"Neighborhood News: The Cannabis Crackdown Begins" is an article published in the New York journal on May 20, 2024. The article discusses the start of "Operation Padlock to Protect," an initiative led by the Adams administration in New York City to crack down on illegal cannabis shops. Since the legalization of recreational marijuana in 2021, the city has seen an influx of both legal and illegal weed shops. The first raids targeted shops near schools and houses of worship, those selling to underage buyers, and those accused of selling harmful products. The goal of the operation is to close as many illegal businesses as possible within 30 days. The article includes a photograph of a raid at the New City Smoke Shop, where the owner was handcuffed and arrested. [Extracted from the article]

If Perelman could sell the company, he might be able to eke out his $50 million or so stake in cash, or in the stock of an acquiring company. Normally, a company could choose to ignore such an unsolicited "credit bid", especially one that offers nothing for the company's equity. Perelman still owned 87 percent of the company, a stake that was worth around $100 million on the day of the announcement. Other companies that Perelman used to own or control through MacAndrews & Forbes are long gone, including AM General, the maker of the Humvee; Deluxe Entertainment, a postproduction film services company; Merisant, a manufacturer of noncaloric sweeteners; and Scientific Games, a leading purveyor of lottery games and sports betting tools. FEATURES In May 1989, four years after he shocked Wall Street by buying the cosmetics company Revlon for $2.7 billion, Ronald Perelman, then 46, was named America's richest man by Institutional Investor.
