it looks new 8/13. Can we get a proper translation? Did anything new come out? *edit looks like it just talks about his upcoming case. Honestly curious how much time he will get. It's going to be so much less than Ross which is ironic because shiney got caught with a fuckton of drugs

Did they say how was he busted?

this is the 20 year old who was shifting shy loads of drugs from his mums house, right? can't wait for this to be translated to English
It says he probably sold more than they had originally assumed, up to 914 kilos so indeed he sold a fuckton (well, almost) of drugs out of his moms basement. The article doesn't say where they got that number from, so I assume they calculated it from his sales db + his stash(about 300ish kilos iirc) when he got busted.
Further it says he built an amazon-like webshop, sold columbian "hq" coke for 80 euros/g, "clean meth" for 70/g as well as ecstasy, lsd and prescription meds.
Got busted in early 2015 while the investigation had been going for about a year prior to that. Told his customers to 'order, pay and stfu' as he felt there was no need for further communication, but was nice enough to add gummy bears to his packages.
He got his supplies from the netherlands and an estimated 13k+ deals were made, tho it doesn't say if those numbers are from his clearnet shop alone or clearnet + dnm.
He finished high school but quit a secondary education as a waiter to focus on his business. Then there's some quote from the director of the BKA's(pretty much German FBI) cyber crime unit where he says it's a typical case for the booming illicit online trading activities and that back in the days dealers used to be from the criminal underworld and now it's 'young folks who are good with computers'.
So nothing really new in there.
