ozpharma bust

[JDM]

JOHN Triulcio showed all the motivation and panache to be a successful drug kingpin when he launched his “staggering” anabolic steroids empire.

He began importing kilos of raw chemicals and testosterone, bought himself empty capsules and a filling machine before his homemade steroids hit the Adelaide black market.

His drugs were smuggled into Australia after being hidden inside television cables and hollowed out speakers.

His drive to maintain his cash flow never waned despite his backyard operation being exposed and being subject to strict home detention bail.

Today, his multi-million empire is at an end, after Triulcio, 39, was jailed for masterminding “one of the most significant steroid importation” operations the District Court has encountered.

Australian Border Force officers seized more than 54kg of performance enhancing drugs, worth at least $4.5 million on the streets, in what a judge described as a “staggering” haul.

Triulcio, of West Lakes, in Adelaide’s west, was jailed for six-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to 17 federal drug importing charges.

Months before his December 2014 arrest, Triulcio significantly expanded his illegal operations, purchasing chemicals, equipment and directed an associate to prepare for multiple Chinese shipments.

Federal agents and SA Police detectives raided his home-based “steroid manufacturing laboratory”, seizing 3000 phials of steroids, a kilogram of testosterone and 10 litres of liquid steroids.

While on bail for his home racket, authorities later discovered his extensive importing ring.

Armed with a new phone, he continued managing his empire, advising his business partners that part-payment for a 35kg steroid shipment was due to help restart his lab.

Despite being released on home detention bail, he was arrested on Christmas Eve 2014 for imported 23 consignments of steroids.

The following year, Triulcio imported another 43 shipments of steroids and human growth hormones despite being on a heavily restrictive bail under state law.

His awkward attempts to appear macho in the onlineworld of steroid sales fell flat after his admission to being a “gear supplier” made him the butt of jokes in the underworld.

Operating under the user names “OzPharma” and “Alpha Anabolics”, he received positive reviews for his drugs but was told he sounded “like Joey 6 pack down the street brewing in his kitchen”.

But it was his arrest in August that year for several incidents of domestic violence that custom officers discovered evidence of the “commercially motivated” steroid racket.

During sentencing last month, Judge Paul Muscat revealed how the commercial enterprise then unravelled.


“The profits to have been made by you from the distribution of steroids is staggering and it was clearly the driving factor behind you continuing to offend after your arrest in 2014,” Judge Muscat said.

“Your offending over a 10-month period involved one of the most significant steroid importations that has come before the courts. Before you realised it, you were getting deeper and deeper into your business and ... you saw it is a financially lucrative business.

“It seems to that you were seduced by the ease at which you were able to manufacture and sell your steroids.”

Triulcio will be eligible for parole in August next year.

That is a harsh sentence by Australian standards, but the reason is the courts shit all over you when you get caught doing something on bail. I feel bad for anyone put through the cops, who like psychopaths actually enjoy watching people suffer; the courts, and their arrogant perception of self-importance; and prisons that exist not as punishment, but for punishment.

Karl Marx in Theories of Surplus Value 1860 wrote: The criminal produces not only crimes but also criminal law, and with this also the professor who gives lectures on criminal law and in addition to this the inevitable compendium in which this same professor throws his lectures on the general market as "commodities". This brings with it augmentation of national wealth, quite apart from the personal enjoyment which ... the manuscript of the compendium brings to its originator itself.

Marx would have bitterly condemned the so-called war on drugs. Burglass and Shaffer ridiculed it in 1984: Certain individuals use certain substances in certain ways, thought at certain times to be unacceptable by certain other individuals for reasons both certain and uncertain.

Thanks mate, compliments are welcome haha. Its true that I read a lot, but if that was all I did it would indeed be "useless facts" or whatever, that some people say. The brain needs to be exercised in the same way we train our bodies. The problem is that it has been made much harder to do, quite deliberately, so much so that through no real fault of their own, the public is completely in the dark. I could write a few sentences re history that explains how and why this has happened and give sources but I will leave it.

Intelligence is not particularly relevant. I would be right on average or at best a tiny bit over. Once you understand the historical factors, you still need to develop you ability to recognise good information, and recognise the brains built in flaws in reasoning and processing information. Even when you can do that, you are still left fighting to do it all the time. It has not left me depressed, but I am not hopeful for our kids future.

I know you did not point the finger, or suggest any accusation was true so I am not saying you said anything wrong.

And while I always leave room for the possibility that I am wrong, at this point all such talk re that is nonsense - he was a stand up guy. If others did some trickery well maybe. There is so much bullshit talk, and while I get that we all need to be vigilant re potential financial or physical harm, we should be very sceptical of any claims.

That same view also is common in the USA too as courts also take a dim view of persons committing a crime while on bail for another crime. LE here in USA also take a strong stand on steroids too, and it seems to be rather bad thing as drugs like heroin and cocaine are inherently far more dangerous than gear.

The claim was made about 3 years ago , I remember his personal details including the name of a tiling business being posted up .
the part that now after reading all these reports is “ the scam “he was running involved pretending he had cancer and a whole bunch of other sorry stories .
but this sounds unlikely now that we see these charges .
perhps someone was using his name at th time of his initial bust ?
maybe police were using his accounts ?

the same forum that posted these accusations is now closed as well by the way .

all this makes me wonder ........ WHAT TH FUCK IS GOING ON?

That happens to be easy to answer especially now that you have written it up like that. But I am not going to post the exact answer. Instead I will give you another way of looking at this. A forum is owned and run by someone, therefore it is safe to conclude that the forum did it with the owners consent. The next step is to ask yourself what possible motives might there be for a person to put up that information. Since there are possible motives, the next step is to ask what reason you have to believe what the forum said in the first place. Is there any evidence? None that is credible.

Every bit of information you come across, you must be sceptical about and you have to develop your reasoning and analytical skills. You have to do this yourself because it is very difficult to find any discussion of it anywhere. And if you do find it, you won't know if they are telling the truth. This is all done deliberately. National leaders have for over a century been manipulating the public. It goes back to the British during World War One and their attempts to get the United States to enter the war on the side of the allies. The US population were overwhelmingly (up to 90%) against going to war. President Wilson won the 1916 election on November 7th 1916 on an anti-war platform. But the US entered the war on April 7th 1917 with strong support from the population. How is that possible?

I am not gonna say it. I will give you a hint. The media. Ever since then that method has been used by democratic countries to control what the population thinks. After all if I can convince you to risk your life for no gain whatsoever, then there is virtually nothing you can't be tricked into believing and then doing. One more hint. If you read Mein Kampf Hitler mentions it in there.

The point of all this is that national leaders have wanted to influence what we believe for many reasons. Another way they do it is through the education system. It is deliberately dumbed down. Again I am not going to spell it out. But I will give you a source. In 1975 the US Government released a report called The Crisis of Democracy by the Trilateral Commission. If you read right through it the answer is in there. The US Government tried to recall and pulp the report when it first got published. They failed, but they then promoted the authors to senior positions in the US Administration.

So putting up information about Ozpharma and getting people to believe it is very very straightforward.

I will leave you with something Goring said in an interview at Nuremberg on 18th April 1946


Goring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

Yes no doubt. Generally the US has prison sentences for minor offenses that would not attract a custodial sentence at all here. Sentences in America are longer and parole is stricter. There are reasons for those that don't know you can do some research. The US has less than 5% of the worlds population and 25% of the worlds prisoners.

Australia has an incredible amount of rules and regulations that apply to individual conduct. We have all talked about our ridiculous customs. They aren't called that anymore. It is Border Force and they are a paramilitary unit.

Another difference, the United States persists with the death sentence. The last man given the death sentence here was Ronald Ryan, who was hanged in 1967. There were question marks surrounding his guilt as well.

You can pm me if you like and I can send some sources. But I can't really talk this through though with you. You are going to have to do a lot of reading. Discussion should have been done at school, and it isn't done for many reasons including the governments desire to promote people that CONFORM and OBEY. But for the sake of brevity, what has happened is that we are increasingly told or taught what to think rather than how to think. There is a contradiction in the physical sciences as they are different because corporations require technology and as a result staff that can think about how and why.

There is an increasing focus on vocational education. That is all well and good, but it doesn't put you in a position to understand how the world works. Even people trained in finance/accounting/law etc are not undergoing intellectual pursuits. They just learn a system of rules, procedures etc. It's fine to be a good butcher or baker or whatever, and it doesn't necessarily mean that those people in any of those occupations I just listed aren't intellectual or don't understand the world, but that is not what they are trained for.

Ever notice a lot of people at school did not want to do any study? They complain about stupid assignments etc and say they aren't going to do it. They get called drop outs etc and end up in trouble Simplified, they are rebelling against the content and the systems attempt to get them to conform and obey. Actually, it isn't very different at university. The people that succeed most are those that learn to regurgitate. I just did it to get to the next step. I could tell the other students were blinded by the state-corporate illusion and deception but they could eloquently reproduce what was needed. They all go on to get good jobs in the public service or for corporations. As for me I could never get a job except self-employment or perhaps a narrow selections of positions where it doesn't matter that I have my own ideas. I can't conform and I can't obey. Furthermore, my ideas are not congruent with the masters of mankind.

this is how I’ve felt all my life .
i was certain I’d end up in a trade , yet why was I made to look stupid because I didn’t believe in what they taught me .
i was classed as argumentative as disruptive to the classroom.
but I’m very aware of the system we live in . The geo politics , the media , even th so called free information on the internet ,( it feeds you information based on your search history ,giving you what you think is truth but in fact it’s been twisted , worse type of lie ) I’m really interested in the history of global economics and it’s control .
i reckon you’d enjoy some reading on that subject .

By the way have you porpoisly changed th subject ?
maybe you haven’t but in case you have I’ll just wink at ya.

Lol no not on purpose. Economics is central. Eg) The shift from Keynsianism to Neoliberalism.

From Keynes p 383 of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936) : "The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed, the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slave of some defunct economist."
