Overview

• THE CITY reporter Katie Honan found a red envelope with at least one $100 bill and several $20 bills inside an opened bag of potato chips after a Harlem campaign event.
• Honan turned the items over to her editors, and an investigator from the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office retrieved the bag and envelope that evening.
• The Adams campaign said Mayor Eric Adams had no prior knowledge and suspended Greco from all volunteer campaign activities.
• Greco apologized and called the gesture a mistake, while her attorney said her intent was purely innocent.
• Greco has been under investigation since 2023, including a city DOI probe and 2024 FBI raids, with federal prosecutors examining alleged straw-donor schemes tied to her fundraising.
