FAFO

Boom! In 2024, the brother of Maines Governor, Janet Mills, helped transfer a nine-acre black market cannabis grow to a Chinese national living in Guangdong province amidst the proliferation of illegal Chinese marijuana grows in Maine. Her brother did this 13 days after it was raided by DHS agents.

According to a leaked Department of Homeland Security memo, Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) control and operate more than 270 illegal marijuana cultivation and trafficking facilities throughout Maine, and the proceeds from those illicit activities are used to finance fentanyl trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activities.

A Chinese national living in the Guangdong Province, China, became the proud owner of the “fixer upper” in Penobscot County in thanks, in part, to title transfer services provided by Paul H. Mills, the eldest brother of Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D).

Paul Mills, 71, is the founder and managing partner of the Mills & Mills law firm, located at 163 Main Street in Farmington. People familiar with the real estate transfer process in Penobscot County said it would be uncommon for Mills — or any attorney based in Franklin County — to handle title transfers in Corinna.
