A Lowell woman is now awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to charges involving drug distribution and money laundering that extended from Massachusetts to a Virginia prison. According to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Sathtra Em, 36, submitted her plea yesterday on charges including one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute MDMA and buprenorphine, and two counts of money laundering conspiracy.
Em, implicated in a scheme to funnel drugs into the Buckingham Correctional Center in Dillwyn, Virginia, worked hand-in-hand with inmate Michael Mao to traffic substances like MDMA and Suboxone. Court documents, as obtained by officials, suggest she went as far to pay a prison guard, Kenneth Owen, a sum of $1,600 to smuggle these parcels directly to Mao. Between December 2019 and May 2021, Em's efforts to conceal drugs in seemingly mundane items – such as magazines with hidden compartments – allowed this narcotic enterprise to flourish. In an effort to collect on Mao's drug debts, Em was also reported to have employed various electronic payment platforms, like Cash App and PayPal, methodically reaching out to inmates' relatives to settle the illicit transactions.
In a distinctly separate thread of her illegal undertakings, the Department of Justice revealed that Em purchased a property in Lowell's Centralville neighborhood, serving as a front to launder cash proceeds from drug trafficking. Her housemate, Sarath Yut, identified as a gang leader and regional drug trafficker, fed Em with $1,500 monthly to deposit as mortgage payments. This operation laundered a staggering $76,775 of drug proceeds for the Centralville home from October 2016 to January 2021.
As the wheel of justice slowly grinds toward resolution, Chief Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV has set Em's sentencing for the upcoming date of July 11. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years behind bars for the drug conspiracy charge, with a possible fine scaling as high as $1 million. The money laundering conspiracy could similarly plant her in prison for another 20 years, accompanied by a hefty fine of $500,000, or double the property amount involved, depending on which is greater. This case unfolds under the broader span of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces operation, aiming to critically undermine the infrastructure of high-level criminal organizations threatening the United States.
Earlier in October 2023, the other end of this conspiracy saw Yut convicted to 15 years of imprisonment for his role in the drug trafficking and money laundering offenses. While the story of these criminal endeavors heads towards closure, federal officials, including Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy and FBI Special Agent Jodi Cohen, continue to piece together the remnants of these fractured lives interrupted by the greed and the lure of illicit gain.
