NYC kingpin nicknamed 'Ghost' who ran $10K-a-week Times Square drug ring had sentence tossed by Joe Biden

Johnny Perez, a notorious drug dealer known as 'Ghost,' was released from prison following sentence commutations granted by former President Joe Biden. He was part of a significant drug operation in Times Square, described as a '24-hour open air bazaar.' The operation featured multiple shifts managing an estimated $10,000-a-week in crack sales. Law enforcement officials expressed frustration over the leniency given to criminals like Perez, highlighting the negative impact on victims suffering from addiction and poverty.

Authorities called the brazen $10,000-a-week crack operation a '24-hour open air bazaar operating in around-the-clock shifts at 43rd Street and Eighth Avenue.'
