from someone with experience in this precise business - mixing IRL and darknet sales is a recipe for disaster - when he was a vendor, I don't think he sold less than 50gr packs so obviously he was working with mass amounts, didn't he used to brag about the buckets? he was in business for a number of years, it wouldn't be hard to detect a pattern at Customs - I believe that is why many of the other top OG US MDMA vendors (Mariosgramshoppe for example) are also quitting while they are ahead. there is no light at the end of the tunnel, you either get out while you are in your prime or you go down in flames

Yeah yeah yeah… Calm the fuck down.

Let’s make it sweet and to the point shall we. First off, I am excited to say they did not get their hands on the new Tide-Pod™ mdma pill dies. Figure it was the safer alternative for the tide-pod challenge.

So, a few months ago I found out one of my teams was selling product locally. One could say I was not happy for a multitude of reasons including not giving me the proper payment for a % of the sale but the main concern is… Rule #1 of the darknet. Don’t shit where you eat. I told them to stop but being 2018 and all these kids now a days are all about instant gratification and they did not stop. I threw every reason under the sun at them about why I can’t open shop because the last thing I want is for 50 people to get their doors kicked. I would A feel bad. B have to buy a lot of new doors and C it would ruin my name. During the time frame of my absence from the public on the darknet as some of my DD customers know we have been creating a new operation very far from the previous for mdma production. The goal was to be able to be back vending since I was cutting ties which as we all now know was that smart thing to do. I rather work with people that do what I say and do not deviate from the plan. If your slinging shit local someone is going to squuuawk and it would work its way up the food chain. Luckily for the Pelican squadron each operation has no ties with any other operation. 
Aka they got greedy and I cut all darknet transactions with them and then they got caught months later.

Ps. We will be opening shop for bulk in the near future when I feel like it.
Much love
~Peli

Wait am I reading this wrong?

They said he picked up ketamine and he processed them into ecstasy pills? How tf is that possible? Isn't ecstasy MDMA?


[21 Points] waxtelephone2:

[15 Points] None:

"MDMA, ketamine and ecstasy..."

MDMA AND ecstasy?


[11 Points] PartyTime00:

Article text: 'Large scale' international ecstasy operation busted in Valley

Joe Enea, Jason Volentine, abc15.com staff 1:53 PM, Mar 1, 2018 10:41 PM, Mar 1, 2018 mesa | southeast valley

PHOENIX - Arrests have been made in Mesa, Glendale and at Sky Harbor Airport involving an international ecstasy operation capable of producing 15,000 pills per hour.

Court paperwork shows four people were arrested for alleged involvement in the production and distribution operation.

Since 2017, Drug Enforcement Agency investigators have been investigating the 'large-scale' ecstasy drug trafficking operation in the Valley. The Pinal County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the investigation.

Court paperwork shows the group consisted of 27-year-old Long Phi Le, Daniel Min Kim, 26, Ronald Eugene Brown, 48, and Rafael De La Cuesta, 27.

Investigators say they would import about 50 kilograms of pure ketamine from Europe and have it sent to various mailboxes at UPS stores in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale and Sun City. Le would allegedly pick up the parcels and deliver them to multiple homes in the Valley. There, they would be processed into ecstasy pills.

Some of the drugs would then be sold here in the Phoenix area. Other pills would be packaged and given to Ronald Brown, who would reportedly use his status as a baggage handler for Piedmont Airlines, to smuggle the drugs onto planes, for distribution around the United States.

Police raided five homes where they reportedly found several pounds of ecstasy, 130 pounds of precursor chemicals, and industrial pill press equipment capable of producing 15,000 pills an hour.

They say they also located containers, shipping labels, and over $400,000 in drug proceeds.

Investigators say Kim was arrested on February 22 at a home near Dobson and Guadalupe roads where they were manufacturing the drugs. He was found with a one-way ticket to Costa Rica.

Brown was arrested the next day at Sky Harbor International Airport with a recently purchased ticket to Cancun, Mexico.

Le was arrested at his home in Glendale near 59th Avenue and Union Hills Drive, and Cuesta was caught at his home in Mesa near Stapley Drive and Southern Avenue.

They have all been charged with conspiracy, money laundering, drug possession, and conducting an illegal enterprise.


Here's the picture of them for those who don't allow javascript on certain sites.

Their jailbase profiles (with charges listed):

Investigators say they would import about 50 kilograms of pure ketamine from Europe and have it ... processed into ecstasy pills.

This article would make a lot more sense if the word "ketamine" was replaced with "MDMA."

Police raided five homes where they reportedly found several pounds of ecstasy, 130 pounds of precursor chemicals, and industrial pill press equipment capable of producing 15,000 pills an hour.

I'm guessing those "precursor chemicals" were actually tablet excipients (binders, dyes, fillers). Unless there is an undiscovered chemistry lab somewhere, they are probably not precursors.

What's the fuck did I just read? Did they just mix up ketamine and MDMA!?!?!
