DNM Utah bust: Jasen Crisp

Back in November 2014, /u/al_eberia posted about a possible DNM case in Utah: http://www.justice.gov/usao-id/pr/boise-man-admits-importing-ecstasy-united-states

At the time, while it looked like a DNM case it could easily have turned to be any of the countless drug-mail cases (you may have noticed /u/CookyDough posting a few of those recently). While a federal case and so in PACER, almost all the documents were sealed and the public information did not say one way or another.

I checked back in PACER today as part of bringing my master list of arrests up to date, and his case has proceeded to sentencing & his lawyer posted a letter arguing for leniency in which they write:

The Defendant Jasen Crisp is a defendant with unusual facts. Jasen's case involves the importation of illegal narcotics. What's unique is the way he obtained them. Jasen is computer savvy. He used the Internet to access a secret marketplace. He purchased illegal merchandise with an electronic currency. His anonymity was compromised when the post office intercepted his illegal parcels. A search of his residence uncovered MDMA or ecstasy delivered from overseas...Jasen truthfully debriefed with law enforcement on January 16, 2015. He explained the uncommon means by which he was able to mail order drugs over the Internet...He was cooperative and respectful with law enforcement at the time the search warrant was served. He explained the sophisticated means by which he obtained the controlled substance. He has done what he could after the fact.

Particularly the mention of 'electronic currency' (Bitcoin) confirms it as a DNM case. I still don't know what seller or market, though: a CD of MDMA from Canada on 20 June 2014 is consistent with Agora, Evolution, SR2...

Jasen truthfully debriefed with law enforcement [...] He explained the uncommon means by which he was able to mail order drugs over the Internet [...] He explained the sophisticated means by which he obtained the controlled substance.

What a helpful young man.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... its not worth saving a few bucks to order international. Avoid customs at all costs people.

Repeat after me please (if you use Tails, a USB drive, a killswitch and an encrypted HDD or SDD)

"I'm sorry Occifer, I have not ordered anything."

"You can check my computer, my cell phone records, anything that will help this case."

"I'm sorry you didn't find any incriminating evidence on my PC, I'm sure that will make your job of tracking down the assailants most difficult."

(Court date comes)

(Walk out scott free)

Wonder what caused the interception at the post office? Unless it was like obscene amounts, that would be one of the lesser packs that would be identified in my book. Maybe it was el shito stealth and packaging got ripped or something.

If only he kept his mouth shut...

Fucking snitch bitch.


[1 Points] MrCrappy57:

Something I don't understand here. Historically it isn't enough to discover drugs addressed to you to get a search warrant. I'm wondering if he accepted the package/signed for it etc.


[1 Points] CookyDough:

If anyone's willing to run the javascript at http://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ we can look him up and see how much time he got sentenced to. Hell, write him a letter while you're at it. I'm sure he's stuck there for a loooong time.

Oh well, I truly hope he wins the case.
