*To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (Said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre

With help from the U.S. Postal Service, DEA agents figured out that someone had used the internet service at Leslie's Miramar home to check on the tracking status of one of the packages, prosecutors wrote in court records.
This guys tracked his packs from his house without using Tor? What a fucking idiot.

I specifically remember you reviewing this vendor. Am I wrong?
Edit: sorry. Had a brain fart. It was NightOwlClinic I believe.. ?

Any owlcity customers out there have any news to report?
I placed an order with owlcity a long time ago. But since this investigation started in summer 2015 it's hard to know which customer names might be on that list mentioned in the article.
Owlcity seemed like a good guy. His profile said something about how he was always available to answer PMs unless he was in the studio making tunes.
edit: date

I thought that Alpha-PVP (flakka) was all gone and no longer existent
Yet another vendor busted by package tracking using poor opsec practices.
Never, EVER track packages from a traceable IP (or TOR)! Always use at least a non-logged VPN when doing this, or much better, a spoofed MAC address on a public wifi, especially if you are a vendor.
They are getting smarter about this stuff. Also:
I.E., non-encrypted devices with wallets and transaction records on them.
TL;DR: Opsec level 0/10, from a vendor no less. As the DNM's become more well-known and easier to access, the more low-hanging fruit is going to get caught. Don't be the low-hanging fruit!
