As always, if you know of cases I missed, please tell me. The more comprehensive the list, the more lessons can be drawn from it.

Seems like if you don't want the feds to fuck you in the ass you shouldn't sell MDMA or Xanax.

Ya know, as large as it is, there aren't that many arrests. The feds would have you believe that they are arresting people left and right.

It gives me a lot of relief seeing marijuana-only busts are fairly rare for buyers and there doesn't seem to be a single mushroom bust.

Whats the latest on XK? Can't find anything current. I thought his case was close to sentencing?

Luckyluciano was a Canadian vendor, FYI.

"A Redditor reports being busted 29 January 2015 in Scandinavia (probably Norway or Denmark) after a package of LSD from the Netherlands which he bought from LucyandMolly (who sells on Agora/Evolution/Nucleus) was intercepted by customs; he received just a knock-and-talk but confessed his guilt." When that happened I sent him a message and he confirmed he was from Norway.

Holy shit. I know of that Ryan West kid. He was friends with my cousin or some shit. He was a local MDMA reseller, he made tons of cash, but his real life OPSEC was really sloppy.

Mahalos!

Holy shit I remember when Xanax King got busted, but had no idea every single one of his costumers got hit too. Edit: Does anyone know why this happened? Lack of encryption, or did he just save all his costumer info like a douche?

The only thing I don't like about the list is the guessing. "stimulant is probably amphetamine", if you don't know, why not put NA or something? "Dating based on sentencing; almost no available details to give an idea of when actually arrested", again, so why not just put NA instead of guessing? It seems there is a lot of that in this list, just assuming. Otherwise, I'd say great job and thank you.

This is extremely useful! Is there anyway you could include the size of the shipment or the crime they were charged with for the buyers?

Why do you do what you do, gwern? The online criminal community thanks you.
