Pennsylvania Attorney General agents arrest 10 in steroid ring in Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg - UPDATE
By Express-Times staff
November 24, 2009, 12:01PM
Pennsylvania Attorney General narcotics agents today arrested 10 people for their alleged involvement in the manufacturing, use and distribution of steroids in Northampton, Lehigh, Dauphin and Cumberland counties.
The investigation, dubbed “Operation Roid Runner,” began in the fall of 2007 and revealed that since 2004, the defendants allegedly brought more than $170,000 worth of steroids into Pennsylvania from China and Mexico.
Attorney General Thomas Corbett announced the arrests of the following people at a news conference this morning in Lemoyne, Pa.:
* Christopher Niemczyk, 31, 1013 Old Course Lane, Williams Township, is charged with four counts of delivery of steroids, one count of possession with intent to deliver steroids, one count of possession with intent to deliver ecstasy, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, one count of misbranding Ketamine and one count of criminal conspiracy.
* Marcus Lazaro, 29, 123 Somerset St., Freemansburg, is charged with three counts of delivery of steroids, two counts of possession with intent to deliver steroids, two counts of criminal conspiracy, two counts of dealing in the proceeds of an unlawful activity, one count of manufacturing steroids and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
* John Sassaman, 51, 1803 Stratford Court, Salisbury Township, is charged with four counts of delivery of steroids and one count of criminal conspiracy.
* Chad Gillespie, 33, 740 Fourth St., Catasauqua, is charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy, one count of possession with intent to deliver steroids, one count of manufacturing steroids and one count of dealing in proceeds of an unlawful activity.
* George Koufalis, 34, 2158 Woodridge Drive, Lower Macungie Township, is charged with two counts of delivery of steroids, one count of possession with intent to deliver steroids, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of criminal conspiracy.
* Robert Greynolds, 28, of Middletown, Pa., is charged with nine counts of delivery of steroids, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, one count of carrying a firearm without a license, one count of criminal conspiracy and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.
* Joel France, 42, of Harrisburg, is charged with three counts of delivery of steroids, one count of criminal conspiracy and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.
* Christopher Levan, 36, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., is charged with one count of delivery of steroids and one count of criminal conspiracy.
* Stacy Garonzik, 38, of Shiremanstown, Pa., is charged with one count of delivery of steroids, one count of possession with intent to deliver steroids, one count of dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity and one count of criminal conspiracy.
* Eric Garonzik, 39, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., is charged with one count of delivery of steroids, one count of possession with intent to deliver steroids, one count of dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity and one count of criminal conspiracy.
“Like any illegal drug, steroids come with negative and dangerous physical effects,” Corbett says in a news release. “We need to do everything we can to make sure that the public, especially young men, are aware of the dangers of using steroids, and we need to take those who distribute this poison off our streets.”
Corbett said the Garonziks injected clients with steroids in the office of their gym, Kinetics, which is now closed. Corbett said many of the steroid deliveries in the Harrisburg area took place near Gold’s Gym in Swatara Township.
He said the Garonziks, Lazaro and Gillespie obtained steroids by placing Internet orders to people in China and Mexico and paying via wire transfer. A grand jury investigation determined $170,000 was sent overseas between January 2004 and this year. The senders allegedly used fictitious names and structured the wire payments so they would always be less than $1,000.
Lazaro researched how to turn powder steroids into those that could be injected, and he and Gillespie started manufacturing the drugs at Lazaro’s home and branded them “Pro Lab,” Corbett says. Sassaman and Koufalis, both bodybuilders, allegedly obtained “Pro Lab” steroids from Lazaro and Gillespie and sold them to others to pay for the expense of bodybuilding competitions.
When officials searched Lazaro’s home, they allegedly seized more than nine pounds of bulk steroids, numerous syringes, a 9mm firearm and various items, such as filters, oils and alcohols used to manufacture steroids. During the course of the entire investigation, agents seized more than 700 bottles of steroids, 1,337 pills containing steroids, nine pounds of bulk steroids, $28,000 and four other firearms. The investigation is ongoing.

Some interesting names on the list that we know...
Valley residents accused of making, buying and selling steroids
Wednesday, November 25, 2009

The Express-Times
George Koufalis injected himself with $8,000 to $20,000 worth of steroids a year to stay in top condition for bodybuilding competitions, authorities said.
Koufalis' habit led him to start selling the drugs as well, providing a link for investigators between a steroid ring in Dauphin and Cumberland counties, and one here in the Lehigh Valley, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office.
Five Valley residents, including Koufalis, were accused last week of buying, repackaging and distributing at least $132,000 worth of performance-enhancing drugs, authorities said Tuesday.
Police allege the breakup of a ring near Harrisburg led them to Koufalis, who in turn led them to Marcus Lazaro, Chad Gillespie and John Sassaman. Lazaro then led police to Christopher Niemczyk, authorities said.
Prosecutors labeled the investigation "Operation Roid Runner." Attorney General Tom Corbett announced the charges at a news conference in Lemoyne, Pa.
All of the men told police and a grand jury they used the drugs and turned to selling them to fuel both their use and pay for various bodybuilding competitions.
Each of the men was charged with several offenses involving the sale and possession of steroids, criminal conspiracy and related crimes.
They were each released on $25,000 unsecured bail.
Lazaro and Gillespie went as far as purchasing bulk quantities of steroid powder from China, then mixing the powder with oils and alcohol to form liquids that users injected into their muscles, state prosecutors said. They allegedly branded the resulting product "Pro Lab."
The attorney general's office estimates the Valley ring operated from 2004 to 2009.

The thing to note here is that the authorities spent 2 years to put a stop to a $100,000/year drug enterprise. Wooooo. ::)

Sacramento isn't god's country by any stretch of the imagination, but I *am* just an hour's drive from quality skiing in Tahoe. :D
The thing is, I don't really care about those guys' federal income tax. You and I pay more than enough for all those clowns and what they don't pay in income tax, they *do* pay in sales taxes, which benefit their local communities. These are small-time hoods that we're talking about. If they were each smart enough to be making $250,000/year or more, then they'd likely be smart enough to be more insulated from country cops in search of a couple of headlines.

I think they mean 170,000$ worth of powders to make steroids, the money they made from the end product was much more I would bet. But I have to say this is a very good job on law enforcements part.

Their max profits were nowhere near the amount of money spent on the investigation. Seriously, the numbers don't even begin to add up.
