My story of being raided and the mistakes that got me there.

Hey guys; I figure its been about a year since things happened. My life has slowed down a bit and I figure my information may help some of you secure yourselves to be better prepared than I was.

About 10 months ago right before the New Year I was selling pretty heavily. Weekly deliveries between 3 or 4 different drop spots of 2k pressed MDMA pills or 100-200g of MDMA. West Coast USA

I never had any issues with packages showing up. I was dedicated to a few particular vendors but decided to branch out to a new guy on the block...named MerckKgaa I ordered 7k of his pressed pills and asked him to send it split 3 ways. One of the addresses was my home address. He gave me the tracking number about 72 hours after ordering stating he sent it all in one package. It was frustrating but I had done similar orders before to one place.

I checked the number quite often from my home computer as I was unsure of which address he was sending it to. Fast forward two weeks and all seemed proper with the tracking. In and out of customs in New York in about 24 hours. I saw it was at my local sort center one Monday morning and knew it would be coming that following day, Tuesday.

Friday I had received a half ounce of excellent cocaine and a bunch of xanax so I spent all weekend through Monday partying. It was time to wind down around 5 am Tuesday morning, I popped some Xanax and slept. 9 AM Tuesday my doorbell rings. No big deal I was used to my mail lady bringing me my packages; however today was a new face. A rather fit looking male postman with a massive white box, large enough to fit a crowbar into. I signed for the package and put it next to my front door and continued sleeping.

Two hours later the dreaded loud knock and "______ County Police, Search Warrant" came. I looked around and saw all the cocaine sitting out in plane sight and knew I had no options, I opened the door to see about 6 SWAT members with guns pointed at me. I had my hands behind my head as I opened the door to minimize my chance at being shot.

They swiftly threw me into an unmarked mini van and took me around the corner. I was questioned for a few hours while they tore my house apart. They found 10k$ in cash and all my drugs as I did a poor job at hiding them (not that hiding them would have done much, they searched everywhere with dogs).

I was handed 7 Felonies and sat in Jail for a while until released on an 80,000$ bail. I chose to cooperate to have my charges dropped. You would do the same if facing a 10 year+ Prison sentence for your first offense.

It turns out my IP address was linked to the package tracking that they had intercepted at customs. I had no ability to deny knowledge of the package. I had money and drugs in the same home so there goes my ability to play ignorant.

Simply put: If you are expecting something to your home CLEAN HOUSE a day or two before it shows up. Do not check the tracking on your home network EVER. Even once is enough proof you had knowledge of the package. Do whatever you possibly can to have a completely spotless home. I was charged for manufacturing because of empty gelatin capsules. They will get you for whatever they can.

I had never dealt with police in any way before that day. I am on the young side of the scale with a really clean hard working background.

Also Fuck Merck Kgaa; He shipped the pills in a box that screamed OPEN ME

Keep your nose clean and dont make the simple mistakes I had made. My lawyer told me had my home been clean of drugs and my phones texts not been so incriminating I would have walked away without ever being thrown in jail

I suppose the moral of the story is, if you can afford thousands of dollars worth of drugs a week you should spend a few cents on a VPN

By co-operating in gathering you snitched on everyone you could.


[9 Points] None:

Snitch, you hopped in the game knowing the consequences and when you got popped you squealed like the bitch you are.

Because of your idiocy other people are doing time.


[9 Points] iamdnm:

are you kidding? not to bash you, but you followed 0 opsec rules!

and you are located in the US. I mean, you are asking for it.


[8 Points] Hank_Vendor:

there we have it guys.... low hanging fruit.

gos bless ya man. you're the lazy half arsed rat that occupies enough law enforcement time that we can remain at liberty.


[8 Points] rabbitsfootx:

thanks for telling us this story and my heart goes out to you man.

most of the people bashing you for snitching probably would have done it too. still, I can't respect that but whatever happened happened.

you probably wouldn't have had to serve time for your first offense, they told you that to scare you. thanks for sharing!


[6 Points] aristarch:

never fucking track any tracking number ever, come on guys.

the amount of metadata in a single lookup can incriminate the pope, fuck.


[5 Points] tailsjoin:

No snitching next time, please. Your mistakes, your drugs, your house, your problems.


[4 Points] None:

you had 3-4 drops and you were pulling in 6 figures worth of drugs?

Couldn't you have used all the money from this operation to hire a really good lawyer to get you a jail term shorter than 10 years or use it to set up a new life under a new identity instead?


[4 Points] -tmwsiy-:

Op really got caught with a 10 pack of rolls and if he lived where I live, he would be shot for snitching


[6 Points] 710Savino:

this goof ordered 7k MDMA pills , didn't use TAILS , USED UNBLOCK-US (KEK) and didn't clean house. you dumb as fuck , you think you slick ? nigga you gotta be like prop joe on dis shiz , encrypt everything and

unblock us you deserve that time


[3 Points] chef234:

Did you end up doing any time?


[1 Points] sntjhnsn2:

Dude, you suck...


[3 Points] thatguynorm:

Dude how much can you cooperate? Did you snitch on every single person you know? How many controlled buys?????? I understand you had to do what you had to do, but I cant imagine the shit you had to give them to get the charges DROPPED.....like not even probation. Thats a fucked up part of the justice system in my opinion. Not that I wanna see anyone locked up....but...you got caught with 7k pills and 10k cash lol....you deserved any time you might have gotten


[2 Points] jawnmcafee:

OpSec 101. Separate everything, plus putting your home address while having live drops in any fashion is silly. Better to walk away from anything clean than not walk away. I hope your lawyer does em dirty in court OP. Shit happens


[2 Points] Theeconomist1:

Where did it get caught? Customs? And how?


[2 Points] Spa__ce:

Moral of the story is you should branch out and try to find the slimiest drug dealer possible and learn just enough as a small time customer so that if you ever do need to snitch at least you can give up a scum bag and not your friends.

Goddamn it dont do any fucking crime unless you are prepared to accept the consequences you yourself brought on by your actions. Snitching not even once. Anybody who says i would snitch in his shoes i dont know until im facing time is wrong I have proven this wrong on 3 seperate occasions and anytime i am caught in the future i will fight it but do any time im handed by myself because i am a fucking man who chooses my own actions daily.

There is zero justification for snitching

That's why I run Tor as a system-wide SOCKS proxy in order to cover up all my clearnet activity. It's a quick and easy setup only on Linux though.

What is this?


[1 Points] None:

Any chance you could upload the discovery documents from your case showing the evidence of the IP tracking?


[1 Points] None:

my biggest fright here is the VPN's happily handling over IP addresses of customers simply asked for by the government. How many VPN's will refuse/ claim they logs no longer exists and WHICH VPN's are they to be exact....

i know hidemyass claim they keep logs for 3 months,

most others say they have NONE,

i'm going to contact mine and ask and see what they say

Peace


[1 Points] iliveintor:

TERRIBlE opsec. and VPN that logs and turns over data = bad. merck was also too lazy to split it but easy slap on the wrist if opsec was better.


[1 Points] fuckoffplsthankyou:

Tor.

Thanks for sharing your story.


[1 Points] Sunline_Inc:

Aren't you violating your agreement by coming on Reddit and talking about it?


[1 Points] None:

Do you know if the vendor has been caught. Date? Details?

Might help these guys out:

Fuck you for snitching. You let others suffer because of your own actions. You are a worthless piece of shit.

Hey OP,

Sounds like you were a young boss yourself. Made some bad decisions as a kid and didn't want to waste your life away. Much respect and hope the best.


[-1 Points] JesusdiedLOLOL:

Someone should dox this snitch bitch


[-1 Points] ccashcow27:

I love how everyone here is giving him crap for snitching. For fuck sakes, no one is going to go to jail for you.


[-13 Points] fuckudieinprisoncunt:

fuck you snitch. everyone wants to live the life yet nobody wants to do the time for their fucking crime. you are a bitch in life and this is no where close to the bad karma you will receive later in life.

i would slit your fucking throat right now, you fucking cunt. "join a cartel if you don't wan't to be snitched on" ? ? ? ? really ? ? ?

i should have my cartel contacts find you, you scummy piece of shit

these fuckers listening to rap music thinking drug life is cool and then they miss their #1 message which is DO NOT FUCKING SNITCH.

YOU ARE A BITCH. I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FUCKING FAMILY DIE A HORRIBLE FUCKING DEATH, AND IF I COULD HELP ACHIEVE THIS I WOULD. FUCK YOU, snitch.
