He Wants Bail. Court Documents Describe $150,000, 30 Kilograms of Cocaine and a Bejewelled Red Necklace.
Atna Ohna, identified in court documents as a hitman for Ryan Wedding's purported drug-smuggling network, is asking to be released on bail and is scheduled for a two-day hearing in Quebec Superior Court in Montreal beginning Wednesday. The man, who goes by the aliases Tupac and Kim Jong-Un, was arrested a year ago over allegations he helped Wedding, the accused cocaine kingpin, set up the assassination of an FBI informant.
Court documents say he was purportedly given $150,000 in cash, plus 30 kilograms of cocaine and a bejewelled red necklace, for his role in tracking down the victim, Jonathan Acebedo-Garcia.

The accounting is the memorable part: if the documents are right, the payment for finding a person arrived as cash, as inventory and as jewellery — a payout that is half payroll, half trophy.
The nicknames — Tupac and Kim Jong-Un, per court documents — do a lot of atmospheric work for a file whose actual question is custody: he is asking for bail, a year after his arrest over an alleged role in setting up a killing.
