I know a guy who was deep in the online steroids world like 10 years ago. He would find clients on body building forums. There was eventually a bust and he didn’t get nabbed although many other associates of his did. He couldn’t believe at the time that a bust could have happened given how minor that was compared to narcotics.
The most interesting part of the story was that during the time he was under investigation he was completely overcome with fear and worry, so bad he was vomiting blood. Once he got through it without any charges he completely got out of drug dealing and became a software engineer.
I don’t think people who dabble in crime truly understand how nerve wracking it is until something really bad happens. Effective criminals are sociopaths who don’t experience fear the same way as most people. It’s so much better to work in legal industries.
