I can see why poor people sell heroin (everybody has to make a living), but why would someone with such a good job do that and risk everything?

With any public worker there's a sense of entitlement and false sense of job security.

And risk a great pension where something like 90% of FDNY retire on disability.

He deserves to go to jail for

1- using the deep web without a VPN !
2- not using a P.O box for a mailing adress.

one gram of pure fentanyl would be 40-50 grams of pure heroin.
1 gram of H =$100
1 gram of F = $5000
Any possession of Fent is "intent to distribute".
He did not buy the H off the deep web if you read the article.
Smh. He wasted a perfectly good 0.32xxxx in bitcoin which is the REAL CRIME here. lol

lol what a loser...the good thing about these civil servants is that despite their huge fringe benefits, they are so dumb that they easily squander it away. I can say the same about many NYPD as well..

You don't know what the heck you're talking about.


Maybe *some* might have problems managing their finances but a good number live far better lives than many on this board or elsewhere.


You go out to parts of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and even Bronx; many FDNY, DSNY, NYPD, Corrections and other "civil servants" own their homes. Have one or two *very* nice vehicles, take regular vacations, often own one or more vacation/rental properties, their kids are in private/parochial schools then onto college.... In short very solid middle to upper middle class lifestyles.


Everybody likes to point the finger especially when a bad apple is exposed; but the truth is far from the odd one caught out.

Great way to ignorantly generalize all public workers. Do they all sell drugs?
