If we're going to have a serious discussion...and I don't believe we can have much of one on an open forum for obvious reasons...but lets not talk just to talk and feed into things that just aren't true.
Maybe we're talking in code here and I just didn't get the Key explaining what words really mean.
Just so we're all on the same page...there are no 'warehouses' to stock.
Now, I can't speak for countries other than the USA. These int sources of gear as well as sources of rec's, etc., these warehouses are the homes of whomever it is employed by these sources to fill orders.
Am I guessing? No.
Experience? Yes. In the past I've shipped product to customers of an international source. I was emailed the orders and then would fill and ship to their domestic customers.
At the time I wasn't set up to receive cryptocurrency and had no interest in taking anything other than US currency.
What I was doing was important enough to the source that he had associates in the US send me CIM for payment.
Now, most of the time guys are paid in product. Its easier and less expensive for the source for sure if its ugl gear. That wasn't the case with my situation and I wasn't shipping ugl gear.
However, its more of a risk for all involved paying the shipper in product. There's only so much product a guy can use. He's going to end up selling the product locally.
Someone he sells to gets busted chances are, given the opportunity, if asked where they got whatever it is the person is gonna give it up.
If the shipper himself is busted and the bust leads to having the home searched he's hit. Pandas already dealt with this situation. Had he been paid in currency of some kind the incident most likely would've been avoided.
Nothing I've said is putting anyone at risk. Its all stuff thats happened in the past and has been made public.
