Lei Jin, Genescience Pharmaceutical Arrested!

[HARDCORE]

PROVIDENCE -- The kingpin of an international steroid distribution company based in China has been indicted here on federal charges of international smuggling of HGH, human growth hormone.


The federal authorities announced today that Lei Jin, chief executive officer and founder of Genescience Pharmaceutical Company and three other men have been charged in the ring that used the Internet and email to ship the muscle enhancement drugs worldwide.


The indictment is part of a nationwide investigation known as Operation Raw Deal that has focused on the smuggling of HGH, anabolic steroids and the illegal distribution of the pharmaceuticals. The probe also has targeted home laboratories where steroids are converted from powder into in to usable forms.


Jin has not been arrested and the authorities believe that he may be living in Shanghai, China. Also charged in the indictment are Jeffrey Rock, of Camarillo, Calif.; Ander Jaa, of Shanghai, China; and David Garcia, who is believed to be in Solvenia.


Federal prosecutors have also filed a separate federal criminal complaint against Thomas Thomsen, of Tampa, Fla., on charges that he allegedly twice sold steroid conversion kits to an unnamed customer in Rhode Island. Investigators said that Rock and Thomsen have been arrested.


Federal indictments and arrests also were announced today and in recent days in San Diego, Pennsylvania, New York and elsewhere.


Robert Clark Corrente, the U.S. Attorney for Rhode Island, said that the authorities have executed 143 search warrants in 27 states and they have arrested 124 distributors of the illegal drugs. He also said that federal agents have shutdown 56 steroid labs and seized $6.5 million.


Corrente said that Rhode Island was responsible for about $4 million and about 100,000 doses of steroids or HGH were seized here, along with ``10 or 11 weapons.’’


So far, no Rhode Islanders have been indicted or arrested in the probe that was launched by the federal Food and Drug Administration two years ago.


Asked whether any Rhode Island residents may face charges, Corrente said: ``It’s possible.’’

"...where steroids are converted from powder into in to usable forms. "

??
They can DO that?

[HARDCORE]

Yes, powder is imported to UG Labs in USA, then mixed into liquid or pill.

[p.s.]

And this "operation" is very wide spread IE Canada, Mexico, some European countries and China as well, and really who gives a rats ass about steroids etc how about spending our hard earned tax dollars on something worthwhile like health, education, and busting Meth labs and crack houses?!? I can see busting guys who are selling rec drugs along with AAS, but really with all the dangers of alcohol and tobacco never mind over the counter drugs and 'scripts one would think that something as benign as AAS would/should be left well enough alone.

This whole "bust" just smells of big business wanting to get rid of the competition ie pharmacutical companies not making any money on GH etc as the Chinese versions are cheaper and far more plentiful for those that need it (muscle wasting diseases, as well as athletes).

I know most of you guys here are totally out of the loop with regards to AAS etc but believe me when I say that ALL AAS are far safer than tylenol or other over the counter drugs never mind some of the 'script drugs that have come along over the years (example Fen Phen, and some of the NSAIDs). This is really no different than the BS they fed the public regarding ECA.

Most average people are mushrooms IE kept in the dark and fed BS (media and government are in bed kids so WAKE THE FUK UP!)

OH I COULD RANT FOREVER ON THIS BS WE'RE BEING FED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
