A volunteer adviser to New York Mayor Eric Adams’s re-election campaign, Winnie Greco, was suspended on Wednesday after she attempted to give a reporter cash concealed in a potato-chip bag following a campaign event in Harlem, according to the mayor’s staff and the news outlet involved. Greco, who previously served as Adams’s director of Asian affairs at City Hall and is one of his most prolific fund-raisers, handed THE CITY reporter Katie Honan an opened bag of Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion chips that contained a red envelope with more than $100, including a $100 bill and several $20 bills. Honan declined the money and her editors immediately notified the city’s Department of Investigation. Campaign spokesman Todd Shapiro said Greco holds no formal role and has been barred from all volunteer activities, adding that Adams "has always demanded the highest ethical and legal standards." Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have contacted the newspaper’s lawyers and collected the envelope as part of their review. Greco’s lawyer, Steven Brill, said the exchange was meant as a gesture of friendship common in Chinese culture but acknowledged "this looks odd." Greco has been under federal scrutiny since the FBI raided her homes last year in a separate inquiry into possible illegal campaign fund-raising tied to Chinese donors.
