Has there anyone been a single confirmed case of a controlled delivery in the UK for someone who is only buying personal amounts?

As I get more familiar with how this all works, it seems to me that, 99.99% of the time, all the security stuff computer side is utterly unnecessary if you are just a purchaser of personal quantities.

Nope, this is not the USA. Personal amounts, if found are seized and destroyed by the postal service and a letter is sent out. Honestly that much stuff gets seized they simply do not have the resources to follow up for small personal amounts of drugs.

Trying to build a case, and proving they have been ordered also makes it very time consuming, they only follow up on large amounts like bulk for resale.

Wasnt there a kid from the UK who did an AMA on here about police doing a CD on him for like 100 tabs of ecstasy? Not exactly a personal amount, but still, not a very large amount either.

Off topic: Are there a lot of people targeted in the u.s?

Most likely for personal amounts youre fine, but do you really wanna risk your freedom because you were too lazy to take a few extra steps? Im sure other buyers who use good opsec are glad there are still people like you though. When LE wants to make an example out of someone they go for the low hanging fruit.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I read a case on the SR1 forums where someone in the UK got a controlled delivery and was arrested. This was quite a while ago so I can't remember much about it. It may have been a larger than normal amount but I think it was personal amounts.

I would be amazed if you got busted for personal amounts but the security part of it is quite trivial so there is little reason to skip it. Make some deals, learn the process and improve your technique as you go.

Utterly unnecessary? Definitely not. Wait until the shit hits the fan then you'll be thankful you PGP'd and tumbled.

The ospec stuff is very easy to do to protect your self.. if its unnecessary or not is pure speculation. Why not do it to be safe? Laziness?
