thats the thing, they really can't. it's not illegal to attempt to purchase drugs. but it is illegal to purchase fake drugs (thats why cops use those burn bags with fake coke and shit that we've all seen on cops during street stings). but i guess that if you have an e-mail that says you bought shit that would be like a reciept? i really don't know 100%

how can they prove that YOU sent the email?

its just all so iffy
 
i would think they know you got the pack and what was supposed to be in it according to the email, but they didn't actually see what was in it so they can't prove it was illegal. Anyway, that is what i am hoping.

thats what its all about, they have to prove everything..and the only sure-fire proof is posession or admition. so if you weren't found in posession, no matter what the police say they can and will do to you, just never admit to a god damn thing, and you'll be safe. in my honest opinion, they will never ever be able to bust all of the buyers.. it's just not going to happen. hundreds of thousands of buyers? thats hundreds of thousands of court documents, thats hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on manpower to process all of this shit, thats hundreds of thousands of court dates.. see where im going with this? most of us have read the article where the police said "we aren't sure how we are going to bust all of the buyers..." . of course thats what they are going to say. , if they were to say "we're not going to bust the buyers" no one here would be this paranoid, no one would give a fuck. because we would all be in the clear..oh which by the way...we are!! :)

The big thing is a lot of people use fake names and other bogus info when ordering A.A.S. so tracking end users will be difficult but these same people went out and used their credit cards with real info for the ancillaries and kits. That stuff leaves a trail like a drunk, bleeding person walking in three feet of snow. Stuff may just start getting real interesting. Especially for people who made multiple orders. That will open some eyes when the feds start digging through the data.

that's the kind of stuff that will make people go down HARD. . .tax evasion + money laundering = racketeering which = big sentences and trebled fines/damages :worried:

Can the feds track any of us through hushmail or cyber accounts? I know it's encrypted, but just had to ask..

Yes. Pretty easily too. Mail servers like them also track your IP address etc. I know in some of these cases now pending the feds have E-mail records going back years. LEO has been tracking some of these labs and companies for years, since 2005, as the news reports. That is a lot of data.

I've heard rumors that LE have been in contact with homebrew supply places like Lemelange too, anyone know any more about that?

I haven't heard anything about Lemelange being busted. It would not surprise me a bit if LE did talk to them (and a host of other sites). I'll keep an eye out.

The critical issue is that people need to be aware of what is going on.

Since there is a close and delete policy with all of the other threads, I would recommend this one gets turned into a sticky. The more we all know the better.

I wasn't saying she got busted, just that they may be leaning on her.

I would be amazed if GPZ and other such suppliers aren't under some kind of pressure too.

I know the dea/fda were leaning on few for selling IGF-1, but I think that was cleared since it isn't GH which they were (fda/dea) were orginally stating..
 
heres a question no one has asked yet:

do you believe that EVERYONE who has bought is "in danger" or only people whos sources were busted? i.e. do you believe that L.E. had acccess to every email sent thru cyberrights?

good thing i never fucked with that shit!
 
Don't know if remailers were busted but in the case of Ret if you go to his site you will see that he has takin' down his price list - also not answering e-mails.
 
jmead said:
anyone heard anything about diablo labs? peak pharm?


Just another UG Lab that probably has half the label claim if you lucky and a pretty easy paper trail to follow Im sure.

Just dont be the guinea pig is my advice.

And these claims from peeps being in communication with said source. Well, I would look out for that.

Remember when certain "respected" members on here were claiming to be in touch with a source who was on the run from Interpool? What a joke that was. Turned out the source went scammer.

Id mention names, but I just get called a hater and too let it go.

So much for the "community"
 
People talk about all the UG labs that got taken out, but between the China thing this summer and this business from last week, the pipeline for GH out of Asia is gone. That's gonna affect far more than the ankle biters on the boards trying to save a few bucks on cheap gear, that's gonna hurt the advanced, elite, and pro guys too.
 
oh well, serveral ug labs got busted and several will come back that's for sure. is like the war against cocaine,meth,mariguana etc etc.. there's always tons and tons crossing across the borders every day... that's the same thing for us the bb community. the prices will go up for sure...

even when I used to get my prescription with my "men's clinic" I called and they told me that they are not prescribing any hormones at this time, and I'm doing it legally because of my test levels are always low and I pay from my own POCKET for the blood work..!!! my insurance won't pay... so what's up?? LE is also looking into those anti aging clinics too??? of course they are !!!

china got their "bowl" from LE for helping them that's for sure... hey bros and guess what??? the olimpic games are going to china!!!!!!! their economy is going up!!! hehehe! MFKERS!

They don't have to prove everything. They need enough to charge you. And then they need enough persuasion to get a judge or jury to believe it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Mainly they want to charge you with a shit load of stuff and hope that you plea guilty to a lesser offense.

But you are correct never admit anything. As a matter of fact don't even say a single word to the police. Don't say a single word to anybody. You get a lawyer and he tells you when to talk.

[edit] Conspiracy in the United States
Conspiracy has been defined in the US as an agreement of two or more people to commit a crime, or to accomplish a legal end through illegal actions. For example, planning to rob a bank (an illegal act) in order to raise money for charity (a legal end) remains a criminal conspiracy because the parties agreed to use illegal means to accomplish the end goal. A conspiracy does not need to have been planned in secret in order to meet the definition of the crime. One legal dictionary, law.com, provides this useful example on the application of conspiracy law to an everyday sales transaction tainted by corruption. It shows how the law can handle both the criminal and the civil need for justice.

[A] scheme by a group of salesmen to sell used automobiles as new, could be prosecuted as a crime of fraud and conspiracy, and also allow a purchaser of an auto to sue for damages [in civil court] for the fraud and conspiracy.

Conspiracy law usually does not require proof of the specific intent by the defendants to injure any specific person in order to establish an illegal agreement. Instead, usually the law only requires the conspirators have agreed to engage in a certain illegal act. This is sometimes described as a "general intent" to violate the law.

In United States v. Shabani, 513 U.S. 10 (1994) the United States Supreme Court ruled: U.S. Congress intended to adopt the common law definition of conspiracy, which does not make the doing of any act other than the act of conspiring a condition of liability" at least in so far as to establish a violation of a narcotics conspiracy under 21 U.S.C. § 846. Therefore, the Government need not prove the commission of any overt acts in furtherance of those narcotics conspiracies prohibited by 21 U.S.C. § 846. The Shabani case illustrates that it is a matter of legislative prerogative whether to require an overt step, or not to require an overt step in any conspiracy statute. The court compares the need to prove an overt step to be criminally liable under the conspiracy provision of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, while there is no such requirement under 21 U.S.C. § 846.

The Supreme Court pointed out that common law did not require proof of an overt step, and the need to prove it for a federal conspiracy conviction requires Congress to specifically require proof of an overt step to accomplish the conspiracy. It is a legislative choice on a statute by statute basis.

California criminal law is somewhat representative of other jurisdictions. A punishable conspiracy exists when at least two people form an agreement to commit a crime, and at least one of them does some act in furtherance to committing the crime. Each person is punishable in the same manner and to the same extent as is provided for the punishment of the crime itself. [2]

One example of this is The Han Twins Murder Conspiracy case, where one twin sister attempted to hire two youths to have her twin sister killed.

One important feature of a conspiracy charge is that it relieves prosecutors of the need to prove the particular roles of conspirators. If two persons plot to kill another (and this can be proven), and the victim is indeed killed as a result of the actions of either conspirator, it is not necessary to prove with specificity which of the conspirators actually pulled the trigger. (Otherwise, both conspirators could conceivably handle the gun—leaving two sets of fingerprints—and then demand acquittals for both, based on the fact that the prosecutor would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, which of the two conspirators was the triggerman). In order to achieve a conviction on charges of conspiracy, is sufficient to prove that a) the conspirators did indeed conspire to commit the crime, and b) the crime was committed by an individual involved in the conspiracy. Proof of which individual it was is usually not necessary.

It is also an option for prosecutors, when bringing conspiracy charges, to decline to indict all members of the conspiracy (though their existence may be mentioned in an indictment). Such unindicted co-conspirators are commonly found when the identities or whereabouts of members of a conspiracy are unknown; or when the prosecution is only concerned with a particular individual among the conspirators. This is common when the target of the indictment is an elected official or an organized crime leader; and the co-conspirators are persons of little or no public importance. More famously, President Richard Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator by the Watergate special prosecutor, in an event leading up to his eventual resignation.

This is common when the target of the indictment is an elected official or an organized crime leader; and the co-conspirators are persons of little or no public importance. More famously, President Richard Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator by the Watergate special prosecutor, in an event leading up to his eventual resignation.

Sounds like to me and I am no law dog but after the agreement is made to commit a crime there has to be an overt step to call it conspiracy, ie.. contacting the source for a price list, he sends it to you. this would be the conspiracy then the buyer taking the overt step of " how do I pay you?"

Yep, if there is an agreement to rob a bank, the mere act of buying a ski mask would technically be considered conspiracy. Or at least that was one example given in the BAR review book I have, lol.

actually that means he was wrong.... that overt step is the proof, the "agreement" to commit the crime in writing by both parties is alot of evidence. therefore i was correct and his definition did nothing but prove my point so thanks bro :)
 
Still can't find any news on Golden Triangle. A person in PA sold Golden Triangle gear. I see the reports of all the busts and the indictments that name names, but when it comes to the guys busted in PA they are not releasing any names. Any one heard why that is?
 
I talked with South Beach Rejuvination Clinic yesterday and the 3 pharmacy's they use are having problems getting raw materials currently. They can get brand name stuff but its big money$$$$ And this is a legit operation so I cant imagine UG's getting things much easier.

that is a loophole they have been trying to close for a while with the compunding pharmacies. in the past they have been able to compound your drugs oftentimes much cheaper than you could get it from your regular pharmacy. big pharma has been trying to get regulations in place that would cut off the suppliers to the compounders, or force them to use big pharma as source. so that way the compounded materials will not be cheaper than the regular Rx.

Um, no. Muffinwhatever was correct. His example merely showed conspiracy to commit a crime by two separate parties (each would be a different charge of conspiracy to a different party).

Anyone seen or heard anything about SWISHER yet?

I haven't seen anything. But, I won't ask the question either. I have looked. If he is still out there I'm sure he is laying very low. Let's not let LE know about anyone still out there.
