So originally I thought i read that the vendor used his own address as the return address on the pack, but I'm not sure that's the case. The one line where I might have jumped to that assumption was this one in the article: "listing their return address as a post office box in Fargo, North Dakota." Shitty wording, but this must be the address the feds provided to the vendor and not truly the "return address."
So the original OD deaths occurred January 3. By January 21st they had busted the local reseller, gained access to his Evo account, identified the vendor, then busted the Evo vendor. Less than 3 weeks, pretty damn quick. Was it every said/confirmed how that leap was made (from local reseller to identifying the vendor)?
What's unclear is that maybe there were multiple orders - the article makes it sound like it was just one made by the feds. I guess if they made multiple orders, they get one in, figure out what post office it originated from, staked that out and identified the vendor this way.
Or do the feds have a much more powerful tool at their disposal?? I don't think it can be related to Evo and whether or not its a honeypot b/c I don't see how that'd be helpful as a vendor doesn't generally communicate much back to the buyer anyway. I thought I had understood the story, but I don't think I do as much as I thought I did. Then the girlfriend gets arrested and brings drugs to prison - WTF? Did she just keep fucken fentanyl inside of her just in case she got arrested? Just weird.
Hopefully gwern can provide the pacer docs and we can get more info. Gwern should put up a btc address to donate for getting the court documents, id gladly chip in.
I copied and pasted the last update on PDXblack's evo vendor page,
Update ATTENTION* Do Not Order From MONTEY6456 He is Selling My Stolen Fentanyl Citrate as HCL because he cant get any real HCL and he is trying to pass off the 20 grams that I shipped him that he still refuse to Finalize on claiming to have been busted by the feds in the acount detailed below. HE was succesful i will admit in getting me to take down my listings but as i summized he was reselling it. I just didnt suspect him to already be a Vendor here on Evolution. I will be up and have my listings back up and apologize for being so gullible. I just happen to be an honest person and thats how i operate. I expect others to do the same... That is not always the case. So once i get caught up on my orders. And take a couple days off for X-mas, I wll be back up and operating. I will also be back to acceptable prices. Once the holiday is over. I will have listings up for 500 a gram. Update. The Bitmessages below belong to Montey6456 Update. I have fallen victim for some ploy by a customer claiming to have first not recieved a package then claimed to not recieve the 10g reship i sent him, refusing to finalize for the first 10g. Then the customer Dunken23 messages me telling me i need to take down my listings and that LE is watching me. Of course anyone would find this disconcerting but then i got to thinking that his story didnt make sense. I'll post it below. I figured ultimately what he was trying to do was to get me spooked and take down my listings so that he could put up his not only taking advantage of the killer deals i offered but also my belief in customer service sending him a total of 20grams none of which he has paid for he still hasnt finalized on the first 10 yet he promised to pay me for anything i shipped him. He claims that the cops have it so so if you see any new fentanyl listings from any new fentanyl vendors please dont let this guy get over on anyone else. He thinks he got over on me and that he got something for nothing. Well its to bad, karma is a bitch. However, I wont let it affect the way I operate. I will be taking a couple days off since i have been going nonstop for 60 straight. Here is his
Bitmessage story to me What do you think?
pdx we need to talk BADLY how do you want to do this???
if its about le tell me what the fuck your talking about
sorry I fell asleep last night! I moved states im down in kentucky now so but I have to go back to new york on the 27th!
are you beng investigated?
I have no chargers yet they are sending it to the lab. They are investigating you and said you got popped so do NOT use the same return address you have been using!!!!!
If i were u I would take your listings down!!! They are looking thru all packages coming from your area!! My mom just sold all her stock to get my the best lawer for 55k so I have no charges yet. They sent it to the lab and are awaiting results......
how do you know alll this what happened
I got a call from a gy named Jayjay saying I had a package for me to pick up. He gave it to me and I walked to my car and they slammed me against my car I didnt open it yet and I denied knowing anything. One of your other customers got detained too. The postal insepctor was there with a bunch of cops......so they are watching your return address and said you got popped at are working with the feds!!!
you should log on and fimalize
i never said I got anything from you!! They only showed me 1 priority mail package which I am guessing is the first one. I dont know if they got the other one or not. Call me a fed or whatever you fucking want I was nice enough to warn you! Also the other guy that orders from you under the name ****280 also got popped. I am on probation so I got permission to leave the fucking state before this happened. PLUS I HAVE NO CHARGERS YET BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SEND IT TO A LAB and I am trying not to have this go federal. I did what I was always told to do and deny everything and I lawyered up!!!! They have my cell phone but that doesnt affect u anyway! They told me you got popped and are working with them so I could say this is all your fucking fault. Either way your an idiot if you send anything to anyone after what just happened!!! I am running to rehab in another week and I will probably end up doing 5 years for this shit if not more so I dont give a fuck what you say I just wanted to warn you. If you really did send another 10 grams then I never accepted it or got it so thats probably a good thing......
That is the transcript of the Bitmessages i recierved from Montey6456
