Question for the BEST! Rick-o!

[Aaron Jolie]

Lets say you are a very LONG TIME internet source (longest domestic) and you are sending your orders via email to your supplier who is in another country (Mexico). Now, the money is shipped via usps, ups, fed-ex to a mbe that is in MY name.... basically i am sending money FROM my account to my other account in another state. A boarder town of Mexico and one of my pharmacies guys picks it up once a week after hours.
If the feds intercept the money, ect... can the go down to Mexico and arrest the receiver of my mail? Then turn around and nail me for conspiracy for sending the money?
Whats your opinions on these questions? How hard would it be to get arrested given the facts?

Let me know Mr Collins & ect....

Thanks An Old school player...

I need additional facts and clarifications. PM me tomorrow. (I'll publicly post thereafter as appropriate.)

They can't cross International Borders and make an arrest as a US Agency bro. It would have to be in tandem with a Mexican Agency. I find it VERY HARD to believe that any type of scenario would ever develop over a steroid case though. That's the kind of shit that they bother with the red tape, only when we are talking about a huge International Drug Smuggler. Like Pablo Escobar for example. Even then, as I said, it would be as an assisting agency, following the lead of the Agency of the Country in which the suspect resides. Given that the Mexican Government cares even less about Steroids than the Feds here do(especially out by the Cali/Mex Border), I would doubt time would ever be wasted trying to set up such a scenario.

However, charging YOU with Conspricy is a different story. They have to prove that the money was intended for the sole purpose of buying drugs. If they already know that the person you deal with is involved in criminal activity(perhaps they have been watching his packages or something), then they could charge on that alone. Remember Craig Titus's situation a few years back. He introduced a guy to a guy, and it ended up that one of the guys involved was being investigated for trafficking Extacy Tabs. Craig got charged because his voice ended up on wire taps. All he did was introduce the two guys. He never made dime one. He ended up with probation, but later served 2 years, because they tested him for Steroids one day, and of course he failed. He later stated that he was tested because the judge didn't like him, or whatever. Point is, he still got charged with conspiricy. If they know something about your source, then they have you on charges already, IF they so chose.

I know of one source in Mexico who got popped by the feds for the transfer of ketamine into the US. It was in conjunction with the Mexican authorities and it happened very quickly.

Aaron, I'm glad that our private informational communications were helpful to you, and thank you for your praise of LEGAL MUSCLE.

The most publicly relevant point here is that there are a variety of ways that a person can come to the attention of law enforcement, and what action they can then take depends on how much they know. Alone, a fact may not mean much. But in combo with other facts, it can mean a lot. It can add up to enough to get a warrant or make an arrest. Money going from one account to another may mean nothing in a vaccuum. But that's not what would attract attention anyway. Other information would. This other, additional information might put the money transfers into a very different context. It could suggest money laundering or drug trafficking, depending on the nature and extent of this other evidence. Get the general picture?
