Operating across 17 darknet markets over seven years, this network distributed cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, and ketamine to customers across the U.S. using the United States Postal Service and cryptocurrency. What looked like a decentralized web of vendors was actually a centralized, tightly controlled operation that made fatal operational security mistakes.
We walk through the full timeline from 2018 to 2025 covering the logistics, the use of the infamous Honda Civic, the repeated use of sender names, distinctive stamps, and the exact OPSEC failures that allowed federal agents to map and dismantle the whole operation. If you're serious about understanding how darknet markets really work and how vendors actually get caught this is the episode you don't want to miss.
