Well done, US gov. Another unnecessarily ruined life because you hate self-determination.

Something not adding up. Homeland Security "intercepted' 7g, pushed the panic button and alerted other authorities to bring down a college kid? For 7g? Get fucked.
Kid was dealing, and a pissed off customer/competition threw him under the bus.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the comments defending the kid, and condemning the utter violation of privacy by the paper.
Also, he was CARRYING the drugs, scale, in a duffel bag? Yeah, inconspicuous.

That kid better hopes he doesn't go to prison, he won't make it. In other news, since when is half ounce of LSD $500?

Love the new math:
7g mdma $280 55g bud $1100.... $550/oz??
I bet $10,000 in pay went to all those agencys what a great deal.

Well the first problem is going through the university or college mail room to obtain your drugs. It seems that every single story that I hear about people getting caught is because they get it sent to their college mailbox.

For a Princeton student he's pretty fucking stupid:
"Edgren was carrying a duffel bag containing about half an ounce of liquid LSD, 55 grams of marijuana, five grams of hashish, 60 Adderall pills, a laptop computer, two digital scales, and $400 in cash..."
Why on earth would you carry all that to do the most risky part of the whole thing?

And THAT is why you don't sign for packages.
[1 Points] None:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Never order international. Literally every buyer arrest story I've read has been from an international order, its not worth your freedom to save 15 bucks per gram of mdma

This was definitely a DNM arrest. I just wish I could figure out which one, but it's not a federal case so it's not going to show up in PACER, and I hate looking up local court districts and never finding anything useful...
I'm mostly annoyed at the amount of effort that went into pursing this kid. All they intercepted was one measly package containing 7g of MDMA... and that was enough to spark this full-on investigation involving multiple police departments, federal agencies, task forces, etc. etc.
"Officers with the county prosecutor's office, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Princeton University Department of Public Safety, the county sheriff's office, New Jersey State Police, and the Hamilton, Lawrence, Princeton and Trenton police assisted in the investigation."
Gotdamn! All of this to bust one 20 year old college kid who basically is a nobody in the drug world and had a chump change amount of drugs.
All on the taxpayer's dime... This country has a serious problem with how we are spending our money...
Oh yeah, not to mention how much it's gonna cost to pay for this kid while he rots in jail... And the fact that this ordeal is probably going to prevent him from becoming a productive member of society.
I'm sure the police/feds are pounding their chest over this 'win'... SMH
