Winnie Greco, a former key aide to NYC Mayor Eric Adams, has mysteriously disappeared. Sources suggest she may be cooperating with federal authorities investigating the mayor and other City Hall officials.

The timing coincides with the arrest of Ingrid Lewis-Martin, another Adams aide and close friend of Greco, on bribery and money laundering charges. Lewis-Martin's alleged actions involved securing favors for businessmen in exchange for bribes, including a $100,000 Porsche for her DJ son.

Speculation includes the possibility she is in China, her birthplace. Greco's past ties to the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department are also under scrutiny.
The investigation involves allegations of Greco using workers to conceal campaign donations, using straw donors for events she organized, and making promises to a campaign volunteer in exchange for renovations. Federal prosecutors are also investigating Adams' private emails concerning his trips to China, which were organized by Greco.
