A lot of people here discounting this guy on pretty flimsy basis. I was busted for buying Coke off SR over a year ago, and the majority of people on the forum dismissed my story as rubbish because they didn't want to believe they too could be caught. The upside is, and also why you shouldn't give up in court, is I got off with no conviction.

People, read above and be VERY CLEAR: key kid states he is not from America.

It's just as likely that there are ducks in prison for quacking for all we know.

Unless you were in the US and charged as a us Citizen, your experience does not equate, compute or make any sense in the terms of this entire bust.

Controlled delivery?

[–]eminem56 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Can you provide more details? Its not like you would be incriminating yourself further. They can't try you again.

This wasn't a controlled delivery, they got a warrant from a Judge based on them 'intercepting' a package coming to me. They found me in possession of product at the time of the warrant, and proof on my computer of previous transactions. I told them I wouldn't speak to them till I spoke to a lawyer. I called up a lawyer who suggested 'alternate scienarios' of how someone might have sent me this without me knowing... But I knew they'd find other proof and find I was lieing so I played ball, answered their questions truthfully without giving them any further info. The main officer from Customs I think may have took pity on me and only charged me with 1 importation, also ensured Police couldn't lay any charges and it all went through Customs. So I got off possession of coke and importation by showing that I'd never get a job in my trained field of work again, and that would be a greater penalty than the crime deserved. The Judge agreed, much to my lawyers shock. Everyone on SR told me it's impossible for a Judge to serve a warrant without a controlled delivery and I was full of shit. How wrong they were. I even got my picture in the main paper here...work tried to fire me, got myself an employment lawyer who stopped that, still in the same job to this day. So it's not all doom and gloom if you're busted (tho this was a landmark decision apparently). My package was also intercepted from Netherlands... As was every other interception Customs had done related to SR. I was suspicious that vendor had got busted as he disappeared after my arrest and others mentioned he'd put some suspicious posts on the forum prior.

Amazing-- a judge makes a (relatively) fair decision in a drug case. That is pretty awesome. If only they realized this is the case in many felony drug convictions. :(

How much coke was it?

[–]egrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"proof on my computer of previous transactions" -- what? how the fuck is that possible if you use TOR and take proper precautions...?

[–]lucasjkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hasn't even been tried once, yet!

[–]HereHaveSomeEyedrops -1 points0 points  (2 children)

The could with new evidence

[–]willreignsomnipotent 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No, they can't. That's why OJ Simpson wrote a book all about how he "would have" committed those murders "if" he did ("but of course I really didn't," wink wink) and he's not rotting in jail on a life sentence.

Double Jeopardy.

OJ actually is rotting in jail though, LOL.
