Federal agents in the US busted young Guyanese businessman and promoter, Ghalee Khan and another man identified as Danvor Griffith on Sunday after a cocaine drop was allegedly made at a New York location.
Ghalee Khan
The two were reportedly being tracked after leaving Guyana, but were allowed to leave the JFK airport to make the drop before they were busted. Khan was being watched as he travelled on a flight from Trinidad to the US.
WRHM Capitol News reported last night that Guyanese Danvor Griffith, age 38, appeared before the Brooklyn Federal court on Monday on narcotics related charges and was granted US$250,000 bail but on the condition that his mother sign over her house to the US government by early yesterday morning.
Court records indicated that Khan, age 31, left Guyana on Saturday last and arrived in the US on Sunday. Federal agents had detected cocaine stashed in the rails and handles of his suitcase but allowed him to leave the airport to make the delivery.
According to the Capitol News report, a major shipment of luxury items within the past two weeks and the arrest and conviction of an associate in Georgetown resulted in the Khan and Griffith being placed on the authorities’ radar.
Khan, who owns a clothing store in the city, is expected to make a court appearance tomorrow.
THERE WE GO AGAIN, THESE ARE THE FELLAS THAT GIVES GT A BAD NAME, NOT THAT OTHER COUNTRIES DON’T BUT WE HAVE TO SPEAK FOR OURSELVES.
TAKE A LOOK ARUOND GUYANA AND WEIGH THE LUXURY OF THESE THESE FELLAS WHO DO NO HAVE TO PUNCH THE TIME CLOCK TO START THE DAY.
BY THE WAY ,WHAT IT THE COST OF THE H2 HUMMER?
u cant afford a H2 HUMMER ANDY so dont worry bout it.
I do hope that the US Government enforces the RICO act in cases such as this and all subsequent property and assets seized.
…. i’m left to ponder the sincerity and robust claim for the rights of the indigenous ?????? a people for whom there is seeminly very little respect ,, from some in this forum ,, who took licence to hurl verbal vitriol at the Foreign Affairs
Minister in GUYANA !,,,,,,,
would it be better if the air port was named burnham’s ,, or hoyte’s ,, ???????? ,,
don’t we already have enough disgrace to the land we love ,, without further reminding ourselves and visitors to our country of the nat’l disgrace that is the pnc ,,
such sentiments are archaic ,, and non progressive !………………
Where is the moderator on this post? You talk about striking “gratuitous and incendiary references ” and, deleting comments for taste. Well, I find Mr. Tannassee comments very distasteful. But wait, his comments are about the PNC and its former leaders, so such comments are justified. Remarkable!
It seems that pointed, insightful comments directed to certain individuals are removed. Comments that exposes these individuals for who they really are.
Sooner or later, your ‘comments’ forum will become just another kindergarten exercise as thoughtful, insighful individuals will dismiss it .
Blow your nose where you stumped your toe. The PNC under Burnham, a true leader, & Hoyte, who I hold responsible for the current madministration in place, has done nothing but SERVE ALL GUYANESE HONESTLY. It matters not how you may see it. To me & those of like mind your opinion in this regard means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
what a shame on guyana.
what shame on guyana? y dont u take a look to the headline news and see the crime in gt?
Speedy, you said it well,
also the Airport staff from the ground staff to the customs, need to be scrutinized, all of them get a cut. from these so call business men. and the poor traders , spending their honest cash, get the ‘roughing up.”
…..tryin to invoke the attention of the moderator ,, hardly seems to be an adult reason for seekin to avoid u from knowing the truth and dealing with it ,, the truth is a bitch ! here’s what the Mahatma said abt truth ,, there are many others who spoke on truth and it’s virtues ,, but i choose to reference Ghandi ,,, knowing the race hate that is eating at the cells of ur hearts when his achievements are voiced ,, and that many of u can’t handle the truth abt the fact that those who u choose to put on pedestals ,, r not recognised for originality ,,, but anyway here’s what the MAHATMA said abt truth,,,,,,,
” Truth resides in every human heart ,, and one has to search there for it ,, and to be guided by truth as one sees it —- but no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of the truth ” !…..
Mohandas K. Ghandi ….
in the words of Clarence Darrow ,, i would like to let u know some abt me !,,,,
Darrow said ,, ” I have suffered
from being misunderstood
but i would have suffered ,, a hell of a lot more
if i had been understood !…….
and as for ur rebuttals ,, u need to sack it up ,, and find some place else to sell it … if u have not yet woken up ,, it’s no longer the paramount party ,, and the kabaka ,, with his regal reign ,, and his royal court of jesters ,, this is democracy ,, in yuh face deal with it !,,
right on the nail, lol.

Thank God that even if you had any desire to effect REAL CHANGE or serve your people, not even the most gracious and now roundly defeated John McCain, could not find a place for you in his cabinet.
You get with the programme and just suck-it-up!!!!!!!!
Tannassee, you quote the Mahatma with his lofty words; have you really tried to analyze what he said?
” Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search there for it, and to be guided by truth as one sees it —- but no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of the truth” !…..
The great Mahatma was unwittingly saying that there is no truth outside of what the seeker perceives or believes exists – philosophically, that is irresponsible. If we are all allowed to formulate our own “truth” then we have what the Greeks described as chaos.
Parmenides, in particular, would have referred to it as an “absurdity.” “Absurdities” he argues, “describe nothing real.” It is like trying to think of a “nice round circle with four ninety-degree angles at its corners….”
In addition, your quotation in not relevant to any point made in this blog
I understand that you desire to annoy others with gratuitous quotes from your beloved Mahatma, but try to find something that’s on point, otherwise you embarrass both yourself and Mr. Gandhi – whose name, by the way, you misspelled.
And another thing: you have an impressive vocabulary, but it is not supported by your knowledge of proper syntax and grammar. I can recommend a good grammar book, if you ask me nicely.
I can be wrong but what gross income can a 31 yr entertainer make in Guyana ? To travel to the US an how did he qualify for a Visa ? Age—->Assets———>Total income———-> profession ??????
does not add up to me, Glad another Guyanese off the streets on US with them dirty money and Caribbean should ban them for life for entering any member state—–
well spoken and he should spend 20yrs in jail.
ha ha evileyes you can be funny sometimes… how you can tell poor tiger to stay here and no go there!! lol …
but then again Timehri Int’l Airport.. should not have been renamed… (history)…
LFSB mr evil eyes ( when we all take out race) was an orator… represented not only Guyana but the caribbean ( remember the day when BIM almost sank off the Caribbean surface and it was Guyana that had to supply mud to build it up!! and remember the respectful light Guyana was once held in by our Caribbean conterparts… it was for no other reason why Guyana was made the location of the Caricom SCRET…. despite our political views .. guyanese are VERY intelligent people but it is amazing want that four letter word R-A-C-E can bring us to… we can say some of the most DUNCE things at time. LIKE LFSB did not do ONe positive thing for Guyana … no wonder he is in the history books like Dr. Jagan and now Obama… well I guess history only documents people that did NOTHING according to some racial view points on Mr. Burnham…
YEA …YEA..YEAH….. another criminal, gets caught, ….. but its the Govt. fault he’s a dope pusher, ….poor chap, cant get work, can’t make ends meet, can, get Prado’ poor marginalised comrade. …….. I have seen the signs put up all over guyana, ….NO VACANCIES….. for teachers. firemen, sanitation workers, gardeners, cane cutters ricefield workers, public servants, …. wonder what are some of the b BIG jOBS YOU gUYS ARE DOING OVERSEAS…Hmmmmm.
