In addition to the prison sentence, Abrams was also fined $264,300.

These sentences serve as a warning to others who may be considering engaging in illegal drug activities.

The fines imposed on both Abrams and Dash are substantial, underscoring the financial repercussions of drug trafficking. In addition to serving time in prison, individuals convicted of drug trafficking must also pay hefty fines, further adding to the consequences of their actions. This financial penalty serves as an additional deterrent for individuals who may be tempted to participate in drug trafficking activities.

Overall, Magistrate Sam’s rulings in these drug trafficking cases emphasize the seriousness of these offenses and the harsh penalties that perpetrators can expect to face.
