Winnie Greco was outed by news outlet The City for trying to give cash surreptitiously tucked inside a Herr's Sour Cream & Onion ripple potato chip bag to one of its reporters.

The volunteer, Winnie Greco, was a former fundraiser for Adams whose house was searched by federal agents last year amid multiple federal corruption probes into the mayor and some of his aides. Greco resigned as the mayor’s director of Asian affairs not long after her home was searched.
