The link shows RGN stopped responding to emails at the same time as this RC vendor bust in NL. Their website was registered to an address 5 mins away from the location of the bust in a small town of only 30k people. That pretty much confirms it's RGN.
This is potentially related to AB's bust as they sold Ketamine and MDMA on there with the same handle in 2016. In recent times they focused on RCs and were one of the biggest clearnet RC vendors advertising kilos available to buy. They sold fent analogues (correctly labelled) worldwide including to the US which might have been another catalyst for the investigation.
They were very easy to find and made no efforts to hide their identities and location of the clearnet operation. I'm told people had DHL packs turn up with "Research Group Nederland" on the invoice with their valid return address.
I know there's going to be a lot of "low hanging fruit" comments and that's pretty much true, but they were really shaking up RC prices in Europe in recent months. They had a massive inventory and very low prices relative to the competition.
Allegedly the 3 operators are being held with only lawyer contact while orders on the website are being cancelled so LE may have access to the order database. As I understand it orders were not deleted after a period of time so if you made an order that might attract some unwanted attention it's probably wise to burn your drop and lay low.
