A message about why there are so many busts lately

[Jimsbbc]

This is a cycle that happens every year. The feds crack down during election time or whatever reason, and we feel the heat. The only good thing is the feds will only allocate so many man hours to this because honestly, the citizens of the US do not care about steroid busts. Busting internet Steroid sources do not win much in the eyes of voters. Things like coke, meth, heroin, crack do make voters feel better when it is taken off the street. Anabolics are not a high priority item. This is a cyclical thing that vets here have gotten used to. Anyone who has been in the game for 5years or more expects a crack down from time to time. It will pass.

I do advocate keeping sources secure and in the hands of the few and trusted.

Example:

Source is said to be popped... but he's not. Still working, but now under a new e-mail, no orders failed to make it through, it was all a mistake...

This new e-mail should be given to only VERY TRUSTED people... and not given out ... all to often cocky kids give these sources out because they think they look good by handing them out... .more discretion needs to be implemented in dealing with this...

i like a source to be more or just as worried as me about getting caught. e.g. when i email a new source i want them to ask me where i got their email adress and who referred me to them etc. then i want them to check me out on the boards by maybe looking at my previous posts to gauge whether im good enough to do business with them.

also i have heard of a source who doesnt keep information at his computer and deletes all emails after he gets them in the interest of safety. these are the sources to deal with. not people who couldnt care less who knows who they are.

Excellent post .
I was refered to elite by a previous respectable mod who also refered me to a very trustworthy source who was once a mod here also. I used this source for 2 yrs without ever any seizure problems or any touble of any kind. Every thing was handle very discretly. When he got out of the biz he referd me to someone whom he spoke very highly of, so I contacted this new international source who is very well know on AB and has an open web site with his product list. Against my better judgment I placed an order. Due to my previous source having such high regards for him. Well that was in Oct. It is 4 months and 2 seizure letters later and I only received half my order. The guy says that he has reshipped thru his remailers. So we will see.
The point I am getting to is that I feel I could have avoided allthei s BS Had I not used a source who is so open with his trade.
I read once that any time you log onto AS boards/web sites The feds track you. They know when you order and they wait until you place a large order then they step in and either sieze it or bust you.
That was also the largetst order I had every placed at one time.
We all know the risk to this game but the way we handle are biz determines alot of how the feds are going to respond to us. We get careless and they are going to get us. We do not need to flaunt it in their faces.

Thanks frackal for posting my article, I only hope it makes a difference for us all. Please pass it around at the various boards, and lets stop visiting and patronizing those sources that advertise openly for business.

That is something that has needed to be said for a long time
Thanks Frackal

There are always going to be dip shits either running an open source board or asking questions on a non source board. People are just that nieve. Our jobs are too flame the shit out of them when they do and make them feel like shit. It's the source's job to protect themselves. ie asking who they got the email addy from. more times then not email addys are passed through many people, and a lot of times those people are not responsible enough to keep it discret. Basically, just being lazy will get you in trouble, whether you're a source or a consumer.

Completely agree and you're welcome. Thanks for writing it

I'm all for open source posting personally. Anyone who is dumb enough to openly advertise that they sell illegal narcotics, and better yet, give quantity discounts, is not the type of person with which I want to do business. Their getting popped due to their own ignorance/green just keeps the spotlight off the intelligent sources who stay low key.

Feds dont like people who brag about their illegal activity, and believe me you do not want to fuck with the Feds. People think they can win by knowing all the technacalities of the law but fail to realize the the Feds MAKE the laws. If they want you, they will get you. If they cant get you, they will make up a law to get you just like Al Capone and Raquetering.

A year ago this time on BBX, some guy traced an IP address to a Federal office then preceded to post the agent's name, address and phone number and start talking shit. We all know the ending of that story.

I don't think they made up a law with Al Capone... I think they got him on the theory of income tax evasion....
