Any opinions on this? Usually when you read about a bust the news explains (to a degree) what dumb things they did to get caught. Here, nothing except several LEAs were involved. No idea if these guys were on any DNMs. Just wondering if anyone knows anything or has any observations

Special Agent James Hunt of the city’s DEA office said anyone who used synthetic drugs was playing “Russian roulette” with their life.
“Man-made drugs are our worst enemy these days,” he said.

What the hell does that have to do with anything??? Last I checked, mushrooms aren't synthetic drugs..

due to the carrier law, they probably weighed the substrates, grain spawn, colonizing fungus and any other thing they could find. also 250 lbs of wet mushrooms only equals 25 lbs of dry mushrooms. looking at their grow set up i really doubt they had 250 pounds of dry mushrooms laying around.

Lmao at $2 million estimation. That's counting street price for each individual g at over $17/g.

Earlier in the year. Different Russian guy, all in NYC, busted with 5 pounds in his car selling to undercover. Odds it's not connected? Has priors...
