ANYONE who uses their credit cards or pays to a source's Pay Pal account is playing with fire. LE has EVERYONES' info that ordered through these guys. Using Pay Pal is not a smart idea whether you are Intl or domestic. The money trail is too easy to follow.

As far as a "break in" at their storage unit, most likely LE was tipped off and broke in to it themselves. Another no no.....you do not communicate via cell phones! Even if they are the "throw away" phones. Once LE busts you, they will also most likely find your "throw away" phone and find all of your communications. Plus, they had too many people in their business that knew each other and could of course identify each other. Loose lips sink ships!

It amazes me the amount of sources that have no clue on how to operate safely and securely.

Once you are busted, LE will investigate your financials and will be able to find any bank accounts or safety deposit boxes. Plenty of other ways to hide cash. If you are going to bury it in your yard, make sure you do not bury it in anything that contains metal. Le will go through your yard with metal detectors. They are quite thorough.

It does state in another news article that LE did have "confidential informant".

GREAT POSTS BLASTER!

Thanks for chiming in bro!
