    An Auckland man who became a millionaire during New Zealand's 'legal high' period, has been jailed in the US


    Matthew Wielenga - once the so-called 'Kronic King' - pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

    He planned to import, to the US, a synthetic cannabis product similar to that which earned him millions.

    The father of two has been sentenced to 51 months behind bars.
