So this is nine acres in a teardown, basically a hunting camp in central Maine that is now lawfully owned by an individual who may or may not exist in Southeast China, which just so happens to be the area where the legit triad criminal activity is most intense.

It was weird, right?

A property transfer.

What guy in China has just been thinking, you know, I want nine acres and a teardown in Corinna, Maine.

But what caught my eye was at the bottom of it.

There's a line for tax document preparer.

And the name there was Paul Mills.

And I was like, well, hold on a second, that's the governor's brother.

But maybe that's a different Paul Mills, but the address matched.

The address was the address for his attorney office.

So the governor's brother was the lawyer for a real estate transfer for a known illicit Chinese drug house where the code enforcement officer in that area is on the record saying this is an illegal Chinese drug house.

and he helped transfer it into the custody of a Chinese national living in China.

And this came just days after a series of raids by multiple sheriff's departments in the area.

So it almost looked like they were trying to protect this property by moving it into the official ownership of somebody who would be beyond the reach of the local police, state police, or even the FBI, because they actually provided an address in China.

And further investigation found that Mr. Mills has a number of clients who are involved in the marijuana business in the state of Maine.

And the governor won't comment on that.

The governor won't say whether she's had any communications or conversations with her brother about it.

I had a 10-minute phone call with Paul Mills, and he talked about that property and did say that he was involved in it.

And I couldn't remember who asked him to be involved in it.

Did tell me that he didn't have anyone in his office who speaks Cantonese, which I thought was kind of funny.
