A woman whose sister is married to one of the most significant federal drug informants in Chicago history rushed to cancel an order for a $3,100 exercise bike system after learning of a new federal investigation into their drug money, a prosecutor said Thursday.
The disclosure came as Bianca Finnigan, 32, became the second person to plead guilty to charges also leveled against Vivianna Lopez, who is the wife of Pedro Flores, and Valerie Gaytan, who is the wife of Margarito Flores. Finnigan admitted she helped her sister, Vivianna Lopez, spend drug money, including on airfare and private school tuition — and the exercise bike.
