Said operation/perpetrator is now in federal court as part of a RICO investigation 
Recent thread
Article regarding the situation
One of the original threads from 2012
ETA:
tl;dr
- Tigerdroppings poster finds a guy on craigslist advetising fresh Maine lobsters at a great price, overnight shipping included
- Orders from them, everything is great. Shares with the board, over the years many other posters order through this guy with great results
- Yesterday the owner of the company where the guy selling the lobster was a partial owner posted on the board with information regarding the situation. ALLEGEDLY, said person set up a shell company to wholesale lobsters at a lower price, marked them up a bit, then essentially sold them off the book originally, but eventually had a website of his own. That person is now under federal indictment for RICO violations, aka organized crime

Just to clarify, no posters are implicated in this case.
The owner of the lobsters that was getting skimmed, posted on the F&D Board yesterday

IIRC Wick wanted fresh lobster and started browsing Maine Craigslist. He got a good deal and shared it with us. Later the Lobstaman joined TD and made his own website.

The only way to do it is order from Maine. The lobsters in the tanks at our grocery stores just suck.
