Extremely hard work by the Santa Rosa Police department has paid off… as they announced that after a year-long, multi-state investigation, they have arrested the Santa Rosa men responsible for a $7.8 million dollar phone and money laundering scam. The ring leader, 21-year old Alexander Knigge was arrested on November 22nd, the rest of his crew, Healdsburg resident 22-year old Brileigh Blosser; and Santa Rosa residents 23-year old Anthony Chand, and 22-year old Calvin Valledor, were arrested late last month. They were part of a scam linked to India, in which they were sent funds to launder through hundreds of bank accounts, businesses and purchases locally. The scam involved bilking elderly residents nationwide out of money, for some it was their life savings. They will appear in court on January 9th.
