This seems reasonable from the show, but I wonder if there's
a continuity glitch in "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer".
The diary makes it appear that Leo's the chief drug runner;
it only mentions Hank once, in connection with his arrest for
manslaughter.

The part we know about was that Josie hired him to kill Andrew
Packard for $90,000.  My guess is that Hank's other "business"
was entirely with Ben.

Ben's the top banana of organized crime in Twin Peaks.
He seems to be manipulating both Josie and Catherine to suit
his own purposes at the mill.
