Is there a large presence of vendors that are involved with gangs and much larger drug cartels? Or are most vendors just small operations run by educated suburbanites?
Gangs and the DNM's?

I would say drug cartels would more likely be some of the vendors, it's kinda obvious what vendors are and aren't...
Gangs I would say more or so buy drugs to sell on the streets.

Cartels -> Mules -> Distributor -> Gangs.
Why would the cartel bother messing around with bitcoins? They can just hire a mule, and work with cold hard cash. If the mule doesn't make it, oh well, they'll find you in prison. On the other hand i want to see some of this supermeth in bulk on markets, that would be nice.
I wouldn't put down the theory that gangs aren't involved though. Simply because cash through mail is still a viable option.
As seeing as you don't know who the vendor is, I don't think anyone can truly answer this question.
