Wow. I wonder now if I'll get what I ordered? GLP NOT fentanyl!Looks like at least one of our peptide vendors made the list.... Can't say I'm surprised, this is probably fairly common.
China-Based Chemical Manufacturing Companies and Employees Indicted for Alleged Fentanyl Manufacturing and Distribution
Today, the Justice Department announced the unsealing of indictments against eight China-based chemical companies and eight employees charging federal crimes, including attempted distribution of synthetic opioids and precursor chemicals used in the production of fentanyl, and money laundering...www.justice.gov

I should be receiving one soon!
This whole thing is disturbing because SRY knew they were facing this but didn't mention it (not surprised but still) and let customers continue to order. I doubt there was any risk of contamination however I wouldn't want my name/address on some list of buying from them because the government may not know what exactly you were buying and assuming it was precursors.
I know QSC said specifically that is not something they get involved in but I'm not sure about other companies. At least with this I guess you know SRY is a true manufacturer and not just a reseller pretending to have a lab.

I'm honestly just in shock anyone is surprised by this.
Like I knew what grey meant before I bought? Once I was out of high school every weed dealer I knew was also selling other stuff. Guy I dated for a few months had an entire wall of shelves of product. It's kind of par for the course when you're dealing with grey market and illegal things.
Did people not know what they were getting into? I don't even trust test results, I have no guarantee the vial I bought came from the same batch sent in for testing anyway.

Grey market =/= Black market.
We're buying stuff we're not supposed to have from people who aren't supposed to sell it, but no one is going to jail over this. Even the lawsuits Lilly has filed against peptide sellers are CIVIL disputes between two private businesses. However those shake out, no one is going to jail.
There is a reason we can get FDA approved labs who wouldn't be caught dead with actual drugs to do our testing.
I think it's silly to believe they don't have their hands in many baskets.
Again, they were selling something that had been legal only two weeks before. Legality is fluid based on which companies are paying which lawmakers.

Having your hands in many baskets is not the same
as selling illegal drugs or the precursors to making those drugs.
Are all the US vendors selling Tirz secretly selling cocaine too? @Bacchus, do we need to call the feds?
Bacchus is actually an undercover informant 🤫

I was under the impression he was just a sophisticated AI chatbot.
Unfettered capitalism. It wasn't illegal and it made them money. Big companies are kind of known for that. 🤷♀️
They just took a risk once it became illegal and got caught.
I just think the surprise and shock is overkill. By all means, demand better. They won't be getting my money either. But the market isn't exactly in a place to be able to guarantee the sellers/ sources aren't sketchy. They're selling to make money, not to cure obesity and PCOS.
The very thing that facilitates them being willing to sell us these as "research chemicals" is the same thing that makes them willing to sell a bunch of other things to other people. I'm not thrilled this is the case, but I'm also not the least bit surprised.

Is anyone else as concerned as I am that their fentanyl and dermorphin orders might be laced with semaglutide???
Too soon?
Okay, I'll go to bed.

Sigma Audley temporarily halting all sales
🤣The blanket suspicion for all manufacturers is simply inane...
The risk profile between the two is night and day... Assuming that one implicates the other demonstrates a significant lack of critical assessment skills 🤷♂️

I noticed you skipped right over my question about cocaine 🤔 interesting...
Is that a roundabout way of placing an order? 😇
Yeah no, even though cocaine probably could assist with weight loss - We stick to selling the stuff that is less likely to put us in the spotlight 🙂
I recently got bashed here for writing about tesofensine that is from the same family of drugs as cocaine, I call it "coke light".

I didn't know you could order by forum post. Much more convenient than email 🤣
Eh, I could understand if you got bashed by a forum that is directing users to sources and which medication to pick.
But it's been clearly stated numerous times that doing research is a requirement here, so I don't see the problem? 🙂
Also, there are tons of somewhat sketchy stuff that works quite well in this category. Even pure cocaine serves medical purposes.
Top of mind, ephedrine, dmma (not to be confused with mdma), clenbuterol, would all fit into the category of kinda sketchy, but has it's use - like your coke light
I find it moderately concerning how many people take what these vendor reps actually say at face value or truth. I think a lot of you need to look into what most of the manufacturing plants look like in these tier 2 and 3 Chinese cities, and what their standards actually are lol. I think of a lot of you actually researched that part, you may cut out ordering this completely.
Dude talks about 3 departments, 3 companies in 3 cities, etc. Their entire operation could just be a few teenagers popping open and resealing vials from someone else in their mom's dirty ass basement. There are no standards lol. We gave absolutely no idea what's going on behind the scenes. There is literally no way for anyone to verify anything else.

No way for anyone to verify, isn't exactly accurate - though not far from it.
For an end user/customer the statement is pretty much spot on though

Shenzhen Biolink has joined the list of companies winding down their operations
I think it's healthy skepticism. I keep a list of sellers I consider more risky than others based on posts I see here and other places and order based on that. I'm also only a month in, so I obviously have less information than someone who has been doing this a while.
I'm here, I clearly decided to take the risk too. But the POSSIBILITY that these products were made in a place that deals in other things was a part of that calculation. Again, there's smuggling involved. Is there enough money in peps to justify that risk alone, with the price race to the bottom? That was my concern- because that's a question I didn't have an answer to.
I know enough to know what I DON'T know.
This is my stance as well. At this point, its a moral issue.
I'm not going to argue that it's healthy to be skeptical.
My problem lies with faulty logic:
"Everyone" is in on the race to the bottom - Chasing low price as a main metric and discussing how cheap it can get. Which at some point (One i personally believe we passed already) will cause issues with manufacturing quality and consistency
"But the raws are so cheap"...
Yes, they are almost free, so why the price? Well, because of risk and operation costs. Who would want to risk their license by producing this stuff in a high quality lab when they are paid with scraps?
"Pay with bananas, and you will have monkeys doing the job"
At the same time, I highly doubt the amount of fent being produced in approved facilities is not strictly monitored - So i have a hard time believing that is the main source and not a dirty warehouse lab. I doubt the fent users are very picky about purity and sterility testing... So if that assumption (keyword being assumption) is correct, who knows what else those labs are used for.
I do believe that cross contamination is a very small risk here tbh, since it would be very bad for business. But could it happen by accident? - I guess.
And I honestly haven't really dived deep enough into the case to comment on the situation specifically. But it was mentioned that this was about raw materials being repurposed after arriving in the US. So I'm unsure if there is any real risk of cross contamination even if the business names are the same.
Concerning what it says about what kind of business you are dealing with - If that wasn't obvious from the get-go, now it is. So the question then would be, how do you separate between those who really doesn't care at all whether the product is safe or has good quality as long as you believe it - From those who actually deliver a quality product and don't take (too many?) shortcuts?
I would say that price is a good start, though not a guarantee. We pay significantly more than most users on here as a vendor - If that's strictly necessary to get a good product, I can't tell for sure. But it allows us to deal with a manufacturer we know more about.
In any case:
The point I was trying to make in the post you replied to, is that users that have been very comfortable with a bunch of different vendors - Needed something like this case for them to properly understand that these are not corner stores that skimp a bit on taxes and maybe sell some expired products, they are the source behind the drug dealer on the corner (figure of speech).
And now, instead of reconsidering how to evaluate and source - we figure all the vendors do the same stuff... But we will still order when the dust settles, so how helpful is that evaluation? ^^,

Lost my brother to a fentanyl overdose in 2018. We were complete opposites yet very close. ( 13 months apart )There were several in our town at the time. Folks thought they were getting something “different “ ( 2 local Walmart kids, employees, thought they’d just get a little coke after work were among several people that died at the time ) Im so, so sorry you lost family members to this shit.
Where are you getting these details?
