As part of Operation Commodore, prosecutors said, undercover agents had bought thousands of ecstasy pills, raw MDMA and dozens of grams of cocaine.
During their undercover work, it is alleged one of the suspects hired them to commit an assassination and paid a deposit for the job.

To the Internet tough kids in this thread: knowledge is powerful , it helps others see mistakes that have been made and leads to improvements in markets and OPsec. Enough of the ooh you don't know who you are messing with BS. Deep dot helps me and many others stay aware of what LE is up to, cause they sure as hell know what DNMs are up to. Lay off the stims and the paranoia will subside.
