How do people get caught buying acid?

I feel like i've been seeing a lot of these lately.

I mean granted the kid was 15, other people have been caught buying the same thing. How do you get caught buying the safest thing there is to ship? It has no smell, so dogs can't smell it. And even with half assed opsec it would be easy to get passed customs or any type of screening. This shit baffles me. Surely he got ratted out or something?

two of his friends saved $695 to purchase Bitcoin. After they used a cryptocurrency exchange to purchase the digital currency, the three middle school students accessed the dark web and requested 100 acid tablets for delivery.

This is the real crime here. Who the fuck buys 100 hits for 700 dollars.

This specific case for instance attracted the interests of local law enforcement agencies after many students in the class of the 15-year-old suspect fell ill during a field trip. The investigation revealed that the 15-year-old student and his two friends distributed illicit acid tablets to their classmates during the field trip, realizing that they obtained more than they actually needed.

Ah, he was retarded, I should've realized

Edit: reading online it's almost ALWAYS b/c they did some dumb shit like this or b/c someone snitched

Yup expelling the kid really taught him a lesson to never indulge in acid again. If you actually read the story you'd find out how he was busted its pretty simple how it all went down too.

Well tracking on a letter raises alarm bells. Espically how AUZ catch it from a remote eu country. To outsmart them NO TRACKING ON FROEIGN POSTAL LETTERS.

Tracking on anything signifies that something of worth is their to customs.
