Mate for a guy who thinks he is as connected as they come, you are Stevie Wonder in front of an eye chart here gent. Toopowerful4U is straight on the money. You are talking about sellers/buyers up and down the tree. HE DIDN'T GO UP AND DOWN THE TREE! He went sideways and filled in all he knew about others around the states. As a former lawyer you should be downright shaded crimson red with 'barrasment with your statements. Who do you think filled in the blanks for the government in all the huge arrests in the fall and the ones that are still to come? A bloody psychic hotline? Hang your noggin in shame at your naivety. Kudo's to you Toopowerful for stating the obvious unlike some of these lackies who get a radio show spot out of it and think the guys a swell pal/angel now. Ludicrous.
So you're saying the Chinese manufacturing facility gave Dave up? C'mon EZ, a BUYER gave up Dave, the SELLER. Did the Feds get all of David's emails to his buyers/suppliers? Of course they did. Much like they sat down Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson, Melvin Anthony and a dozen others in Des Moines, Iowa after subpoenaing every bodybuilder who showed up at the 2004 Arnold Classic and made them connect the dots on their emails and reveal their sources, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the identities and transactions in an email from Cuts260 to Cuts280 saying "Paypal me $600 for the two bottles" when AOL is supplying the name/IP/address behind the screennames or after they've seized David's computer with his Excel spreadsheets of customers/products/phone numbers.
The naivete is all yours if you think the Feds are asking dealers for their "supply lists" and "asking people to give up their customers". This ain't a crack dealer standing on the corner down the block from your house. It's an operation that requires names, addresses, phone numbers, email addys, and product lists to be maintained and used over and over again. You watch too much TV.
I supposed you think Palumbo didn't have lists of customers and addresses for the fake gh he was peddling and the feds never got their hands on his computer too. Wake up brother.
