with the proceeds.

Anderson also deposited the drug trafficking proceeds into multiple bank accounts opened in the name of Maximillion Enterprises Inc. and structured deposits to evade reporting requirements under federal law.

Between 2015 and 2019, Anderson operated marijuana cultivation farms in Santa Rosa, California, and Willits, California. He employed others to grow, harvest, package, and ship the marijuana for distribution in Connecticut, Virginia, New York, and elsewhere.

Anderson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years. He also agreed to forfeit his interest in multiple bank accounts associated with the charged conspiracy.

Judge Kari A. Dooley scheduled sentencing for September 16. Anderson's co-conspirators, Kelvin Jackson and Stephanie Atkinson, previously pleaded guilty to the same charge and await sentencing.
