Huy Anh "Henry" Lam, 38, of Worcester was sentenced to seven years in prison and four years supervised release on Wednesday in U.S. District Court for participating in a four-year narcotics trafficking and money laundering scheme. 

Judge Timothy Hillman also forfeited Lam's interest in a house on Whisper Drive, three cars, a boat, bank accounts, and other property while ordering Lam to pay a money judgment of $500,000. 

Back in February of 2015, Lam pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana, a money laundering conspiracy, a structuring conspiracy, structuring transactions to evade reporting requirements, money laundering, and unlawful monetary transactions.

The Crime 

From 2010-2014, Lam trafficked at least 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, generating millions of dollars in proceeds. He then used the proceeds to purchase two pieces of property in Worcester and luxury vehicles, including a 2012 Range Rover Sport SUV, 2013 Cadillac Escalade, and a 2013 Nissan GT-R custom built sports car. 

Others Involved 

Judge Hillman previously sentenced codefendants Nhi Ai Thi Lam to 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release, Diemphuc Thi Lam to one year and one day in prison and three years of supervised release.
