Not even a peep about losing Global Entry, like so many (who don’t even travel internationally more than once a decade) are worried about.

That wouldn't make it into a news article. They will absolutely revoke your global entry if your name gets flagged in something like this.
And I travel internationally 4-5 times a year. Global entry is a life saver worth protecting.

If you’re convicted, yes.
An intercept is enough for GE to be revoked, unfortunately.

It isn’t.
Tell that to the thousands of people who have gotten their GE status revoked for simply having customs seize their package and have no related trial, much less conviction, to show for it.
Just google "Global Entry Revoked Customs Seized Package," not a single one of them talk about going to court and getting convicted.
I got caught walking across the border from Mexico with what would have been legal amounts of prescription drugs had i declared them (I didn’t) over 30 years ago. I paid a fine for not declaring and walked away that day thinking it was done. 20 years later I discover I cannot get global entry because of it. I travel internationally a lot, it’s a pain in the ass.
The global entry thing is a real risk and if it is valuable to you, you ought to take it seriously. If it isn’t valuable to you then meh, keep on trucking, unless something changes nobody is going to jail for importing personal quantities of bootleg ozempic.
My favorite part of this is the 17 dollars in singles spread out like an 8 year old counting up birthday money from their aunties and uncles.this is a hilarious photo. it reminds me of this drug bust that got roasted all over social media

It could have been a manufacturer's shipment to their US address for additional distribution to end-users. I think this is the safest way to order from China, it is often a condition of their reship policy and reduces the risk to purchasers because the initial shipment often does not include your personally identifiable information.
The article says they were going to Ohio homes. Also seems like this would be a pretty tiny manufacturer warehouse shipment, but of course that's just speculation.
guessing it was some sort of small group purchase - a facebook group or some neighbors pooling together
I worked in Law Enforcement for over 20 years. I could not imagine celebrating over the seizure of weight loss drugs, unless it was something amphetamine based in large quantities. This is such a joke to me. I don’t know if I’m frustrated or entertained?
I know…. My same thoughts.“$45,000”
Just realized that they took the time to layout all of those one dollar bills.this is a hilarious photo. it reminds me of this drug bust that got roasted all over social media
