PAC supporter admitted illegal cigarette sales
One of the top donors to the political action committee run by G. Steven Pigeon is a Seneca Nation businessman who took a corporate guilty plea to felony crimes in Missouri last year. Aaron J. Pierce admitted that one of his companies illegally bought and sold contraband cigarettes and agreed to pay $1 million in fines, forfeitures and judgements.
In April of this year, Pierce forfeited another $400,000 to settle a different case involving contraband cigarettes in Buffalo’s federal court.
