Vendor "fredthebaker" BUSTED

German and Netherland Police arrested 4 persons supposed to be the vendor fredthebaker on June 6 2016 in the Netherlands. Besides a lot of drugs, money, weapons and packing materials (birthday cards as stealth), it seems they also found data of customer. Not stated if it's a customer list or current orders/packaged orders.

Does this mean the cops have control of the account and all the last few orders were compromised? Does not sound good at all...

Looks like the vendor did not get busted, but his packers did. Lol, thats a lot of post cards :-)

Edit: Dutch news also covered this, Fredthebaker/or his packers were busted in the city of Enschede, the Netherlands. The dutch police already did alot of investigations (wich also was covered in undercover TV-shows) due to the problem of the so-called "drug-houses".

Apparently the drugs that did get caught with this "fredthebaker-bust" were valued at 1,3 million Euro's.

Fuck...ordered from him last week, and the order auto-cancelled after 72 hours.... Clean house + Belize..?


[2 Points] None:

Do they say what probed the investigation


[4 Points] germanamamamvendors:

shit I ordered something from FTB on june 6th...


[4 Points] 3124959:

What I get from this is the following:

German police has a special cyber crime unit which actively monitors the Darknet and goes after leads. They specifically targeted FTB; reasons or lead unknown, during the investigation they found out he was producing and packing orders in the Netherlands (in a bordering city), then driven and shipped from Germany. They alerted the Dutch police who helped their investigation.

Something tells me that the Dutch police probably already had him under investigation...


[3 Points] Bobrosshappytreesman:

Does anybody know if it's the same guy who vendored back during SR/SR2 days? He originally only shipped to Europe back then. Took a little while off and came back shipping worldwide.


[3 Points] None:

I ordered back in January. This is still somewhat unnerving


[3 Points] trynakick:

Edit and lesson learned: don't half ass your reading, especially in a language you can't read well. I just reread the article looking for anything about how the investigation happened. There is nothing to indicate the German side kicked off the investigation, as I initially said. This is a German police press release so is absurdly self-congratulatory and I got fooled. The only thing the Germans did was make sure the people who committed crimes in Germany were extradited. This looks like it's a show being run by Dutch police, but the Germans got to put out a brief press release patti g themselves on the back.

Ok, gist of article:

German state-level police somehow figured out that packs were being mailed that originated in the Netherlands (surveillance of profiled packs back to border check points?).

This prompted a raid of 5 places in NL near a border town.

They found a ton of drugs, an amphetamine lab with precursors and all the stuff needed to mail it out, including birthday cards for stealth. It's not clear to me if all of this stuff was in the same place.

They arrested 4 people between the ages of 33 and 62.

Then there is a bit of background about the DNMs.

A German can be more thorough, and give all the details, but there is nothing about how the investigation was kicked off, just that it's been a long time coming.

This is really sad):


[1 Points] SlappySpanBank:

First off, are guns legal in the Netherlands? I didn't think they were... Why would they feel the need to have guns if they are only shipping and packaging to other countries? Must've been some irl hustling on the side.

[1 Points] DarkKnight_1111:

Damn no fucking way! I was so close to making an order with him a few weeks back. I am very happy I didnt. I am getting kind of worrried lately about the busted vendors customer lists. I really hope my name if ever found just falls through the cracks. Shit is kind of stressful to think about sometimes.
