Busted & sentenced

[tical]

Been a while since I've posted, but I've been lurking here and there.

Long story short I got busted by the feds, got a deal & ended up on probation. All for ordering some shit from overseas. No I didn't rat on anyone... the feds don't give a shit about "Hong Fat" in China.

Anyway, I know I'm an idiot for getting shit sent to my house (I'm ready for the flames) - but I just got too comfortable. It didn't seem like a big deal to place that order because I knew I wasn't selling, etc.

I allowed myself to get tempted with how cheap raw ingredients were and how easy it was to google & find a contact willing to send. Minimum order amounts fucked me. When customs intercepted the package, it made me look like a dealer obviously & prompted the fun 8am raid by about 12 agents.

IF YOU GET BUSTED, YOU WONT BE DEALING WITH LOCAL LE, YOU WILL BE DEALING WITH THE FEDS!

Anyone here thinking about or actually ordering gear online, PLEASE educate yourself on these things & make smart decisions:

1. Federal drug equivalency table
2. Federal drug quantity table
3. Units of measurement for anabolic steroids
4. Federal sentencing guidelines

For example:

100g of RAW Boldenone (liquid) would be considered 200 units (because .5ml = 1 unit).

This would fall in the range of a base offense level of 8 (at least 250 but less than 1,000 units). You would most likely get probation if this was your first offense.

BUT

100g of RAW Testosterone (powder) would be considered 4,000 units (because .025g of anything not liquid or pill = 1 unit).

This would fall in the range of a base offense level of 12 (at least 2,500 but less than 5,000 units). According to the sentencing guideliens, this would be 10-16 months.

If that SAME Testosterone was in a liquid form, the measurement would be different & you would be at a level 8.



I'm not trying to teach anyone to be slick about this stuff, just trying to help educate a few bros because I never bothered learning this information myself until I had to, and by that time it was too late.

Sure probation isn't going to be that bad, but 15k in legal fees, and over a year of hearing "still under investigation" with no real information seriously displaces your life and really makes it hard to have any ambition for anything - in the back of your mind, every day - you think you might just have to "go away".


I know this is a legal thread, but I thought this would be a good place to post since it will get more eyes on it.


Be safe everyone. Don't let yourself get too comfortable.

Nice timely post.

Incredibly sorry for your situation tical but agree that this thread serves as a great warning to all. I have been guilty at times of complacency but you just cannot afford to be with what we do.
