Feds say marijuana cash has been used to build and run The Complex music venue in Salt Lake City

The operators of one of Salt Lake City’s busier concert venues, The Complex, are being charged by federal prosecutors with building and running the business using more than $1 million earned selling marijuana.

The accusation is part of a 13-part indictment announced Monday against three people — Gabriel Seth Elstein, 33, of Park City; Angela Christina Elstein, 32, of Park City; and Seth Dale Gordon, 48, of St. George — that alleges the three conspired to transport hundreds of pounds of marijuana from California to Utah and then across the country. Dumbles Holdings LLC, a company managed by the Elsteins, is also named in the indictment.
