“Super” Wright Gets 8 Years for Heroin & Coke Ring

GREENBELT, MD – Mario Finesse Wright, a/k/a Super and Finesse, 29, of Harrison, New Jersey, is headed to federal prison for 96 months after being sentenced on May 10, 2017, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute drugs. The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang, also includes four years of supervised release. Wright wasn’t working alone; this was a family affair steeped in misery and fueled by profit.

The Justice Department revealed a network of co-conspirators, including three of Wright’s own brothers: Nikko Taylor Wright, 26, of Germantown, Maryland; Clayton Dion Hollywood Wright, a/k/a Hollywood, and Harrison Wright, 23, both of New Jersey; and Maximillan Kabir Bradford Wright, 22, of New Jersey. Beyond the blood ties, the conspiracy extended to Shahryar Talebi-Nejad, a/k/a Skeet, 28, of North Potomac, Maryland; Matthew Joseph Hochman, a/k/a Greasy, 28, of Gaithersburg, Maryland; Daniel Rocco Famulare, 29, of Gaithersburg, Maryland; Brandon Alexander Ade, 25, of Germantown, Maryland; Arian Siasi, a/k/a The Prince of Persia, 26, of Silver Spring, Maryland; Ilya Bechutsky, 30, of Boyds, Maryland; and Terrence Devon Taylor, a/k/a Scoop and T, 28, of Clinton, Maryland.

Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Stephen M. Schenning announced the sentence, highlighting the collaborative effort of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) – Washington and New Jersey Field Divisions – and the Montgomery County Police Department. This wasn’t a localized problem. According to the plea agreement, from at least March 2014 to May 2016, the defendants were pushing poison across state lines, peddling heroin and cocaine in New Jersey and Maryland. The Wright brothers, operating out of New Jersey, allegedly supplied their brother Nikko in Maryland, who then oversaw a network of street-level dealers.

The consequences of this operation weren’t just theoretical. Two Maryland dealers involved in the conspiracy have confessed that the heroin they distributed directly led to overdose deaths within the state. This wasn’t just about moving product; it was about shattered lives and grieving families. The feds are clearly sending a message: profiting from addiction carries a steep price. All members of the conspiracy have now pled guilty, signaling a full unraveling of the operation.

So far, Matthew Joseph Hochman received a 63-month sentence, and Clayton Dion Hollywood Wright was sentenced to 66 months. The remaining defendants are awaiting sentencing in the coming weeks and months. Schenning praised the DEA’s multi-jurisdictional work, acknowledging the substantial contributions of agents in both Maryland and New Jersey. He also extended thanks to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the United States Marshal Service, and several county police departments for their assistance.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael T. Packard and Ray D. McKenzie prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case, receiving support from their colleagues in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey. This case underscores the continued need for aggressive law enforcement efforts to dismantle these networks and stem the flow of deadly drugs into our communities. The Grimy Times will continue to follow the sentencing of the remaining defendants in this case.”
