Overview
- Rico Deville Buice, known as FBG Casino, and codefendant David Estevan Montillo Diaz remain in federal custody following a Nov. 14 search of a Forest Park, Georgia Airbnb by FBI, DEA, and Clayton County Police under Operation Take Back America.
- Both men are charged by federal criminal complaint with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl, a count that carries a 10‑year mandatory minimum and up to life in prison if convicted.
- Agents report seizing 21 kilograms of fentanyl and about $380,000 in suspected proceeds, including roughly $300,000 in a cardboard box, $80,000 in a designer bag, and about $4,000 on Buice.
- Investigators say they also recovered a Glock 19 pistol, a money counter, a food sealer, and other packaging materials consistent with wholesale distribution.
- Prosecutors seek detention without bail, citing alleged understated income, a previously owned $4 million residence and luxury cars, and filings asserting Diaz was selling drugs to Buice during the raid, while FBI Atlanta’s Paul Brown called the seizure a direct hit on traffickers.
