Honan reportedly opened the bag while on her way to the subway and saw a red envelope containing at least one $100 bill and several $20 bills. THE CITY reports that Honan called Greco, who said she had left the area. When Honan said she had to return the money, Greco suggested they meet in Chinatown. According to THE CITY, Honan texted Greco asking when she could return the cash but did not receive a response.
THE CITY interviewed Greco later that same day, and she reportedly tried to apologize multiple times, saying she had made "a mistake." Greco reportedly told the publication that it was "a culture thing" and that she "just wanted to be her friend."
The publication said that it contacted the Department of Investigation (DOI) after the incident.

Greco is no stranger to law enforcement and has been under federal investigation for some time. The FBI raided her Bronx home in February 2024 amid reports that Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign conspired with the Turkish government to raise funds. She later resigned from her position as the city’s director of Asian American affairs.
According to Fox 5, the DOI is also investigating claims that Greco pressured a campaign volunteer to do personal tasks in exchange for a City Hall job.
Fox News Digital reached out to Greco and Adams’ campaign for comment but did not get a response in time for publication.
