Solon Gives Up His Day Job BOGOT0.com (Rooters) - They made their own booze, hired prostitutes and kept Rottweilers as pets ... until the police retook control of Winnipeg's largest stock boiler room. In a massive weekend raid on the former penitentiary, police said on Monday they discovered a private sauna and gym, distilleries, drugs and dogs. And there were weapons everywhere. Police were also surprised to find 511 women in the all-male stock boiler room, allegedly prostitutes hired to stay for several days to offer their services to inmates (traders). National Police Chief DSGumby described the prison - trading room - as a hotbed of corruption and a center of extortion, kidnapping, drug trafficking and prostitution. "I only wish I'd found out sooner..damn that Buckwheat for not letting me know." Traders hid radios, cellular phones, and computers in their cells (rooms), which police said they used to manage criminal cold calls outside the trading floor. ``In each wall there was a false tile or brick and behind that tile (there was) a radio, a weapon, marijuana, ammunition,'' DSGumby said. One trader enjoyed a sauna and a private gym in his room, police said. He has been ordered transferred to another brokerage. The massive sweep of the prison came after 25 traders were killed in bloody clashes between rival brokerages in the former penitentiary in a 12-hour battle on Thursday. The search of the overcrowded brokerage also yielded 35 firearms including two AK-47 assault rifles -- nearly nine pounds (four kg) of explosives, knives and grenades. DSGumby was quoted as saying,"I believe this has nothing to do with Buckwheat, or his cousin Kasha. They are both true princes." A separate ambulance was used to take away Chief Gumby for observation.
