This guy is fucked

[Juice Authority]

He used to go by the handle "annointed" on the boards. At least that's what annointed claimed after he disappeared for a while. I don't know where they get this "Roidraid" guy. I never heard of "Roidraid" but anyway, this guy is in some serious shit. He was arrested 2/21/04 and released 2/26/04. I find that to be very strange. BE SAFE GUYS! These steroid busts are hitting pretty close to home (i.e. Online sources).

Salesman pleads guilty in drug case

CHARGED WITH SELLING STEROIDS ONLINE

By Louise Red Corn

HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER


David Connerth, one of two men accused of trafficking in illegal muscle-building steroids, pleaded guilty yesterday to federal drug and money-laundering charges.

The 25-year-old medical salesman also agreed to forfeit more than $185,000 in cash, his home in Lexington and another in Versailles, and a Toyota Land Cruiser -- all bought with the proceeds of his Internet steroid business, according to prosecutors.

Connerth, a 2000 graduate of Transylvania University who sold prosthetic knees and hips, was arrested in April after a complex investigation led by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. It noticed suspicious patterns in Express Mail deliveries in Mississippi and Missouri that led to "Roidraid," which was Connerth's Internet alias, and boxes he rented at Mailbox Express and Box Stop in Lexington.

Ultimately, inspectors determined Connerth had mailed between 2,500 and 5,000 doses of illegal steroids through the mail and other services like Federal Express. He admitted yesterday that he used a woman in Missouri to ship the drugs and accept cash payments, which she would then deliver to Connerth.

Lexington police also arrested Connerth's housemate, Mark Pirschel, a University of Kentucky senior at the time; his case is pending in state court. His attorney, Lee Rowland, has said Pirschel was Connerth's roommate and nothing more.

According to statements yesterday by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Dicken, Connerth spent $50,000 of his illegal profits as the down payment on a $245,000 house on Altamount Drive in Versailles as well as on a home on Kavenaugh Lane in Lexington and on his Land Cruiser. In addition, the police found $125,000 in cash in a safe deposit box Connerth had at National City Bank, more cash in a secret compartment in his bedroom dresser and still more in other locations.

Burl McCoy, Connerth's attorney, said yesterday that his client will probably have to serve slightly more than a year in prison.

wonder if he still has any hidden away.

 

[powerforward]

how do they know that he used cash from his selling gear to put down on his house?
is that just a way for them to confiscate his home?

Where else does a guy 4 years out of college get $50K to put on a house? He surely put that part of the funds into a bank so there would've been a paper trail.

 

[evander1972]

Its similar to the proceeds of crime bill here, Its a way for them to screw you. They can basically say you were making any amount of coin so they can strip you of all assets. Its like every drug case, They make you out to be Pablo Escobar no mater what quantity your selling and this gives them the right to sieze everything even if you can prove it wasnt from proceeds.

JA.........servin' the news

He's got the shit on lockdown and thank god he's on our side.

The one year thing is what has me concerned. The only way this guy is only getting 1 year is because he's cooperating with Feds. It just doesn't make sense any other way. He really should be looking at a lot more time than just 1 year for a bust of that magnitude.

 

[georgie24]

if i read corectly all they caught him with was cash, no?

They didn't catch him with any drugs so there's no possession with intent to distribute.

 

[BigAndy69]

Seems to me like he had money laundering problems...

 

[solidspine]

To have that much cash maybe he was selling more than just gear!

That's true but money laundering and income tax evasion carry much more then 1 year.

 

[satchboogie]

not necessarily.

 

[mitchb]

I knew of a man who had a similar thing happen to him. He was not selling steroids, it was pot, but he also had all of his assets siezed. The feds never found any of the drugs, only money. They got him on a charge called conspiracy. He is serving 8 years for his crime.

 

[calveless wonder]

Seems to me like he had money laundering problems...

you think that's where all his problems stemmed from?

 

[Dial_tone]

Instead of buying a 2nd house at age 24 the moron should've started a cash business like a carwash to launder the money thru.

It's called "civil forfeiture" as opposed to "criminal forfeiture." The standards of proof are much,much lower for civil. It's basically an "in rem" procedure, "against the thing" -- in this case being against the houses -- rather than against the person committing the crime.

 

[Mavy]

So is this Annointed or what? Who is this Roidraid character they are talking about? Is this the name the feds gave him after he was raided???? lol.

 

[liquidmuscle]

bet they have his cpu

 

[Mavy]

bet they have his cpu

Glad I never did business with this guy. From a few conversations I had with him at VIP, he always seemed to be a bit of a hot-head if you ask me. Just somewhat arrogant. This always turned me off about him. That and the fact that he sold IP products. lol

[XxPhantoMxX]

isn't the maximum penalty for steroids 5 years? it seems in most cases of selling steroids they just take the offenders money/property w/o too much jail time..

 

[genarr3]

Guys he plead out. He wasn't tried and convicted. "Plea bargin" If he actually went to trial and was convicted by a jury or judge he'd be looking at alot more time. It was easier for all involved to do it like this.

 

[georgie24]

so he folded?

 

[The_Eviscerator]

Dumbass...

Feds look for a few telltale signs to bust someone.

Lifestyle change (Sudden big purchases with cash).

or... a person who always carried debt, suddenly debt free.

The best thing you can do if you are making huge wads of cash as a dealer is put it in a safe place and let it accrue. When you have enough, get out of the business and start laundering that shit.
