Fact: Tony76 ripped off hundreds of people for thousands of dollars.
I have been a member of SR from the beginning and not a very active buyer. ~10 purchases.
Out of the ~10 purchases I have made I have only NOT been ripped of on 1 order. I have even been ripped off without finalizing early by sellers only offering 50% refunds and never shipping in the first place. or sellers selling things like MDMA and shipping some shitty drug like methylone like "NextDayAir".
Fuck SR. Last time I get ripped off.

:o

If you're rate is 1/10 then you are gullible my friend.
-
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me nine times, shame on god.
Anyway, I'll bet money most of it was your fault to begin with.

This.
If Tony ran off that sucks for everyone, because he did a good job at building his rep - but what happened the other 8 times?
-
tony turned rotten he soured the air in here
-
fail

stay hiding behind throwaways, why dont you post under your original account?
all of you, well, at least most of you..

i bet tony's really enjoying this shitstorm he's created i know i would....

dude fuck off, don't bash the man like that. you cannot even fathom what it takes to operate on here and especially at his level. the amount of orders he reeled in on his sale are probably record setting here on the road and the sheer time involved in getting everything out is absurd. take in account that if he operates by himself which is the safest way, you can look at him being out about a week getting everyone's oders together and out the door in a safe yet efficient manner. if you honestly expected the normal 4-6 day wait through him from this sale then you're clearly not the type of person that should be dealing with him. you should have ordered from one of the other multitude of vendors on here THAT ARENT's #1 and probably would have your shit by now. tony didn't scam anyone and it makes me sick to think people would jump to that. quit being so selfish and thinking about yourself and let the man do his work. PJ just recently came back and everyone wash bashing him saying hes a scammer, the vibes on here are just really tense lately and its very unsettling, I know, but the #1 vendor on here IS NOT going to just up and out to his loyal customers cause trust me, he takes care of his loyals

i bet tony's really enjoying this shitstorm he's created i know i would....
rofl i know right, i was thinking the same. i'm on 7 business days now but not gonna gossip on here and make other people speculate, i'm gonna sit back and fucking let the man work.
-
As said yesterday I went on chase something about that. All it seams is that Tony HAS NOT scam anyone, in fact his "scam" would be peanuts compared to what he waged daily. He had no need or reason to do such at all.
OTH, nobody has listen from him in a few days, so all we can think is the worse to happened to him. The Canadian police has no info about arresting him, thus they take about 4/5 days to update after an arrest, Tony isn't seen since 25th, so we can expect the worse and hope for the best, as he wouldn't go on long holidays without a word.
I'll follow a hint I found somewhere else about Tony.
-
pure speculation
-
pure speculation
Until we've some solid info about what happened with Tony76, everything is pure speculation.
-
Icculus, are you really that fucking stupid? All you people who think Tony is just "catching up" really need to maybe take a week off of doing drugs, and let your brains clean out. It's soooo obvious this was nothing more than a HUGE scam! If he was still going to come through, he would have popped in and given an update by now.
-
THIS IS WHY YOU DONT BUY SHIT/SEND MONEY TO CANADA!!! There is NOTHING up there, they get all their shit from the USA and other countries and then-resell it! Think about it

just to lighten the mood in this thread a little, I LOVE the movie Canadian Bacon. Turns out you can be arrested in Canada for being in too many bad moods...lol

Pretty false blanket statement lol.
Not the marijuana and MDMA ... cocaine yes, heroin perhaps ( although west coast crews do import H directly I know ) and meth is made up here although not usually as good as the superlab stuff.

Don't know bout that one man- I have found some amazing shit in Canada- produced and all- and regardless a lot of shits resold- i dont mind that as long as its good quality and good price

If he's, for an instance, at the hospital how the fuck he would come here to update whatsoever?
Think on all possibilities not just in the "OMFG I was scammed" one.

I have no info on Tony, but I can say authoritatively that I would never send money to a Canadian vendor for opiates because there is an organized scam crew that has operated primarily out of Canada scamming people out of opiates online for at least the past eight years. They are rather infamous in private scene and anyone from any of the non-total-noob forums will back up what I say. Hydroguy, 2X4, maplesyrup, borat, torontojew (just a small selection of the scams they have run), the list of their scams is massive and nine out of ten of them shipped out of Canada. Usually they build up reputation for six months and then do a sale and scam. I have no clue if Tony is associated with them, but they are out there. They have easily made millions of dollars doing these rinse and repeat scams, sometimes they take single people for tens of thousands. They also do have access to large amounts of heroin, fentanyl powder and oxycontin, because they do always come through on orders up to the point that they have a large number of customers doing large orders, then they rip them all off and surface again a few months later using a different pseudonym. In short, Canada is infamous for opiate scammers that fit into the pattern people are saying Tony is now fitting into, and many people from private scene avoid all Canadian opiate vendors for this reason.

Yeah, you just try to relax and let the man do his work. Because right now he's working your ass, all your asses, like Ron Jeremy.
I always knew Tony was a bad seed. The way he spoke to his customers (his bitches) in this forum, and the way you all kissed his ass so hard. Never sat right with me, and I came on here and said it before.
The saddest thing is that people are still FE for OPI today. Still, today, after getting pounded by Tony, people are FE for OPI. I don't want to hear any bitching from you people when OPI fucks you, and he's gonna fuck you.
-
Look for the T-mart thread by art of scamming.
Dude pretty much nails it when outing Tony's whole operation.
As for Canada 'buying everything from the US' hahahahahaha yeah ok. MDMA and Meth is easier to make in Canada with less prison time, so guess where it all comes from. Cocaine used to come from the US now comes direct from cartels in Mexico. H comes in directly from Asia and middle east.
However LSD in Canada is still shit and all imported from Europe or the states

you are an asshole & an idiot. typical uninformed american yank as a matter of fact. canada has the best weed in the world and almost everyone smokes weed here fairly regularly. infact one of our major policitcal parties had made it an action item to legalize and tax marijuana. guess where most of that amazing, world class marijuana is grown? British Columbia. Vancouver area mostly. Guess where most of the heroin in all of canada comes in? SAME ANSWER!! BC / Vancouver. Infact most of the good bud that isnt grown in California is shipped down from BC. One of your head DEA assholes who wont ever do interviews out of fear of being owned and humiliated decicded to talk on a canadian radioshow for some reason. he went on and on about how big of a problem it is that so much "poisonous" canadian pot is flowing into the USA.
learn your facts before u post u dumb fuck. i guess high school is out for the day so you're big and bad posting on anonymous dark interweb eh? fuckin lame ass loser.

All true.
I lived in Canada for a while. What the nigger above says is true, every word.

Canada also started the first heroin maintenance trials in this hemisphere. And Vancouver--Insite--was their main location. I've got my concerns over Tony, like anybody, but I don't bash Canada: they've fought in too many of our wars, and I'm a lifetime junky, and their Heroin Maintenance Trials (NAOMI) gave me such hope, I even contacted them.
Vancouver itself is a bastion of decency towards addicts, not to mention having a strong large Asian poplulation who obtains excellen heroin, not the tar we get down south....we don't got to fight among ourselves: this is just a bad situation, no 'region's' fault.
-
Tony could've run this scam from any country it doesn't matter. SR let him run way too many finalize early offers in the main store during one of their biggest sales and this is the result. You'll never find Tony or sucessfully witch hunt any of his sock puppet or smurf vendor accounts it's pointless circle jerking. In the future don't finalize early

I was hoping you'd post about all this since you're probably one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to this sort of thing. Tony was definitely best known for his H, but having gone through a half-sheet of his L and hearing what others have posted about it, I think that that could have ended up being his big ticket item. I feel like if Tony was a part of that ring, he would have been listing oxys and other scripts, but that's just me.

Actually my old fruit, Canada has several direct routes from the Golden Crescent/Triangle areas and produces loads of puff that you Americans buy. You need to do your homework son...
-
Opiate vendors themselves are infamous for opiate scamming. The nature of the business especially if the vendor is doing their own supply. Look on Topix.com all the junky scams, they're from everywhere not just one country.
When you deal with a vendor make sure
a) they don't require FE
b) they aren't using their own stuff
c) they aren't all over the forums typing wackjob paranoid nonsense while high on own supply
Tony had numerous posts about the coke he was doing. That alone would scare me off. There is no organized crew of Canada scammers lol. I can point to dozens of scammers out of Netherlands and NYC who also sold opiates, built up trust, then disappeared.
-
Is there any reason Tony's account hasn't been closed? It's just sitting there, taunting us all with its false promises of 48 hours and new products.
-

yes because it's barely enough time for domestic canadian customers to have received their 420 packages let alone most of his custys which are american/intnl . chill out.
-
I am waiting on an order.....It will arrive... You guys are tweaking up a storm for no reason... Let people not receive their packages for a week or two and then start freaking the fuck out....... Your making yourself look like an idiot (just because)

Obviously you don't know what the fuck you are talking about dude. The West coast city of Vancouver B.C. is the drug capital of North America: the best and purest heroin,coke. and Ketamine arrives at that port everyday and is distributed across the continent. They have an infamous open drug bazaar for four solid blocks in east Van where you can buy just about anything: pills,crack,smack,meth, and weed (and this is right around the corner from police HQ!). It has the only government funded safe injection site in North America!B.C. also produces the some of the strongest indoor/outdoor weed in the world (ever hear of B.C. Bud?). The reason: Canadian drug laws are much more lenient compared to the severe and punitive laws of the U.S. You can go into any pharmacy here and buy Sudafed,codeine, or rigs without providing identification (so it's far easier to manufacture Meth). Most Canadian's support the common sense logic of harm reduction and see the American 'War on (some) Drugs' as a monumental failure. Check out the recent National Geographic documentary on heroin (on Youtube)where it cites Vancouver as being the heroin 'capital'. You are unwittingly encouraging American SR users to buy their drugs from Europe which has a far higher risk of interception by U.S. Customs.
Anyways, you folks complaining about Silk Road should either learn to manage your drug addictions a little more effectively so you don't panic, bitch, and flame just b/c a vendor can't be reached for a week or two or go back to the far riskier primitive option of dealing with sketchy street dealers. Your negativity is a bummer for those of us who believe in this almost utopian model to purchase mind altering substances. In fact, I could see easily see LE using this very strategy of pessimism to destroy the Silk Road community. As a classic Jimmy Hendrix phrase goes: "try learning instead of burning". Peace.
-
I'll put money on it the people causing the most commotion around here are people that don't even order from Tony............

No, there certainly is an organized scammer crew operating out of Canada, there is absolutely no doubt about this.

Anyone who ever thought they could trust Canadians is obviously misguided anyway.
My moma told me when I was a just little wee bastard, "son, don't you ever trust a person who puts gravy on fries".

Re-posting this for those who are ignorant of how BC works.
throwing in my 02 Canadian cents. This whole thread reached maximum retardation level one day after 4/20 and its the subsequent posts after that sale that are probably keeping Tony the fuck away from this place (I know it would keep me away). Tony is NOT a kingpin, just a very cool dude, trying to make some coin helping many, many, of you Judas fuckers out.
Let me break down the Canadian connection for you. 20 years ago I was in the scene and I can tell you, not much has changed in that time. Any of you who have ordered from Tony knows where he is. That area is controlled by 5 major groups/syndicates.
1) HA - They do not need SR, they wouldn't deal on SR, they would kill anybody they caught using SR as a distro.
2)UN - The HA virtually wiped out the UN, but there are still enough of them around to do business. They might use a site like SR, but they too, are low profile after being made an example of and would be most likely to just create their own version of SR, because they would never pay DPR's fees.
3)Asian Tong - Independent businessmen all who try to deal in bulk only and very rarely deal outside with Gweilo. They sell family to family, but again, bulk sellers usually, not nickel and dimers.
4) Bacon Brothers (Scorpions) - Half dead, influence fading, pissed off Cartel brothers including MS13. Too busy trying to stay alive. Managed to get a full patch killed an and officer's daughter paralyzed.
5) Surrey Sikhs - Again, too big for SR. They sell as many explosives as they do drugs, and only the younger ones sell drugs at all.
Tom Gisby was a go-between. Not a "KingPin." He managed to do business for 20 some years because he never ripped anybody off, he never played favorites. He dealt with every side of the above (except Tong). If making good money in the drug biz makes you a "KingPin" then there are hundreds of thousands of them in Canada alone. Tom Gisby would NOT waste his time nickel and diming on SR.

Lol this guy smuggled hundreds of millions worth of kilos to Canada for a well known triad of gangsters who are now all being eliminated by rival Canadian gangsters one by one. Has nothing to do with this site. They don't deal anonymously you do business with them face to face so if there's any problems they can kill you later much like Sosa in the movie Scarface. This guy is definitely not Tony76

so realistically how much money do we think tony ran off with?

I'm not too sure about recent times but a few years ago a LARGE percentage of the MDMA in the USA was from it's northern neighbor as well.

Yes this is also true. So basically If the U.S.A is big older brother in North America....Canada is certainly the little bastard kid brother who get's him in the shit....

Haha, I like this. On a serious note if tony76 is really gone (busted, scammer) then this is a sad state of affairs. I'm not completely crushed over my loss of the money, I was attempting to buy illegal drugs and plenty of drug deals go bad. This is not a legally sanctioned market(physical or online) where the sellers/owners have repercussions for stealing your money. If something else serious happened to tony that has put him out of touch with SR temporarily then I will be extremely relieved. I'm more interested in his acid connection because I really like his acid, quantities and prices. Equal quality and better prices than ~90% of all LSD dealers on SR. I need me some steady acid this summer, i'm not ready to stop tripping yet!
Also I am not trying to belittle anyone else and say that your loss of money is meaningless, it completely depends on whether or not the orders actually come through and how much you have invested per how much you can afford to lose irl. I agree that we should expect the worst and hope for the best, but this is just quite a disaster brewing.
-
This motherfucker sent me 1g of "MDMA" that clearly was nothing even remotely close to MDMA. Ketamine, maybe, but more likely rat poison. People acting disoriented and sleepy on it. DEFINITELY not MDMA. Fuck this guy.
-
That is weird, no one else got bunk/poison product from tony, Im pretty sure he wouldn't dose you guys with poison, he was defiantly to smart than that maybe he mixed it up with special k, cuz ive only heard of tony selling quality, or not in recent times :'( selling nothing. Never heard of him sending false product, wouldn't even make sense now, because sending rat poison would still cost him money and the police would defenatly get way more on SR ass if a vendor sent out rat poison.
-
I believe rat poison is a blood thinner.

Maybe it was an honest mistake, but it was DEFINITELY not mdma. Wouldn't be the first time I got something other than what I actually ordered on SR.
-
There was a post around or before 4/20 saying his K was shit, most definitely cut.
-
I believe rat poison is a blood thinner.
actually, warfarin type compounds (such as those found in rodent poison) are actually anticoagulants - not blood thinners.
They inhibit various liver functions which in turn prevents the blood from forming clots.
If you want a blood "thinner" then Aspirin/salicylic acid is one of those.
Just thought i would set the record straight.

It's apparently pleasant, but pretty bad for you.
Thomas Edison has an account of the time an opiate addict came into his workshop in the 1880s:
http://www.lateralscience.co.uk/edison/index.html
Edison gives him a whole bunch of morphine & opium he had lying around, and the guy asks for any strychnine (rat poison) he has too, saying that it's as good as morphine.
-
Well sorry to here another one went bad But Maybe him & Noriega won The Paradise Trip & needed the money to enjoy the vacation that was being given away
-
I'm reading a great book on the various ways we've gotten loaded over the centuries, and there was a huge addiction to strychnine at one point...people were addicted to it...apparently great for impotence and other maladies...and I thought I'd tried every fucking thing, but apparently I missed out on strychnine! :'(
-
Icculus, are you really that fucking stupid? All you people who think Tony is just "catching up" really need to maybe take a week off of doing drugs, and let your brains clean out. It's soooo obvious this was nothing more than a HUGE scam! If he was still going to come through, he would have popped in and given an update by now.
Some fucking helping friendly book that is. All these scumbag trustfund phish kids and their fuckwad games. Hows that soy you fucktards?
-
I traded one of my kidney's for an ounce of Afghan Heroin pebbles with Tony...and I am still sitting here waiting for those fucking pebbles: less one kidney and with these horrific stitches across my gut. I guess I won't be doing that again anytime soon.
Anyone else out there lose a vital organ in a trade with Tony?
-
i bet tony's really enjoying this shitstorm he's created i know i would....
haha two things have caught my eye with this Tony thing...I've never bought off him and would probably never have done but Anthony76? haha Tony76? lol you sure you aint him? just read alot of ur posts and a bit sus?lol oh and its amazing what stories get put up on different threads about the same incidents.....to the guy who posted above me about his kidney:

After a nasty car accident I arrived at the hospital in a coma with 3 broken my ribs and both legs. While I was in a coma for 2 weeks nobody came to visit me: no family,no friends... but when I finally awoke I saw that Tony was at my beside looking upon me with with the healing love of Jesus. He had been there everyday and all day since my admission!! He even paid all my bills and even fed my pet monkey Billy!!
When I was released from the hospital I was thinking of taking the bus home but Tony was there waiting for me with a big shiny limousine, a bottle of champagne,an ounce of Afghan pebbles and a bag of 1cc rigs!!! It's true!!
Needless to say I was feeling no pain for at least 3 months.
You the man Tony!!Thanks!! 5/5 FE on good rep.

Just when you think it's not worth reading anymore because of all the negative energy being thrown at undeserving individuals (I happen to have had very good dealings with Tony76) and then this last couple entries bring it all up to a digestible level again. I know, doing drugs puts me in some moods too and we gotta blame...

Actually is a great book. I've read others on drugs and how and why we do them, but this one is best and most thorough. It's called "The Pursuit of Oblivion" by Richard Davenport-Hines. When none of my 'guys' came thru, I found I had lots of time for reading, and wasn't nodding out as usual.

We dont take kindly to books in these parts :)

Haha, nah, I know junkies anyway, do a *lot* of reading...we get real good at waiting. Man do we get good at it. If I know heroin's coming, I can go almost into hibernation mode...I"ve sat in houses for over 24 hrs, waiting on 'the man....' And it seems, if I know dope is coming, that other activities, even tho they'd distract me, aren't enjoyable. I used to always have a little paperback in my back pocket, as I knew I'd be sitting, when 'chasing down shit.'
And if any of you are ever unlucky enough to have to do a little time...well, you do a lot of reading there too.
Ah, books have saved me. Shit, I remember reading Junky in the army, and thinking fuck me, this sounds really cool :)
Then again, maybe not... 8)

Best one was the way the British conducted the opium wars. That was true industrialized drug dealing.
Chinese Emperor - "We don't want your opium here. Opium bad"
British Government - "You will let us sell opium to your people."
Chinese Emperor - "Oh yeah, who fuck you to say this to us? You and what army?"
British Government - "The British army, you wont attack our state sponsored drug dealers otherwise we shall fuck you."
Chinese Emperor - "FUCK YOU ENGRISH DOG!"
*Brief fighting*
Chinese Emperor - "Oh shit you kicked fuck out of us."
British Government - "Yeah...now you will let us sell our drugs on your shores and sell us your interesting shit for discount rates and we will take Hong Kong for about 150 years...cunt."
= Awesome.
