Title: Police Bust 'Steroid Guru' In Canton, Ma
Post by: Newsman on February 21, 2006, 01:14:14 PM
(CBS4) CANTON A Canton man, known as the 'Steroid Guru', was arraigned Tuesday on drug and weapons charges.
Federal and local investigators arrested 37-year-old Bruce Kneller, of 735 Randolph Street, and seized more than 100,000 suspected steroid pills, ten guns and other materials.
Kneller pleaded not guilty in Stoughton District Court Tuesday morning. He was charged with possession with intent to distribute steroids, ten counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and violating a Drug Free School Zone.
Kneller is expected to make bail.
Prosecutors say Kneller's writings on steroids and other performance-enhancing supplements are widely available online.

Keep a personal stash, experiment with them, abuse them, whatever.  But for god's sake don't ever sell them... You'll get caught sooner or later, that's pretty much guaranteed.

I don't get it... what's the problem? They were in his home, he wasn't carrying them on the street. As long as they were purchased legally and weren't stolen or something, what crime has he committed? Last I knew, we had the right to own firearms in this country (unless he's a convicted felon or something).

According to the news story he was behind the UG steroid lab Red Star of China, formerly GAC. It was always rumored it was Knellers lab all the way back from his days at T-mag. Chinese steroids bottled in the states.

Recently Kneller was working with ALRI and Gaspari (OTC supp companies).

All these companies selling powders/supps OTC as "research" chemicals should know by now that using the "research" disclaimer doesn't do crap for protecting them from liability. There's been about 2-3 companies over the last 6 months that have been raided/searched and are still dealing with the fallout even though their websites said everything they sell is for "research" purposes.

More than anything I'm surprised the cops got the drop on BK. As its been said, he's usually so paranoid you'd think he'd take more precautions...

It's not an accusation.

It's an observation that things are just a *tad* bit too coincidental.

BK does his thing for years and everything is fine. 

Sixty days after Matt Cline- an admitted bigtime gear dealer- admits the feds spent all weekend in his house, BK is busted in the same town.

Matt Cline reads this board. I'm sure if he wasn't involved he will let us know.

if his guns were not registered THAT is a crime with a manditory minimum 1 year term.  that's been the law for 15 years.  this is not new.

You think it took them two years to build a case? It's more likely that a recent tip is what turned them on to him. It's very interesting that one dealer in Canton spent the weekend with authorities two months ago and today another dealer was busted in the same town.

Agreed.  And I'm not accusing anyone of anything.  I just think the getbig public- many of whom probably buy their gear from that region - shuld consider the possibility there is a connection here.

Matt Cline, I know you're reading this.  you're on here a lot.  Register and respond.  If you didn't work with authorities to contribute to BK's fall, tell us.

Why would he call you?

At the time I was running www.freecraigtitus.com and he was very much involved in the case.  Matt's side of things was the the feds intruded on his house and set up shop for a weekend.  Then, before he had to meet Titus (a tough decision he didn't want to have to make) the feds caught them. 

matt called many times to assure me he had no part in craig getting caught, but admitted he felt he had to talk to feds, as he'd been in hot water before.

I never said if he was a rat or if he was a standup guy.

I posted his side- theat he was being pressured and didn't have to make a choice, since they caught Titus first.

I posted the side that others emailed me- that Matt Cline had ripped them off and had been a confidential informant in the past.  That he led Titus into a trap.

I let the viewer decide who they believed.  Part of FreeCraigTitus.com was me remaining neutral.

Yes, it's a state law, in Mass. you need a FID(firearms id) card to keep firearms. Also, I remember from another board, Kneller's taste ran to the tactical side, so he may have some trouble in that regard.

Until not that long ago Bruce was living in Indianapolis, Indiana and working at the University in Urology Research (no joke). I think he moved back to Mass. about a year ago, recently also got married and I believe has a pregnant wife. I assume that Bruce will get Rick Collins as outside counsel and get local counsel to fight the charges.
