This individual was arrested recently and from interactions with him, I attest the following information is accurate to the best of my knowledge:
http://www.wdrb.com/story/28070729/police-suspect-arrested-for-dealing-drugs-from-home
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man is facing numerous charges after police say he was selling drugs out of his residence. According to court documents, 38-year-old Michael R. Winchester was arrested around 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 9 at his home in the ********* (redacted for auto-moderator) Bullitt County police began conducting surveillance on Winchester's residence after receiving a tip from a reliable source that Winchester was selling drugs in varying amounts, ranging from "ounces to pounds." While the home was under surveillance, detectives saw another man "visit residence for a short period of time." According to the arrest report, after that suspect left Winchester's residence, detectives stopped him for expired registration tags. During the traffic stop, detectives say they found one ounce of marijuana. That's when the suspect told detectives he had left his 6-year-old son at the residence. When detectives knocked on Winchester's door, he refused to turn the child over to detectives without a warrant. According to the arrest report, Winchester then pushed two children toward a back door, before demanding that detectives "get the _____ off the property." Police say Winchester than grabbed another child from the door and ran back into the house, yelling: "That kid's not mine either!" Detectives say they already had information indicating that Winchester carried a gun with the serial numbers filed off so they entered the residence out of fear for the children's safety. After entering the house, detectives called for a search warrant. After searching the residence, detectives found the weapon, along with marijuana, marijuana butter, Xanax pills, Fentanyl patches, codeine, cocaine, Valium, as well as nearly $25,000 in cash. Winchester now faces several charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a defaced firearm, wanton endangerment, trafficking in a controlled substance, and trafficking in marijuana.
From my training and experience, I know this individual is a former topix.com (version 1) seller and may have vended on DNM's. His main operation was to reshipping benzodiazepines sourced from international online pharmacies operating on the clearnet. (IOPs)
He's a multiple felon: carried around a concealed handgun with the serial number filed off and operated since at least 2010 to early 2011. He undoubtedly shipped narcotics through USPS between 2011-2013 as a reseller for overseas sources.
In 2012-2013 he was investigated and interviewed by the FBI and rumor has it, became a confidential informant in exchange for leniency. He's been importing dispensary grade medical marijuana from California, still in dispensary packaging, for years. "From ounces to pounds," according to authorities.
To my knowledge he only accepted Western Union and cash in the mail or IRL transactions.
By crawling the Customs and Border Patrol forfeiture database and /r/darknetmarkets I have found a package that was likely connected with his operation and seized: (speculation)
Seized on 11/11/2014; At the port of LOUISVILLE, KY; ALPRAZOLAM PILLS; 640; EA; Valued at $0.00; For violation of 21USC881,381,952,19USC1499
The subject frequently imported and resold overseas alprazolam in 1-2 mg forms incuding: Mylan, Onax, Ksasol and Interbrands, as well as miscellaneous opiates.
By crawling a few websites for his DOC (benzos, mainly alprazolam) I've managed to link him to the following accounts:
ioplist.com: username "ikemay" (where he sourced overseas benzos from a seller in Serbia/Montenegro)
And we have a feedback post from a customer confirming "mhaters" is an alias for "Mike."

Edited for more info.
I can attest this story is 100% true. I was a major lurker on those forums since 2010. I can assure you that is MHatters. That guy actually wanted to skype with me in 2012 and I denied him and his business. OP's story is 100% accurate, I even know of the people who dealt that guy bud.. as for the other stuff, I'm assuming most came from pink (the ksalols). But yes, this story is dead on. Nice post OP! Thank you for this!
