So it seems MerckKGaA was actually busted and just got sentenced.

Most people just thought it was an exit scam right? Didn't see any information on a possible bust, but today I am scrolling through my local news and this pops up:

[..] Das Trio habe für die unter dem Namen Merk KG im [..]

I believe "Merk KG" is just a wrong mistranslation from the journalist who wrote the article. There is no vendor by the name of "Merk KG", and if you do google "Merk KG" the actual company called "MerckKGaA" comes up, so it is a frequent misstype. I have no time to translate, but they busted 4 people in total. Seized 116kg drugs (Speed, Coke, MDMA, XTC, Heroin) and were able to proof 3800 total Darknet transactions.

Man I can't make any sense of this. Just looking further into it the information is very confusing, but there are a lot of articles:



What I get from this is:

There where several busts, on several dates (From April to Oktober?!), one leading to the extradition of a Dutch person staying in Madrid. They all where identified to be part of one crew. There also is another person who is currently sitting in jail and has yet to get sentenced.


Initial reason for the bust was a random citizen reporting a guy with a huge pile of envelopes and rubber gloves filling up a mailbox letter after letter while a Mercedes was waiting for him. Police came, opened up the mailbox and found 61 letters, containing 1.6kg speed, 50g Cocaine and 746 XTC pills. Then they probably just investigated or ran the plates? They got the guy from Spain because they all talked to each other through SMS or Whatsapp...


Seems like the Dutch guy in Spain fled there, but had his identity and were able to extradite him. Looks like they slowly dismantled the operation but only got the person who was running the online part at the very last bust? This could explain an exit scam.......guy knows his entire crew is behind bars, starts taking in all the money he can get. Still gets busted.


Going to stop researching now because my head is starting to hurt..

I ordered from them last year. I got 100 purple battery euros that landed safely (usa) just before Coachella. They let 25 of my friends have one of the best times in their lives. May they sit down in peace!

Neither here nor there, but what does this idiom translate to, "Einen Schuss ins Blaue und Treffer ins Schwarze"

"Shot in (to) the blue and a a goal in (to) the black" it doesn't make sense in English and I can't figure it out In context.

Thanks for posting,,, interesting.

The time that merck started taking orders, but not shipping them out he posted on his agora profile bashing the support. so this is what leads me to believe he exit scammed. Even when agora unbanned him he complained that "agora admins locked my account with 50 BTC" so the likelihood of him getting arrested is slim i think..

116kg drugs (Speed, Coke, MDMA, XTC, Heroin)

250 lbs of the expensive drugs. good lord.


[2 Points] IsThatPurple:

a) All drugs connects to MerckKGaA. All aside of Heroin! I was following his vendor shops in all DNMs and he was not selling heroin nowhere.

b) I don't know if they succeed to connect all the sales or just a part of them, cause "3800 transactions" doesn't even cut it for the ones he had in Agora & Evolution only! The guy was selling like a fucking Walmart!

c) Till this post i was 95% sure that i knew what's the new MerckKGaA's vendor name.. Now i need to re-arrange my search :P

Even when all the shit with the German post went down, and everyone was talking about him scamming, MKG hooked it up with some really bomb delights. Cheers to a solid vendor.

EDIT: Minus the stealth apparently.

There you can see the PO Box.

To sum up what happend: - The guy who got caught at the PO Box organized the transport
and hired the other guy/girl for packaging. They were local drugaddicts. - In the video its said that they althought send heroin and usally the local press is having the best connections to LE. - They seem to have worked on commission, the financial backer and owner of the drugs were dutchman. However the guy who got caught on the PO Box who confessed about his involvement kept silence about these guys.
