Hopefully, like bitcoin, arrests plunge going forward. Want to get the dangerous drugs off of the streets? Simple cheap solution. Legalize them for all adults to buy at their local pharmacy. Woosh, fent laced products disappear along with OD's but private prison system stocks plunge and our government apparently can't have any of that.

Red Bull used to contain speed, like not all that long ago, and Coca Cola's name is because they used to literally use cocaine to make their cola. But, at least in America's case, if they made it legal to have drugs(even while keeping dealing illegal) what would the police plant to justify their bs? You expect them to just let people vote? That's ridiculous.

They really do need to make stronger movements towards decriminalizing possession though(I'd like the same for distribution too but..). A dude with a gram isn't ruining America, but his life being ruined due to it.. I would understand a few fires.

red bull never contained amphetamines as far as i can find.

coca-cola actually contained ecgonine, which is a coca alkaloid and precursor to cocaine. ecgonine can have a very mild stimulant effect, but not nearly as much as the caffeine content

im pretty sure classic recipe uses coca leaf minus the caine.... so yeah prolly ecognine is left still... big deal. at first it had cocaine tho... but redbull speed? pffft i drank it like right when it came out and it never had any diff recipe as years progressed. where did you hear that mumbo jumbo? prolly parent invented shit to keep kids from drinking it...

Looks like they did not get into his old xmpp. Sadly if he is in federal custody we have no means of making contact.

His customer base touches many of the small to medium size vendors operating right now. I would avoid the domestic market for those products for a bit.

Also c'mon dont keep money counter and large amounts of cash at a pressing site..... The one good thing is if he doesn't co-operate which tbh they probably will seince they are already a felon because otherwise they going to get the book thrown at them but that 45k can be used for private counsel who can hopefully work something out but assume the worst everyone he has priors

I hate to say it but WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING? So fucking sloppy. Going into the PO with garbage bags full of packs?!? I mean seriously, what the fuck? Maybe they just got so confident that they were untouchable that they stopped thinking about their OPSEC but wow i can't believe that a vendor like this would step foot within a mile of a post office. If they were this sloppy with their own OPSEC I can't even imagine how they were with their customer info - definitely clean house if you're a medium/large customer of theirs.

21. TAYLOR, driving the Fusion, exited the driveway of 5852 Florida Street and was followed closely by an older red Chevy Trail Blazer driven by a heavy- set Hispanic male. TAYLOR drove through southwest Detroit neighborhoods and side streets, followed by the red Blazer. Close surveillance was terminated, as it appeared TAYLOR was executing counter-surveillance techniques.

It's really not too difficult. Step one. Polce order a pack undercover. Step two. Police open pack, verify drugs, and trace the package's movement. Step three. The police find the location the package was delivered from. Step four. They check the cameras, the names on the packages, the addresses on the packages, and see if any connect. Step 5. Once an individual has been identified on camera as a suspect, they track down your identity whether it be staking out the post office, your home, your job, anything. If they have a hard time tracing you down, they order again. And then again. Until finally they can zero in on you as the primary suspect. It's basic police work. Just because we use Tor and Cryptocurrencies doesn't protect us from jack shit.

Instead,a smart vendor would cough up the extra cash to hire someone to mail the packages. Preferrably more than one person and not to ship from the same location more than once a month. Your runners mailing the packages will never be in direct contact with you, and they will never be anywhere near the stash house or your place of residence. Eventually the police is gonna grab one of em and then you just gotta hope they dont snitch. But it makes the police's job much harder the more complex your system becomes.

If you ordered at any point, consider that your information is probably saved. This is the oft not talked about, but known tactic of many vendors. Trade info of all customers if they are busted. That being said with a guy of this magnitude that operated for this long, with thousands of customers— consider yourself somewhat clear if you ordered small time a few orders. You still need to clean every speck of your home and electronics and chill for a good while. Now if you ordered >10,000 bars per pack or so, be worried and take precautions as everyone is warning, because you are being watched/investigated 100%. No doubt about it. Same with the white he was selling.

Must have been hellcat or one of his very large scale trusted customers he had been working with for a long time. One of them must have dropped info. Or a runner/shipper did.

Alternatively, the money was found and traced.

Good luck to everyone, be safe and take this seriously no matter the amounts.

Conspiracy theory: I wonder if this could have anything to do with that big bust in North Carolina that happened in June that we never heard any more about. Hundreds of thousands of pressed Xanax, thousands of USPS boxes ect….

Sure buddy, 300,000 Xanax and coke just like OC. They said they found fentanyl but that’s most likely not true. Probably just a rc benzo he was using to press. (Clonazolam, Bromozolam, Flualp ect) He seems to have all the colors that OC sells…I know it says he has his own press but still… a lot of similarities here. And to my knowledge no one ever figured out exactly who this guy was. But he was definately someone in the DN world with all that product and usps boxes. Could have been a clearnet TG, Discord seller but still strange no one figured out who it was. Maybe was connected to OC in some slight way…maybe was a shipper, OC was maybe his source for some things. Could speculate forever.

What the fuck? This new information... I have more questions than I did before. So they basically had them dead to rights, for many years, but continued the the surveillance operation in full swing, even using helicopters, made no arrests, again for years, and then they let Taylor out on a 10k unsecured bond? What in the fuck is going on here? How many millions of dollars did this operation cost lmao. Tax payers money well spent, one of the main suspects let loose for 10k. Incredibly fishy and retarded. This seems very off. Even for drug task force dick heads.

That still doesn't make much sense. Maybe it might explain her bond figure but not the entire case. Ostensibly they would have allowed the operation to continue in order to identify suppliers and downstream dealers and/or users. That doesn't take years and years. Especially when they seemingly cracked their opsec almost instantly. This wasn't the type organization in The Wire, it was a few people going from point A to B to C with trash bags full of drugs on a clockwork schedule lol.

What you're likely going to see from a vendor like OC, is that he will provide information on the largest dealers that he was supplying, waive his indictment, and take a plea bargain. It's very unlikely the DEA will reveal their investigative tactics in a case this large. If you look up his case on a website like Pacer, you'll only see a few documents, which will not include an indictment. If they do upload an indictment, it won't contain any degree of detail aside from "Mr. Smith operated the vendor account from 1/2015 to 1/2022, and sold X amount of dollars worth of illegal narcotics."

Request for Sealing
It is respectfully requested that the Court issue an order sealing, until further order of the Court, all papers submitted in support of the requested search warrant, including the application, this affidavit, the attachments, and the requested search warrant. I believe that sealing these documents is necessary because the information to be seized is relevant to an ongoing investigation, and any disclosure of the information at this time may endanger the life or physical safety of an individual, cause flight from prosecution, cause destruction of or tampering with evidence, cause intimidation of potential witnesses, or otherwise seriously jeopardize an investigation.
Premature disclosure of the contents of the application, this affidavit, the attachments, and the requested search warrant may adversely affect the integrity of the investigation.

No one ever ordered from hellcat. Everyone thought that they were ordering from OC so you can call him a hacker but we can just agree to disagree. A case could be made that he scammed OC though.

"With that logic you're saying if a market freezes withdrawals and keep the market running with the intention of stealing those funds that's not considered an exit scam?"

Oh, you mean like ASAP recently did?? Hmm, thought that they resumed operations. But when does one determine intent to steal, while withdrawals are frozen or AFTER they leave?
Yes, I am saying that until they are gone they did not exit scam regardless of appearances.

We simply have different definitions of exit scams. Hellcat was caught and was banned so technically he did not leave. He was thrown out. He scammed the vendors but did not exit scam. Empire market exit scammed. People knew they were storing funds on Empire and Empire shut the doors and stole them.
GBUSA exit scammed. People knew they were buying from him and he simply stopped sending packs that people paid FE for.
No one thought that they were buying from Hellcat except for vendors who thought that they were buying legit stores.

You are correct about Hellcat's account not being banned. I wrongly assumed that HB took his account with his subdread. Regardless, he was not vending to customers.

Well then you apparently have information that I do not. I was corrected in that his dread account still exists so who is to say that he is still not creating onions for those unaware of the OC story. Perhaps he is dangling the prospect of onion shops to clearnet vendors now? IDK. The fact however is that he was or is an onion shop creator and most buyers probably were unaware that he even existed, thought that they were doing DD's with OC. He was never the vendor. This is OC's subdread. Hellcat was not even a moderator. OC customers naturally assumed that onion listings on the sidebar here were to be trusted. They wound up scammed because Hellcat scammed OC. Had OC remained in business his plan was to repay victims, why? Because OC knows that he was scammed.

This was totally sourced from my imagination. Hellcat was recently exposed as having scammed OC's store customers so one would assume that they had some discussions during the building of his stores. Who knows how much info OC revealed to him. Who knows if Hellcat wanted revenge? Probably bogus but as I originally stated it came to mind.

It isn't far fetched. OC has to chat with hellcat about how he wants his store setup and any changes along the way during their business relationship. Frequent chats can cause trust to develop and even friendships. Assuming OC trusted him to create the vendor store not far fetched that they might have discussed problems with his mercedes benz or his dog, breed named having regular flea problems and the view from , fill in state name , is beautiful right now. Before you know it Hellcat is trusted with OC's whole life story then Hellcat is sent packing. Disgrunteled clients seeking retribution is not unheard of. This is all a work of fiction and OC could just have a dark cloud following him this year, first scammed by hellcat and then busted so at this point it is a complete work of fiction, never claimed otherwise from the start.

Fun, I was just having this conversation with someone the other day. Any linguist will tell you that the correct way to use language is whatever way effectively communicates with the other person. Using slang or eubonics or fucking Tamarian metaphor is all perfectly fine, as long as the individual you are speaking to understands your intent English is a dynamic language that changes all the time. Cool is no longer exclusively a reference to lack of thermal energy. "Literally" can be used to mean metaphorically, even if Websters doesnt recognize it officially that way yet. Literally can also be used as an exclamation, and everyone understands the intent, even if it isn't what the word means. "Irregardless" can be used in the same way as a profanity can - to perk up the ears of listeners..So to paraphrase Jello, grammar nazis fuck off.

Agree with you 100% I am open to some criticism. I've always had a chip on my shoulder for never completing my education despite attending a prestigious school.

I do subscribe to the notion of addressing the audience and this context I don't think I was too far off despite sounding somewhat awkward in execution.

I do see bad grammar all the time, not only on Dread but in what you would think are professionally edited articles. More often it happens online and not in print which would be immutable once it hits the stands so to speak.

Not to be pendantic, although it's too late for that, I'm not a fan of the grammar Nazis but sometimes it's what you get when the point of the argument to begin with can't be contested. In this case, OC got caught proboably due to an OpSec failure from him or his group. Hopefully he makes it out intact with minimal damage but he would have to roll for that I think.

I would be wary of interacting with a vendor that had any kind of dealing with HellCat, they may not know it but HC which is a Dodge Charger derivative and official car of the PoPo, would have significant operational intel of that vendor including names and addresses of big volume buyers. Those were the people that were getting ripped off.

What would be the motivation? It's not like OC led the charge against him. He'd have to be delusional to enact revenge on a guy who justifiably booted him after discovering he'd been stealing from him.

Also hellcat's an aussie. I suppose it's always possible to involve himself with US LE for retribution purposes but I'm skeptical.

Wipe it and then sell it? Depends how large your orders were. I'm guessing not that big since you're talking about salvaging a computer.

I can't give you an answer to that. I do not know what their capability to retrieve data is. If you bought personal amounts a wild guess is that you are okay but if you were a reseller then smashing the SSD is cheap insurance.

Sorry but you are mistaken. OC was selling coke. That, rather than the clonazolam, was probably what attracted the attention.

He was a good guy and this war on drugs is a war on good citizens and a war against our freedoms. Remember prohibition? There is no common sense reason why some drugs result in lockup and other drugs, cigarettes and alcohol, can be legally purchased.

Also, dunno why but after eating 3 clams for years my body started rejecting them. It was terrifying. No one else was having issues but they had no effect on me. Dude refunded my purchase.

Cocaine is schedule 2 in the US. Clonazolam is unscheduled nationally in the US although state laws vary. Even when scheduled benzos are schedule 4 in the US.
Just a thought. Might just be the volume of bars. IDK

I think the more funds a vendor is making is a higher target with the type of drug being secondary (except for fent).

I agree that vendors who are able to fund the US Treasury are high priority targets but I also believe that the product sold is also a major trigger. IMHO if OC was all clonazolam all of the time, a research chemical that doesn't even fall under the Federal Analogue act which only applies to Schedule 1 and 2 analogues that he might still be operating. I believe that the combination of coke and cash were the draw.

Possession for personal use probably little to nothing but intent to distribute could cause problems because even though not scheduled also not meant for human consumption. I have no legal background though.

Counterfeiting drugs probably is a less serious charge than selling schedule 2 drug coke but I am not a lawyer.

If his drugs were showing up in Rite Aid pharmacies that might destabilize people's trust in big pharma but those buying from the street corner dealer who notice something not quite right are going to blame the dealer, not the drug company.

Hmm that’s interesting. Can anyone else confirm that OC369 doesn’t ship from this location..? Maybe he used to ship from somewhere else and moved to current location? I mean they did get the pill press, pills, coke, packaging, electronics ect. After years of surveillance you would think they had this case completely buttoned up and figured out. I just don’t see how OC the boss would be in a completely different state running his operation and these guys were just his grunts. More likely could be a reshipper lived in a different state and sent our packs for OC. After all this time seems the feds would have known. These guys aern’t idiots and have very sophisticated equipment and techniques at their disposal.

At the end of the day I never bought from him but never heard of him being known for great OPSEC particularly. Just a long time, fast, reliable shipper with quality presses.

Still this is pretty horrible though. He was on dread a good bit so you would think he knew about blue boxes ect.

To make an OpSec failure one must have an OpSec first. This is was obviously not the case. There was no OpSec.

There is a detroit news site that published the info, also linked in my post. The information is from the criminal complaint documents being released publicly. There will be bigger news sites picking it up shortly, probably preparing it with comments from involved agencies and so on, the documents were only released today.

After reading the complaint it seems obvious to me that he should have closed up shop as soon as he noticed a few domestic packages go missing which doesn't really happen too often. Stay vigilant everyone.

Edit: I haven't read the 2018 complaint yet

Exactly right. Too many times we see people chalk up "lost" packages to the USPS gods and figure its nothing. While mail does get lost, it is not very frequent. Sunny had packs the disappear the year leading up to his disappearance - including a large batch of custies who reported no packs received I think the october before his disappearance.

NPRX had same thing happen. I remember reading in the complaint that they followed him to PO, snatched up the packs he dropped, and they let the Express packs continue on but I think they seized the non express packs.

We should already know this by now but the OC bust should show that the feds are a set of patient motherfuckers. They had OC identified so long ago!!! 4 years!!! Sure those fuckers were laughing each time OC employed counter measures thinking "yeah we already know who you are." Fuck. 4 fucking years.

There is only 1 reason they took 4 fucking years. Its to start arresting others. Most investigations into DNM vendors seem to be 1-2 years, at most. The feds had what they needed to charge OC I'm sure within a year. They are gonna be kicking in many other doors now. Did OC vend in bulk?

/u/[deleted]

Excellent points. I'm not sure if he vended in bulk or not as I never dealt with him before. However, if anybody was buying anything more than what a normal individual would consider personal use amounts I would close up shop for a long while and warn anybody I did business with in person offline as to what's going on so they can watch their asses too. Feds are patient motherfuxkers indeed

Seems like they'd rather keep the more interesting details to themselves, they were pretty thorough in establishing probable cause just based on the surveillance they were conducting.

Talk about getting caught in 8k, if you google maps the addresses in the filing you'll see the defendants cars in the images. Specifically the blue ford fusion and the red chevy trailblazer. All the feds had to do was google the spots and boom there's your suspect's vehicle.

Fucking SLOPPY!

seriously, sloppy as hell from top to bottom...i don't think any of those arrested are really opiateconnect though, apparently his large packs were shipped from a totally different state and c'mon can you seriously imagine one of the biggest vendors on the dark web being this oblivious and idiotic? It doesn't add up but still surprising whoevers at the top was still dealing with these clowns.

This was a very sad read. Please never EVER develop a false sense of security. Always do the absolute maximum to prevent these feds from catching on. It is strange why they waited so long.. perhaps they paid off the police.. but regardless..

/u/barbarbinks

Drugs are like anything else, just stigmatized. Based on your logic, would you say that selling alcohol isn't a victimless crime? Is selling guns? There's a pretty big line between turning someone into a victim and selling someone something that they choose to use.

/u/winkingcherub

I dunno if it's all that black and white, I think you can choose to purchase something and still become a victim. Opioids definitely aren't victimless. None of this is to say I'm against the notion of an open and free market, but becoming a victim is a pretty easy thing to have happen irrespective of the freedom of choice.

/u/barbarbinks

That's fair. Life is rarely black and white. I do acknowledge that opioids in particular have disproportionately been used to create addicts and victims. I still think it's there's a difference between selling someone something that can be harmful versus victimizing or preying on someone with opioids or anything else

/u/winkingcherub

Yeah, and as I'm reading it again, your point is well taken. It was a bit naive of me not to account for the more obvious factor of "was someone preying on someone else", relating to punishments.

/u/barbarbinks

Wow, I've never had such a cordial conversation online. And about the ethics of opioids no less. And I agree with you still that there are definitely victims purchasing opioids and it has been easily used to victimize innocents. I love this place.

100% I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep. They don't have the resources or the motivation to go after someone who ordered a few small packs. Not worth it for the department. They want to find large quantities of drugs or cash, that's it. You're small potatoes.

Unfortunately, it is becoming a very successful police state.

'The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.'
