After news of the alleged Penn State fraternity coke ring broke earlier this week, individual complaints released by the Office of the Attorney General in Pennsylvania provide more specifics into each suspect’s alleged involvement.
Those 14 complaints detail an alleged hierarchy within the cocaine-trafficking operation, from accused suppliers and distributors to fraternity members allegedly tasked with weighing, packaging and delivering cocaine.
Here are the suspects and their alleged roles.
All defendants are innocent until proven guilty.
1. Agostino “Pablo Pledgescobar” Abbatiello
Alleged position: “Top of food chain” according to prosecutors.
Hometown: Westbury, New York
Age: 24
Major: Accounting
Fraternity: Sigma Chi
He reportedly made the Dean’s list at the university and “had a passion for numbers and financial storytelling” the New York Post reports. He is facing numerous felony charges.
2. Thomas Robinson
Alleged position: Downstream Logistics/Distribution
Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Age: 22
Major: Human Resources and Management
Fraternity: Delta Upsilon
Robinson allegedly worked closely with Abbatiello and distributed cocaine from his frat to Penn State students, using Snapchat to sell to others. Detectives relied on confidential informants to bust the operation â an informant who purchased drugs from Robinson blew the operation open. He ultimately gave up his partner in crime â Abbatiello â once arrested.

4. Lars Zeepvat
