dont know if anyones posted this but it has some interesting info as to how much genxxl was making... Axio Labs bust update

Axio labs is not out of business – they’re just busted. They’ve been busted before, and they haven’t closed up shop, so I’m not sure why people are freaking out about this recent bust. I guess the websites being down is kind of a big deal, because we haven’t seen that before when Axio is busted, but we’re talking about a company who has had millions of dollars in product seized in Canada, had the owner arrested in Ireland, etc…and not gone out of business.

Remember, we don’t know the full details yet, all we know is that some people from Axio were busted in Cyprus. Were these guys high-up in the company, was it the owner, were they just remailers? We really don’t know. What I will stress is that there have been numerous busts in the upper echelon of Axio/GenXXL in the past, and the company has kept chugging along.

At the moment details are still filtering in, and it’s difficult to get a handle on what information is accurate and what information is just speculation. From the clues in the original Cyprus report, we know the alleged ages of the people arrested. None of them match the age of Axio Labs owner, Brian Wainstein. So it may be (or not) that the owner of the company is still free, while his employees have been busted – I’ve gotten an unconfirmed report that this happened on the other (Turkish) side of Cyprus recently, as well as in Sweden.

We’ve seen this before, when Glenn England was busted in Canada…but we’ve also seen the opposite, when Wainstein served time in Ireland. Neither of these incidents caused GenXXL/Axio to go out of business.

However, Brian Wainstein has used several aliases throughout the years, and has invested a considerable sum of money into procuring fake identification – we know this not only because his original alias was “Barry Benjamin” but also because Dr.S from SteroidsLive.com was friends with a guy whose job it was to get fake ID for Wainstein.

Remember, even though GenXXL/Axio was busted, this doesn’t mean they’re out of business. Wainstein was busted on Sept 16th, 2003, he didn’t serve any time until July 30th of 2007, and he continued to operate GenXXL throughout that entire time. And remember even though he was sentenced to 2 years, he only served 4 months, while his remailer Glenn England was sentenced to 30 months and served no time at all (both continue to deal steroids).

So just because we saw a bust that involved GenXXL/Axio, doesn’t mean they’re out of business, and even if the owner was arrested, it hasn’t mattered in the past.

Remember, although this bust involves Axio, I’m not saying that the company is finished, that their websites won’t come back online, or whatever…I’m just saying that some people who worked for the company were busted. Whether or not it’s a big deal remains to be seen, but certainly Axio has gone through similar problems, and come out alright.

And interestingly enough, we’re seeing a very nice 40% off sale from Axio right now. I seem to remember another company, by the name of AP, who had a similar sale going on, back in the Operation Raw Deal days. The prices were really good, but instead of getting steroids in the mail, all of the customers got a letter from the FDA, while the United States government earned a cool $100,000. Since Axio is a $1m-2m/month operation, the temptation to bring in that kind of cash would be irresistable for the Feds (*and me, and you).

So once again, I’m not saying Axio is out of business, I’m just telling you that they got busted. And I honestly wouldn’t be too worried about it, if you’re a customer of theirs; Axio has claimed that they have filled 220,000 orders, and that they have tens of thousands of customers, and I believe them. There simply isn’t the manpower within the FDA-OCI (which is very small), nor the DEA, to track down each and every customer who got a couple of bottles of Tren or whatever. It’s just not possible.

Busted? Yes.

Out of business? Probably not.

French police break up international doping ring

PARIS (Reuters) - French police have broken up a Marseille-based international doping ring thought to be the biggest in Europe, the government said on Saturday.

The group sold anabolic steroids over the Internet in Europe and the United States, counting nearly 10,000 customers in France alone, the French Sports Ministry said.

A judicial source said the group had nearly 200,000 clients in Europe for its steroids, which are used for developing muscle bulk.

Three people from the southern French city of Marseille have been put under judicial investigation for their part in the ring, which obtained the drugs from labs in Cyprus, China and Turkey, the source said.

Large sums of money were discovered at the homes of two of the men and investigators believe that the operation was making 1,000 euros (849 pounds) a day in Marseille alone.

An international police sweep was carried out against the ring on December 7 and investigators have also uncovered money laundering operations in Germany and the Netherlands.

French police dismantle steroid supply ring in France

MARSEILLE, France - Prosecutors say police have dismantled a French doping ring that illegally supplied anabolic steroids to bodybuilders and other clients throughout the country.

The Marseille prosecutor's office said Saturday three people in the southern French port city have been handed preliminary charges for their suspected role in running the ring's French operations. Officials say they are suspected of bringing in more than €1,000 ($1,300) a day.

The preliminary charges are for trafficking hazardous substances and doping products. Two of the three have been jailed.

The French operations are believed to be part of a larger international network. The French suspects are accused of selling steroids over the Internet in France, targeting bodybuilders.

Latest news reports on Axio Labs steroid bust:

More arrests are being made daily, and at this point, it appears that everyone’s cards are on the table: international law enforcement are aware of, and actively trying to capture, the owner of Axio Labs, Brian Wainstein. And he is being outed in the media as an international fugitive with multiple arrest warrants on him.

The article itself (screenshotted below) doesn’t exactly bridge the gap between Wainstein and the recent busts, but what I think the reporter is doing, is getting the piece out there, with the right names in it, without necessarily outing any inside information that’s been gathered (otherwise, the article is slightly nonsensical).

More Arrest Warrants in Steroid Bust - Police

A 54-year-old Israeli man is wanted on a European arrest warrant in connection with the biggest international anabolic steroid bust ever, said a police spokeswoman, who did not reveal his identity.

It is thought that the Israeli is not in Cyprus, she added.

Meanwhile, a 43-year-old Cypriot man who was arrested on suspicion of being the Cyprus supplier in Nicosia remains in jail pending a court appearance next month. Two other men who were also arrested on suspicion of working in the 43-year-old's illegal steroid manufacturing warehouse were released today by Nicosia District Court.

Over the weekend, French police arrested three people in Marseilles in connection with the same steroid distribution ring. The group were thought to be making up to 1000 euros per day just in Marseilles alone, and selling the drugs over the Internet.

On the 7th of December, police arrested five people in Cyprus on suspicion they were involved in the drug supply ring that includes operations in seven countries, including the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland and Austria.

Steroids have serious side effects including an increased risk of cancer, increased risk of heart and liver disease, jaundice, fluid retention, and high blood pressure. Bodybuilders and other athletes who cannot get them legally can easily find them on Internet sites such as the now-vanished website www.genxxlgear.com which received orders by email that were paid for by credit card and sent by mail.

Genxxlgear even released a press release quoting a contact called Brian Wainstein who was sentenced to four months prison for illegal steroid distribution in Canada in 2009. Depending on the source, Wainstein hails from South Africa, Ireland or Israel and is an international fugitive with a Canadian arrest warrant on his head.

Wanted drug suspect held in Cyprus

From: AFP December 28, 2010 12:00AM

A TURKISH man wanted in Australia on drug trafficking charges is believed to have been arrested in Cyprus.

Hakan Ayik could eventually be extradited to Australia or stand trial in the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognised only by Ankara.

Mr Ayik was reportedly arrested on December 20 at a hotel in the port of Kyrenia on the north coast of the eastern Mediterranean island.

Reports said police seized equipment used to make narcotics, steroids, a laptop and eight mobile phones in the suspect's hotel room.

A court in Kyrenia has remanded Mr Ayik, 32, in custody until a decision is taken on whether to extradite him or put him on trial on other charges.

Mr Ayik is wanted in Australia in connection with a major drug trafficking operation.

He fled the country in August and is the subject of an international arrest warrant. AFP

Latest Axio news - Brian Wainstein, former owner of Axio/Genxxl arrested in South Africa a few weeks ago and fighting extradition to USA:

'Steroid king’ in court

February 3 2013 at 10:59am
.
Johannesburg - An alleged high-profile supplier of steroids intends fighting a request by US authorities to extradite him in a Cape Town court, the Sunday Times reports.

Brian Wainstein, dubbed the “Steroid King”, had allegedly been supplying illegal steroids worth millions for over a decade.

He was granted bail by the Cape Town Magistrate's Court last week.

He has South African and Israeli citizenship.

Wainstein, who was on Interpol's wanted list, was arrested in Cape Town in mid-January after being in the country for a few months.

Wainstein's attorney, Brett Carnegie, told the newspaper that lawyers were going to fight the extradition request.

“We were well aware of the charges coming and we're prepared to fight them. We have briefed advocates to contest the extradition vigorously.”

An indictment by US prosecutors alleges Wainstein ran an anabolic steroids distribution operation, along with his wife and others, since 2004.

The Sunday Times reported that according to US court papers he had made a net profit of R76 million.

He also apparently faces charges in the US of smuggling human growth hormone and falsely branding drugs.

Carnegie told the newspaper Wainstein would co-operate with authorities, but that he rejected the allegations.

“We've seen the papers and we deny it.” - Sapa

Here's Josh Hodnick's article on it:

After a decade of selling anabolics, and spending most of that time on the run from American Law enforcement, Brian Wainstein (aka Baruch Ben Benjamin, aka Ben Banjamin, aka Trevor Thorton, aka John Moylan) has been arrested on steroid charges in South Africa. He is the mastermind behind GenXXL and Axio Labs, as well as a number of other (smaller) steroid firms. At the time of his arrest, he was also wanted by Interpol.
