quote:

Helms was arrested Jan. 5 on Laplace's Oak Fern Court, where police found 100,000 Xanax pills. And it wasn't his first time.

"Mathew Helms does have a previous history with the narcotics division," said Lt. Tanner Mangano, who heads the St. John sheriff's narcotics unit.

Also arrested was 26-year-old Megan De St. Germaine. Deputies executed another search warrant on the home of 24-year-old Brandon Zar. There they recovered more than 10,000 Xanax, and the investigation led to eight more arrests. All of the suspects are charged with possession with intent to distribute,

But it's not just the quantity of the drugs. Authorities are also concerned about the method of payment - something they've never seen before.

"They were using electronic transactions for their records called bit coins, and we are learning more about how they did transactions," Tregre said.


Someone on the OT has to know one or some of these people, eh.

Hmmm is that why that guy was asking for Canadian pharmacy information yesterday? He's trying to put together a similar plan?

Xanax is such an embarrassing thing for people to frequent. Really don't feel bad for the bar-tards at all.

Sad thing is, they really believe in what they are doing is for the good of everyone while more than likely there was a robbery, murder, or some other violent crime taken place during this photo-op.

LEO, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR DRUGS ON THE TABLE BUT YOU ALL.

What a moron.
If you are going to be a criminal try not to look so conspicuous.

Yeah, it's like they think they've accomplished something. But alas, the demand is there and will always be there, so someone else is already filling the void as we speak. They spend all of this money and manpower to go nowhere, and have actually "lost ground" since the WOD started, not to mention all of the collateral damage that has come from prohibition.

Where did the rest of them go? There's about 50 bags of pills on that table and there's a hell of a lot more than 2000 pills in each of those bags.
