FL Bust Update: Defendant Sentenced

On 1/18/2018 defendant Ralph Robert James Sergo was sentenced in accordance with his signed plea to 60 months for each of the LSD charges to be served concurrently and an additional 60 months for the two firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime charges for a total of 10 years in prison with 5 years of supervised release afterward.

I believe he is still eligible for a further sentencing reduction, but someone with more experience with Federal system please free to correct me.

Many thanks to the individual who updated the RECAP archive with the FL Bust after the sentencing. Please feel free to PM me with proof of your work for a XMR tip if you wish.

10 years for LSD. I wish nothing but the absolute worst life has to offer for that judge. Fuck America.

If he was sentenced already, the downward departures are not relevant anymore.

The only way to get a reduction from the mandatory 85% is going through the RDAP program (residential drug abuse program), which gives a year off and 6 moths of halfway hour at end of sentence... BUT.....

If he got charged with a firearm crime as you say, he will not be eligible for the time off even if he completes that program.

Pour out some liquid LSD for a bygone vendor.

Law enforcement intercepted the outbound parcel and found it contained approximately 85 grams of an orange granular substance, which field tested positive for the presence of LSD.

Either they weighed the entire package including the shipping box or that is a fuckload of LSD.

He got a better sentence than i thought he was going to get, pretty sure they were going for 25 plus years to begin with, but i think he co operated with them, so got a more leinient sentence...shame about the gun charge, i thought guns were legal in US? or do they need to be registered? or was it because he was a drug dealer with a gun? I don't fully understand the gun laws is the states.

So long and thanks for all the tabs.

I think it was determined the 85gs was not xtal but rather paste used to make microdots


[2 Points] afrin110:

Not very familiar with LSD, but seems like a very heavy sentence. How muc drugs are we really talking about..in comparison with MDMA or cocaine? I don't know what "microdots" are, but spending 35 years in jail for mg's of LSD seems a bit much


[2 Points] GrandWizardsLair:

That is actually better than the Grand Wizard expected. Sergo was caught with a large quantity of LSD and firearms: we were guessing he would do 20 to 30. Don't get us wrong, that is still an absurd sentence for distribution of a relatively benign substance. But it's less absurd than we feared and means he will have a chance to pick up the pieces and move on after his release.


[2 Points] CaptchaKing4Reviews:

I remember all the shit talking in the other thread saying he shouldn't or taken a plea deal. Seems like he did pretty well considering.


[2 Points] sirphaded:

He must have snitched HARD for him to get this sentence.

The ramifications of this bust wont be seen for a few years. Be prepared , if you were doing any business with this man.

85 g raw LSD, good lord

850,000 100 mcg hits, motherfucker

Anywhere from $850,000 wholesale - $8,500,000 @ 10/hit

In the report it said that one of the LSD powders they found was "gray"...

Could quality LSD be gray or was this shit containing a good deal of impurities/tainting BS, of stereoisomeric character that is unsavory: 4 stereoisomeric possibilities, only 1 stereospecific occurrence is ideal, (5R,8R), and the non-3 that may contribute trash character to the entire stereochemical makeup.

*Long but worth the read it’s a fucked up eye opener! *

Let the novel begin:

Yea they have all kinds of rules to fuck you. Our freedom is/was nothing more then a selling point back in the day to get anyone with money to pay taxes or was willing to work and pay taxes to come here and have their money taken and put places that they will never see. One of the greatest dreams sold is to come to America work your ass off and own a piece a land... except their definition of owning and ours as citizens differs pretty drastically. For example:

Family member was horrifically mangled by 3 dogs who’s breeds are for bear hunting and anytime you walked past their property ( dead end street so u had no choice) those dogs charged the fence and left you thinking “ man if those dogs busted out they would fuck someone up and bad lol” well the 6 year old grandson they watched most of the time because the mom would rather smoke meth and leave him with the grandparents after school couldn’t latch the gate because it was to heavy duty and nobody had a clue so the next person to walk up the street had something they could never imagine coming their way and luckily she decided to walk down and check the mail because 35 minutes after she had decided to walk down was when the first set of kids were off the bus and walking home which there was a group that varies from 10-12 3rd-7th graders.
Fast forward nearly a year of court as their insurance was only trying to provide 10k for a settlement ( if you have a “Beware of Dog” sign I would go rip it up and burn it now.. that was one of the main reasons her lawyer was able to prove the dogs were known to be violent, apparently you can have guard dogs but like a human your dog cannot attack someone unless they are presenting danger towards you and just like self defense your return aggression cannot exceed the force from your attacker u can only match it ( if someone is confronting you and verbally abusing you and then steps forward and pushes you and your reaction is to swing and punch them you are now the attacker as your level of aggression in the altercation has gone past theirs and you are now the aggressor ( had a guy threaten to kill me when he saw me for weeks, saw him at Wendy’s told him let’s go outside i followed him out the door and he shoved me back, well i do t play that pushing game so i came back with a straight right and knocked his teeth out. He went home and told his mom she called the cops and even though it was all on camera he wasn’t charged with anything and i got a Felony Battery with GBI enhancement [Great Bodily Injury.. comes with $10,000 or more in damages and doubles the original battery charge] if someone walks in your house you cannot simply kill them for trespassing just like your dog cannot attack someone who is not physically attacking you. If someone is on your property cussing you you cannot let your dog go out and attack them so they can leave) but after getting a lawyer and fighting it she was eventually awarded 300k and would have got more had she not stated that she didn’t want them to have to loose any assets like property or have to pay out of their pocket and the 300k was the top limit of their insurance and probably got cut from it and had trouble finding someone else to insure them after that.

By posting a “ beware of Dog “ sign was a major nail in the coffin. By posting a sign telling people to be careful on your property because of the might seem like a great foolproof plan... it isn’t. By having this sign up your acknowledgement of the fact your dog is violent shows that you are aware your dog is a danger to humans to the point you feel you need to warn everyone and anyone about the dog being violent and they will fuck you sideways for it and if your dog wasn’t violent then you wouldn’t have felt the need to warn people your dog may attack them thinking that just because you told them your dog will attack makes it ok ( this line of through probably came from the era when it was ok to whoop some ass when someone got out of line and people got soft and scared of fights) When your dog attacks someone first thing they ask you is why would you knowingly harbor a dangerous animal? A guard dog is meant to patrol and alert the owners of a presence, you are not allowed to harbor an animal that will attack and if you know your dog will attack a human it’s basically like a premeditated attack becuase you harbored the animal to be used as a weapon. If you notice now that’s why they make the “Dog on premises” signs becuase you are letting everyone know you have a dog and you are not warning them against this animals potential to attack.

Fast forward some more. The lady buys a house on an acre outright in cash no payments nothing. It didn’t come with a garage so she hired a contractor from Southern California. After the building had been up a year and half a notice comes in the mail to quit building lmao. Come to find out that in the county you are required to have full permits on any building over 120sq ft ( 10’x12’ ) regardless if it’s considered temporary or not. It was built 24’x30’ and on skids with solid floor so you could technically come in and lift it and put on semi and move it so it’s not on permanent foundation. Well in Southern California that’s perfectly fine. Not here. For several months of fighting them where they had originally said if it was demolished by a certain date they had “ very effective means of getting what we want” basically if they weren’t allowed i.n The property to inspect the building and stuff the occupants would be arrested for obstruction of justice and then if the building wasn’t demolished and inspected afterwards that a lien would be placed upon the property and fines would occur until it was taken care of. I believe with the Initial lien and fines the first year would have been in excess of 55 grand. The lien meant that when it came time for property taxes to be paid instead of paying the yearly 1500-2000 dollar land taxes her bill would have been a minimum of $57,000. With a lien from fines you don’t get a break on your tax payment other then the regular option to pay half in January and half in June. If the January payment isn’t paid the lien allows them to SELL THE FUCKiN PROPERTY to recover the damages (fines) against the county. So by simply putting up a small building bigger then 10ft x 12ft (120sq or more is the code) on land that is completely owned can be seized and sold out from under you and if you don’t have somewhere else to say you will be forcefully removed and arrested after the sell of your property and if you have anything of value in the house they can keep that for the sale as well so u can basically loose everything.

TL;DR

There is no ownership in America it’s all false. Nothing more then glorified renting. If you cannot install a simple building without them, easily i might add, having the right to take and sell everything, effectively taking you from a land owner to being homeless that is not ownership.. if i own something yet have to pay a yearly fee on it and if i don’t it will be seized and given to the next sucker that seems to defeat the point of ownership. If you own your land outright and you’re not affecting natural resources ( like raw sewage or something that would damage the environment and leach into the water table) the government shouldn’t have the right to control what a human does on the land they own otherwise what is the point of all the trouble and stress of becoming a land owner ( glorified renter, your landlord is the government, if you do t pay your yearly rent aka property taxes then they will seize it and sell it to the next highest bidder but don’t forget you OWN it)
