"Blue River" Is one of New York biggest drug busts in the mid 80's. The name "Blue River" was given after the DA found 120 trash bags filled with blue ecstasy pills floating in the Hudson River. The drugs were part of a shipment that was delivered to Lorenzo Nichols, who was considered to be one of the biggest drug lords in New York in the 80's. Nichols was shipping the pills to be distributed by local drug dealers that were operating from one of the largest orthodox Jewish communities.

The pills were discovered after a young Orthodox Jew Benyamin Levi, who was forced to hide the drugs in his bakery, reported his rabbi to the NYPD. Levi had to relocate on a witness protection program and his location  is unknown.
