This is Handel on the Law. Now, I've done tons of stories about drug dealers and drugs being sold.

And unfortunately, we are in a huge problem in this country with the epidemic.

The opioid epidemic, which has calmed down because of the settlements and the companies like Pardue and other companies that were just selling this stuff and just sort of being distributing like candy.

Well, the big issue now is fentanyl and it is fentanyl that is produced usually in Mexico or China and then brought in the United States.

I mean, by the boatload, although it's kind of hard to do on a truck.

And it is killing

people. It's killing people big time. And it's really scary because what people do is they buy

this stuff on the internet and will sell you an opioid, we'll sell you whatever drug. And it's

laced with fentanyl, which kills people. I mean, that's, it's astounding of the numbers. So there are drug dealers and, as I said, there are drug dealers.

All right, usually on the corner or they're in the distribution network. Man, let me tell you about one that when you say drug dealers, you're not kidding.

The feds have arrested this 23-year-old Taiwanese national

and charged him with running an online market that sold $100 million worth of narcotics,

including fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, LSD, ketamine, like, that's across the

board. He did this for almost four years. Ruiz Singh Lin, owned, operated incognito market,

an online marketplace on the dark web.

And he, well, it looks certainly like a legitimate business.

He ran it like a big time business, buyer and user registration, branding, advertising, customer service.

And what it did is allow buyers to search through thousands of listings for the narcotics of their choice.

Opened in October of 2020, closed last March, when they start to, when the site started to extort buyers and sellers,

and asking anything from $100,000 for not revealing text messages, transaction records.

So not only was the site selling these illegal drugs, of course, but then blackmailing people and saying,

if you don't pay us X dollars, we're going to tell the world.
