[AMA] I am AlpraKing, former Darknet Xanax Kingpin & responsible for the xanax epidemy in America.

Why do you flex so much?

Why not?

How many wife's do you have and with the most lavish thing you bought them?

I bought my girlfriend flowers, once.

Did/do you feel any responsibility towards the users of your product?

Users are going to use regardless, at least with me they're getting a legit, high quality product.

At least your customers were never getting fentanyl.

Exactly.

You stole this line from Gayle on Breaking Bad.

Yes!

How do you find people that you trust enough to bring in as employees?

I don't, I have a small core network of people who have a lot of human ressources at their disposal. I trust their judgement on who to hire. I do not ever meet them.

Have you ever personally smelled Tranq's bars?

No, but have received very detailed reports.

How did you start?

I pressed steroids and sold them locally, but I soon realised Xanax was much easier to manufacture, appealed to a much broader audience via the darknet, and was not much worse in term of risk, being only a schedule 4 drug in Canada.

My business really kicked off with I discovered the dark net.

Hand press or was it a rotary as well?

It was on a hand press back then.

Which one?

EDIT: Although it's slow AF, were you still able to achieve pretty good quality?

Yes, i was doing fine

How long did it take to go from filling caps to getting a press?

A few months, an automatic press is like 2,000 USD investment, its fairly easy to get one. As soon as the volume was high enough I bought a press.

1. How was your opsec in the very beginning? It's a learning process, and you must have made mistakes.

2. If you made mistakes, are you afraid of it coming to light as LE becomes more competent and the technology they use to uncover you becomes better?

3. Where do you tumble your coins? Helix?

4. Have you paid taxes on what you've laundered or do you keep it hidden away?

1. bad, very

2. Thats why I'm retired. Too many doubts for the future.

3. Cant answer

4. By definition, if it is laundered, taxes are paid.

Why are you proud of peddling misery? So what if people "are gonna do it anyway"? People are also gonna kill each other and molest kids anyway. Doesn't mean it's right to enable it.

Im not proud of peddling misery, I'm proud of running a business that people actually paid me to get a quality product they were looking for.

How much money have you laundered so far?

Can't answer that accurately unfortunately. but north of 6 figues.

Where you ever tempted to ingest the product you produced? Or are drugs not your thing?

I use it to ease sleep sometime

one of your favorite memory from the whole adventure?

Back in 2014 when we were working a single punch tablet press. I had left my two buddies to work on the machine while i was gathering groceries. When I came back home several hours later, they were sleeping on the couch with the machine still pressing pills, obviously they passed out from the machine's emanations. I was unable to wake one of them to get back to work. It was funny as hell!

Emanations? Xanax doesn't get absorbed through the skin, does it?

you can breath the powdered mix

Those two buddies? Dr Xanax.

Baseless speculation but the image is funny in my mind

Nah it was before the DrXanax era.

DrXanax kids are the ones laughing "dolla dolla dolla" in my youtube video.

What's something you regret?

Hiring some people that ended up being way more trouble than contribution to the business.

Thanks for replying! Would it be okay if you gave an instance?

Shared information with people who eventually used it against me after becoming competitors of mine.

What kind of music and tv shows do you like?

Police shows obviously :P

was there a time you came real close to getting busted? or a time you were saved by a little luck?

I don't think I was, raids always occured far from me.

Why do you think you're inclined to lead a criminal life? Do you think you're just a thrill-seeker or was there a series of events leading up to your big show that put your life on that road?

events just lead me on that road.

Did you have a wonderful time?

If I was given the choice, I would probably do it again. It was fun times. Life seems so boring now, even for a multimillionaire.

Did you throw parties with cake and pop?

No, I flexed a lot in the online world (as I am right now), but in the real world I avoided attracting any attention to me.

Did u play Cookie Clicker?

Not sure I understand this one pal. What is cookie clicker?

Why do People from Quebec suck at driving?

Probably xanax

What is the exact type of rotary press you used up until 2016? Did you ever change?

Those pictures are ZP10 models. Its light and reliable.

How much of your money is in bitcoin vs cash/other assets? Not talking exacts figures obviously but ballpark ratio?

A ltitle bit than half is still in bitcoin. I expect it to take value over the next years.

This isn't so much of a question as much as a request, could you list some of the most amusing conspiracies/stories that users have said about you? I've heard a few but I think the thread would find it funny.

I'm not really a canadian and I operate remotely from Belize or a similar country.

Or I'm a FED.

Thats my favorite one.

What's with darknet people and Belize?It's not like it's a non-extradition country.

its an inside joke. When they busted Ross, they found a "dead man switch" plan which was kinda "burn house and move to Belize" and it has since become meme-level

How did you first discover the darknet? I imagine that you were once just a user and had just started vending? Did you ever think that you would become this big?

I complained about distribution limitations to a friend and he introduced me to silkroad back in 2014.

Why Xans ?

Low dosage, low volume of importation, high margins, high popularity, and low risk

How much pussy do you get?

I tend to stay away from gold diggers. My girlfriend (and some of her friends with her approval) is all I get, and all I need.

Does your gf know about who you are and what you've done?

No one knows the full extent.

How you know she isn't a golddigger ?

She was my girlfriend years before I made any money.

ARe you going to marry her or are you a rent don't buy guy?

I'd go for the latter. Marriage simply isn't an option.

does she know how much money youve made?

Not exactly

Did you know in some places like Philadelphia the abuse of these drugs are currently making people who actually need them have to jump through hoops just to relive their symptoms? Nothing against you personally cause I know either way people are going to get the product I was just curious

Probably happening out of philadelphia as well.

Visit the sub a lot, did you press your own pills? How hard is it to get a pill press up and running?

Very easy actually. Many businesses sell them in canada. They are perfectly legal and un-monitored. Law enforcement tends to monitor them anyway by placing GPS bugs on them when they arrive in the country from china, but they are easily jammed.

That's good but I meant more like literally operate it haha. Like it's obvious you need some skill because they're are a bunch of shitty presses and very few perfect or near perfect ones. That sounds pretty suspect too placing bugs on things legal to buy

It only requires an hour of maintenance every 5-6 hours of pressing, about 100k pills. Its something one can learn to do in a single day of training.

So what's up with people and garbage presses, they just don't give as I guess? Also would you recommend someone try to do the same?

People with garbage presses either don't have the correct recipe or are dumb. Thats why buying drugs in the street can be dangerous, some people have no idea what they are doing.

hey dad can tdp-0's be bugged? does the bug rely on electricity? who places the bug? is it a rogue seller? edit: nevermind i see what you said earlier. but first question

I doubt it.

How did you learn all the right procedures to run your operation. Did you know your workers beforehand? If not how did you recruit them? How did you connect with your Chinese plug?

Alibaba.com connected me to my first china plug.

It has a lot evolved, much was learned by myself prior to transmitting it.

What would be your best tips to not get caught when you are doing fraudulent activities in the darknet ?

Use tails, and keep it updated. Also, your offline opsec is tenfold more important than your online opsec. You are much more likely to be busted from leaving a fingerprint on a package than by improperly tumbling your coins.

Cool ! Is there any good ways of learning in-depth Tails ? And my question will sound veru absurd, but... if you buy BTC with cash, on a ATM... why is it very important to tumble the bitcoins ?

Best is just download, run, and explore.

What are your hobbies? Do you work out? Read? Hockey fan?

Movie fanatic? What shows are you into?

Travelling has become my favorite hobby. Other than that I just follow the news and hang out around in bars.

Into the music scene at all?

We investigated large techno shows as a proper way to launder funds, actually.

I feel that would be rather easy. Book an artist.. Sell 200 tickets, claim you sold 2500? Something like that?

Thanks for your answers man. Great to see someone get out when their ahead. Have a good weekend

yeah, thats pretty much the way.

What makes you think you're above "the law" (best term I could think of) when it comes to "balling out" on the internet, as you have? I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just curious if you know from a software or hardware perspective that none of this will get you caught (or do you know it will and don't care?)

None of this can be tracked back to me and all pills and associated evidence have been long sold.

What's the weirdest sexual thing you have ever done, AK? Having a long term girlfriend and all, surely you have done some weird shit.

also your joint rolling blows lol

Thats a strange question m8.

Answer it

I had a threesome with one of my [M] friends and my girlfriend. Was kinda awkward. We didn't repeat the experience.

And no, I didn't touch his dick.

Have you ever hired a hit?

Yes I have, but the conflict was resolved before the hit was carried out so I cancelled it. Also re-considered it on moral grounds. Lost my deposit too :(

Do you feel guilty over the lives you have ruined?

Have you ever seen a xanax bar left on a table ruin someone's life?

There's your answer

How did you ship it without getting caught?

we rotated personnel regularly.

Are you afraid of being found/charged for manufacture/distribution/or trafficking? I'd imagine you wouldn't be posting any of this information online if you were. How can you be confident that this won't lead to your arrest?

Thats a possibility, but I think if they didn't have the evidence to charge me last year, they are not likely to get it now.

What protections do you use hide your identity while continually operating under the same pseudonym and what methods did you use to learn about them or entrust in their safety?

No fears towards to law enforcement or organized crime? I certainly would have no pictures of my place of business or product if I dealt drugs?

How much do you lift?

I dont even lift bro

1) thanks..... I've feed the family and paid the rent. you opened a market for bulk sales when the American domestic market was closed off ...

now questions any new plans? since the summer ive been mind set on playing in the gray area of herbal tablets... in the relaxation and sleep category ... i see the dick and party pills of all kinds in every American gas station and smoke shop....

I'm going to watch as the canadian xanax game dies. Then I will probably take a small offshore vacation

Have you donated to any charities?

yes, i've donated to DNM avengers in order to fund drug testing.

How many threesomes have you had?

three. Good memories.

What filler is used in the bars?

mostly cellulose.

How paranoid are you about LE ever catching you, and how many years do you think you would be facing if you were caught?

If I was arrested and convicted in canada I could get 3 years. If extradited to the usa I could get 5 years. If convicted in the USA over the kingpin act I could get life.

Say I wanted to get into this. Any recommendations?

research research and research

Why are you not ashamed of yourself for your atleast partial responsibility in ruining people's lives?

I know you are going to cop out and say users are going to use but that is just a poor line of reasoning you use to make yourself feel better. Just because something may or may not happen without your intervention does not indemnify you against what does happen from your actions. You are no better than someone slanging crack rocks on the street.

Its not my responsibility, its theirs.

One of my friends got into xans last year. Fucked him up. He's not the only one whose life was damaged,by this drug, not by a long shot. I think you're a terrible person and I hope your industry dies.

Do you know anyone who ruined their life with this shit?

no I don't, Sorry about your friend.
