Reporting a local bust following Operation Onymous

I'd like to report to the DNM community that a local bust has occurred in the central U.S. following Operation Onymous. It obviously wasn't me that was busted, but an acquaintance. I'm still trying to find out as much information as I can, but here's what I know:

I'm still looking for more information and will update as I find out more. I don't know whether this was a direct result of Onymous or if it was completely unrelated--I also do not know what OPSEC (if any) was in place. I'll answer any questions I can, but overall I'd just like to proffer this to the community to do with as you all will.

As for me... Fuck, my house was getting nice :(

WHATS IN THE BOX???

They brought their own key?!?! True gentlemen I suppose, leaving him with a door and all.

If they were going straight for the package, it was probably a local snitch. If they had intercepted it already, they would have went straight for him, but they didn't. LE wanted to know what was inside, before they arrested him.

The important parts are that LE waited outside the PO, went straight for the package, and had a copy of his house key already on-hand. Also, this didn't happen today but on the 10th of November (roughly, I'll get an exact date/time if need be.) Could be local PD-work and unrelated, but... SR2 user busted in close proximity to SR2 seizure smells like bacon.

Is you acquaintance a vendor in any way or was he just buying purely personal amounts?? How the hell did the cops get a copy of his house key? Does he rent and maybe the landlord gave it to cops? Which vendor?

Do you know if they confiscated his computer/DoKs/other digital shit?
That's the first thing that'll go if it's SR related.

They were sitting on the post office with an unmarked car. Once they saw she had the package they called in the squad car that was parked nearby. I recommend that anyone who picks up from a post office to do a drive by the whole parking lot. Keep an eye out for anyone just chilling in a car. As for her key I wouldn't be shocked if they had a ci take a waxcopy or photo of the key itself. Remember folks LEO's don't sleep, they have a near infinite budget (within reason of the target) your only defense against them is a good lawyer and complete anonymity.

Family member was at home, LE showed up with a copy of the house key

Huh? They showed up with a copy of a resident's own house key?

That doesn't add up. Like to the point the rest of the story should be brought under heavy scrutiny.

EDIT: OP says guy was a local re-seller. Everything else is irrelevant, he got ratted on. There is not some crazy special OPs shit going on.
