Sounds Sr related to me. Stay on your toes everyone.

I would also like to take this moment to remind everyone that if the police are focusing on SR, they only seem to be after the vendors. Lets not get too comfortable vendors.

Not much point in focusing on buyers unless they are high volume for resale. A lot easier to go after the vendors and then try to go up their supply chain. Stay safe.

Agreed. I'm surprised that I was the first to post this news article. Vendors need to keep their ear to the earth for the sound of the beast.

Woop, woop, that's the sound of The police. Woop, woop, that's the sound of the beast

Uh oh... not trying to spread FUD but isn't it a strange coincidence that last week the guy Pfandleiher disappeared, and AfterHour hasn't logged in for 5 days?
And 18kg amphetamine seized... 1+1=....?

That's some really bad news. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that said vendors are fucked or at least one of them, according to the cities and other information given in the article ..
I would love to get convinced of the contrary though

I also noticed that afterhour hasn't been around in a few days! Usually his listing are only down on weekends.
Please don't let it be him, he/she is a great vendor! :O

Why to launder your cash - so they don't assume it's gained illegally :) They can seize the drugs, but if you launder it right as I do with my clients, then you can prove you earned it legitimately and they can't take it still ;)

Most definitely Afterhour. And considering he got me for 50 grams of MDMA one time with no reply or reship I could honestly say... meh.

Lol.

I employ multiple people in my operations.  It's impossible to distribute at a certain level all by yourself.  You just have to run a tight ship.

The last thing Walter needs is a sketchy meth head that brings heat.  Having a Gale or two would be great though. 8)

Gale had to go. You can't fuck a Gale, but you can fuck your Jesse.

It's definitely SR.

The goods were sold on a "Amazon for illegal transactions," the online platform "Silk Road".  On "Silk Road" you can find any kind of product or service that are not legal to purchase. Exceptions are, said [police spokesperson Adina] Mircioane, weapons of mass destruction and assassinations. You only get access via a so-called darknet, an encrypted network, and under the strictest conditions.

It looks as though the investigation started a year ago with a few arrests in Vienna:

Quote
The Viennese had constructed a flourishing e-commerce trade for ecstasy or MDMA, cocaine, and amphetamines. In three months he had - working alone - made about 400 transactions through India, Australia and South Africa. Nearly 350 of these could be proved against him. The 25-year-old was convicted.

In the course of this arrest, the investigators also presented extensive evidence, including several computers. In evaluating the data, the investigators came to the suppliers of the Viennese, the Germans who lived in Bavaria.
Three dealers were arrested in Salzburg Vienna parallel to the investigation. Unlike their counterparts, the three Salzburg Viennese purchased their drugs directly from the same Germans and then sold on a large scale.

I'd assume AfterHour's computers will get the same treatment.
