Aurum Rx US Domestic UGL Busted by Feds

Lol, return to sender. That old chestnut...

It was only 3 lbs of steroid powder or ~1.5 kg. Not 100.0 kg!

The $200k and $250k figures quoted in the media are bullshit.

LE always lies about dollar amounts. Hell, they’ll bust someone for a pound of weed and say $15000 street value, LOL!

1 It was actually Homeland Security the one who sent the alert to the PD
'Pea Ridge PD received word from Homeland Security that a suspicious package addressed to a Pea Ridge apartment was intercepted ...'

2 Why an airport and not sea freight?
They must have ran out of stock and need the shipment ASAP
'...was intercepted at LaGuardia airport.'

3 9-11 eve? security is at it's highest on that day, in case terrorists decide to celebrate their only major hit in American soil
'On September 10, Pea Ridge PD received word from Homeland Security that a suspicious package...'

4 $200k worth of gear?
assuming and average of $2000 per kilo, that was 100 Kg+ of powders, sent by plane
'The package contained over $200,000 worth of steroids and was addressed to...'

5 Even LE knows something doesn't add up = nobody can be that stupid.
"Some of it just didn't add up," Lisenbee said.'

6 They sent a similar package about a week ago
'...what they found was a similar package addressed to the same person as the one intercepted at LaGuardia a week and a half before.'

7 Maybe I wasn't supposed to say it, but not a good stealth as food packages don't justify any powders inside them.
'Inside the package was four smaller packages, all resembling food. Two of them contained a white powder substance...'

8 Thailand?
'...would actually order steroids from either China or Thailand'

9 $350 for handling 100 Kg of illegal substances?
'...would pay McDaniel $350 in exchange for every packaged shipped.'

10 He'd go down one way or another
' ...Roop was recently arrested in Louisiana for distributing steroids involved in an undercover operation.'

11 Not only a huge risk for just $350, but he also has to figure out how to cash out from Bitcoin?
'....gave him the opportunity to make some extra money, it just didn't work out the way McDaniel wanted to, because he was started to get paid in Bitcoin and it prevented him from using the money from where he wanted to use it,'

Damn, 350 per pack. That’s a nice exchange

This is why most sources dont offer expedited shipping, the slower container ship over the Pacific ocean is much safer simply from a statistical perspective. 9/11 plus airplane was not a good choice. Didn't matter, apparently they already had them locally as well.

So it looks like they incidentally spotted a suspicious package by X-rays (probably because powder is denser than soap noodles), and not because they tapped their Emails?

If so, that means that they aren't that focused on gear
as they are on hard rec drugs.

 

[master.on]

Anyone knows what steroids they seized?
The news release doesn't say that.

I got a feeling that cops didn't even test the raws at first
rather, they found the addressee, who quickly began rolling when confronted by cops.

It makes sense
(if TV shows are to be believed), lab results can take several months, but a confession is quicker.
