The line between being willing to take enough risk to get involved in drugs and being risk averse not to get in trouble from being involved with drugs is a very thin line.

You can get rich from drugs very easily but getting rich from drugs while minimising your risk enough to live out your days comfortably is hard.

The smart way for a nerd to get rich from drugs is to formulate a short-term high risk plan that utilises the dark net to acquire and sell drugs before moving on very quickly. The problem is, if you’re making a lot of money very quickly... can you give it up? What’s one more day? What’s another week? You’ve been going 6 months — what’s 7?

Drug dealing groups are not a carefully designed and well oiled machine, there’s no knowledge passed down from generation to generation: there’s a group of people who haven’t yet been caught out by their mistakes. The people mentioned in this article made a mistake by using this app, and that mistake finally caught up to them.

The whole drug industry is predatory, the smartest people involved in drugs are the most predatory because minimising risk for yourself means offloading that risk onto others using violence and coercion.

There’s no romantic art to drug dealing: if you’re smart and willing to hurt others, you can be a millionaire before the year is out.
