You are a grass, I hope you get buggered to death in prison.
- Meant to quote the op, not you zeezeeba amoeba said:Sounds like you're the witness. He's going to hold your hand so you don't skip.
Um, informants get charged all the time only they get lesser sentences or charges because there bitches and run there mouth to much.Why would he post on this board if he was the one who snitched on the op? And if he was the confidential informant, he wouldn't even be charged. Oh sure, they'll arrest him to make it look good in front of the friend, but you don't charge the confidential informant.
Bababooey said:Uh, you all need to chill out and leave this kid alone. So what if he told the DEA that he bought some oz's off his friend? THE GUY HAD A WHOLE HOUSE FULL OF PLANTS! (50-200 lbs). OF COURSE THE GUY WAS SELLING. You don't grow 50-200 lbs (inflated numbers, surely, wet weight and rootballs, yet it still gives you an idea of the size of that operation) for personal smoke.
The prosecutors don't have to prove one sale to send his friend to prison. With that amount, he's going to be charged with trafficking. The law implies that you're selling it if you have over a certain amount.
I doubt the kid will ever testify about sales, especially piddly little 2-3 ounce sales. I doubt there will be any testimony about sales; the cultivation and possession/trafficking charges alone are enough to send his friend away for a number of years.

Wake up people! Put down the bowl and try to think logically. I know you all hate snitches, rightfully so, but don't let the paranoia make you lose your better judgment.
But as to the facts of the case, I don't see how they could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was involved in the grow op. He wasn't in the grow house when it was raided, presumably there's no evidence that he's ever been there (fingerprints, etc), he's not on the deed or the lease or any utility bills, and if the DEA was really doing a long investigation they would know he's not one of the principle players in the operation. Maybe the only charge that would stick is the quarter found in the house he was sleeping at, and even that's debatable if it was just out on the table.
My two cents. Good luck, kid.

By the way; (in addition to the bus, train, plane ----> woodchipper scenario) I think you also took you "friend's" remains out of the wood-chipper.....stuck them in a blender with your favorite protein powder....ingested it...digested it.....and then put it in a ziplock baggy that you launched into the sun.
That's how badly you burned them. There's not much more you can do to screw them except maybe p*ss on their graves while holding their grandmother at gunpoint after sodomizing them without KY Jelly and stealing their dentures.
What the &*#&@!@ is wrong with you?
zeeba amoeba said:I researched xxPotheadxx because something about his post made me curious. The question in my mind was, did his extensive (200 posts) involvement on ICMAG contribute towards himself and his friends getting busted?
He posted pics of his room (incl. a photo on the desk of a man, possibly himself or a relative) and gave out his hometown, which is not a big city by any means. The pics show detail of an apartment so basically all Leo has to do is look for apartments in a small town where the interior door trim/walls matches what's in the picture. Also let slide a bunch of details about his address, his home's position on the street, family, their occupations, etc. EXIF information on the pics he posted reveals what kind of camera he used, just a minor detail really compared to the others.
So my conclusion is yes, his posting of messages on ICMAG could have contributed to his getting busted. I don't recall his giving another reason for the bust. Any agent worth his salt could have found xxPotheadxx, if they felt it was worth their while. Probably a hundred plus plants qualifies.
On the other hand it's human nature to talk about such things. Not everyone is used to subterfuge.
This makes a good case for sock puppets...dropping old aliases and creating new ones. Also, for cultivating bullshit details about yourself. If you're white, pretend you're black. If you're hispanic, pretend you're Japanese. If you're poor, pretend you're rich. et cetera.
All in all I have to say xxPotheadxx's latest news is instructional and educational in a variety of ways. I hope he gives us an update on the outcome and any additional info he finds out.
