Like I posted in the other thread I have been bitching about websites selling steroids over the internet for 4 years. People just don't get it. Everyone thought Napster was going to last forever too. When the governments decide they have had enough it will disappear and the internet access to steroids will be a fond memory of the good ol days. It's not just this article. Below is the report by GAO to congress for the steroid bill. Sources will make as much as they can for a few years and be so blatant that the governments will take measures to stop it. Whether that's by joint cooperation or by raising the penalties to 20 years for possession. Mandatory. The people running these sites are fucking it up for those of us who will want to buy steroids in 5 years or 10. Because they will be long gone and people will have to go deep underground to find what they want. WTF was so bad about everyone using encrypted email and source checks? It worked, no one paid attention, and it was just as reliable.

Ulter, great post - thanks for this. Did you read the section about hushmail?
Excerpt:
Further, dealers operating through the Internet typically communicate with individual
customers through e-mail, and establish e-mail accounts using fictitious identifying
information and mailing addresses with one of the free e-mail services.8 Some officials
reported to us that the use of free e-mail accounts with fictitious account holder identity
information is found frequently in investigations, and is many dealers’ preferred means of
communication with customers. Such accounts add an additional layer of
anonymity to the dealer and complexity to law enforcement efforts to track down and
identify them.
Of particular concern to some officials are offshore providers of free e-mail services such
as Hushmail,9 based in Ireland, and Operamail, based in the Netherlands. Officials at one agency told us that they believe it is too risky to approach these providers with requests
for voluntary cooperation because they can ignore nondisclosure requests with impunity,
and may intentionally or unintentionally tip off the subjects of investigations.
Internet drug crime investigations are further complicated by service providers who strip
e-mail messages of information about their point of origin. E-mail generally contains
“header” information identifying various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, including
“routing” and “originating” IP addresses. IP addresses may prove useful in determining
the identity of the user of a particular e-mail account. However, in some cases,
investigators find that some service providers automatically eliminate origination and
routing IP addresses from e-mail sent through their services. Hushmail, for example,
strips origination IP addresses and substitutes the IP Address of Hushmail’s own
computers on its customers’ communications. The result, for example, is that when a
steroids dealer in Florida sends an e-mail to a customer in Virginia, the e-mail that arrives
in Virginia has Hushmail’s originating IP Address in Ireland rather than the actual IP
originating address of the dealer.
