Police arrested three men accused of selling thousands of pills of meth-laced “Adderall” on various darknet marketplaces and mailing them through the United States Postal Service through a fictitious business called “Professional Paper Filing Inc.” that listed a real return address of an uninvolved business. That business then told police that it was repeatedly getting packages of pills in the mail as "return to sender."

The men face a maximum possible penalty of life imprisonment.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

How to not get caught...

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

That's why you use a fake return address that doesn't exist. Allowing your product to get into real people's hands was just asking for trouble.

Wrong, fake addresses get picked up and flagged quickly. Valid addresses are required to keep the operation moving. One dark net dealer used the addresses of sex offenders as the addresses are publicly listed, and he didn't care if they got caught with drugs.

Dexter thinking right here.

I'm not defending sex offenders but some of the things that get you lumped into that group are definitely not equal to others. Getting caught pissing in a bush, for instance, not exactly what we think of.

Luckily you can look up the details of most of the cases. Usually it's pretty to figure out which are simple junk out to pee and jamming your unwanted p in the v. Exposing the p but not to pee can be a little more difficult to determine but most of those guys (because it's normally guys) don't go any further than that (100% not trying to justify the behavior).

Have you guys considered that framing dudes who, by definition, have served their time is wrong regardless?
