THREE West Australians, including two teenagers, have been convicted in recent months for buying drugs through a notorious underground website.
Police say the successful convictions should serve as a warning to the public that buying drugs online will only lead to “destructive outcomes.”
The three, aged 15, 17 and 26, were arrested and charged after they purchased drugs from the Silk Road website.
The arrests were the result of a police operation dubbed Operation Cinder conducted by Esperance Detectives and the Technology Crime Investigations Unit.
As a result of the operation the two teenagers, who are brothers, were charged with 16 drug related offences, including possession of a prohibited drug with intent to sell or supply and attempt possession of drugs with intent to sell or supply
Late last month, the two teenagers were jailed when they appeared in the Perth Children’s Court.
One was jailed for 12 months and the other was jailed for eight months.
Further investigations led detectives to seize seven ecstasy pills, 6.8g of cannabis and 0.7g of cocaine bought from Silk Road, which arrived in WA on September 25 and October 2 last year.
A 26-year-old man was later charged over the seizure and fined $1000.
Technology Crime Investigation Manager Detective Senior Sergeant Troy Douglas said people caught buying illicit drugs from the Silk Road website would face serious charges.
He urged parents to be mindful of their children’s online activity at all times.
“Parents who do not actively monitor what sites their children are using on computers and smart phones shouldn't be surprised when police execute a search warrant or charge their son or daughter with serious offences,” he said.
“Sites such as Silk Road will only lead to a destructive outcome.”

Does anybody have any ideas on how this happened, how LE caught them seeing as it doesn't say anything about them confessing to it. I wasn't aware someone could be charged for being a suspected buyer, (an entire operation just for that?!) I thought LE would spend that time and effort on something more than just a few folks buying small amounts. (yet they charged them with intent to sell despite the small amounts they did seize)
Thoughts/theories/opinions?

Wait a second, so they created a whole operation named "Operation Cinder" to nab a 15 year old and 17 year old buying not large quantities of drugs? What fucking idiots. Honestly, the only people that deserved to be jailed are the ones who came up with this fucking idea. What pieces of shit, I hope they rot in hell.
Since it was kids who got caught I would venture to say they were probably idiots and talked about it a lot or made other stupid blatant mistakes, nothing to worry about.

This is old news but since you asked about it here's more information on the same operation (all clearnet):

It sounds like they aren't that huge of a town if they only get 100 packages a day. It probably isn't that difficult to spot especially if its not domestic. If all they have to boast about is a couple of teenagers and a 20 something who ended up with a fine, it seems to me like they are probably just seizing what they can and trying to scare people out of ordering by convicting some dumbass kinds who more than likely bragged about it at school or on twitter or whatever.

It would be just terrible, but I wonder when the people will become fed up with the police state and will just start hiding in the hills and putting bullets in cop's heads as they roll down the road? Not that they deserve it, at least not all of them. Those that write the laws and order them to enforce these evil laws, by crooked cops, all over this evil empire.
Fucking shit!
Again, please don't do that. That was be just awful for the people who had to clean it up and they might cause an accident and hurt an innocent person It would be terrible. I sure hope that never happens anywhere, especially in this only bastion of freedom known as the USA. I mean...we are free in every way. You can do anything you want as long as it doesn't directly harm others. No...wait....we are the new Nazi Germany, except we are way more high tech and we have the capacity to have the "thought" crimes, enforced by the "thought police". The Propaganda ministry tells the talking heads what to say and if you don't agree then you are labeled as insane, given mind-altering drugs, or just fucked all the way around. Hell, now you can have your kids taken and the evidence they site is "teaching your children to mistrust the government".

Well I've been buying drugs here for a little over 18 months and I can hand on heart honestly say I haven't witnessed no "Destructive outcomes" just pleasurable outcomes every time!
-
I think we should hear of a lot more busts tied to SR. If I was a kid that knew about SR and got my drugs from a friend, why not blame an anonymous person online rather than rat on my friend?

Or the kid could rat on a nonexistent stranger, claim they found drugs on the sidewalk or some other BS excuse and not draw in any more "children are purchasing drugs off silk road" attention. I think there's been enough of that already.
-
The kids parents opened their mail and called the police to teach them a lesson. I'm sure they didn't expect their kids to go to jail.
They coughed up everything, there was no technology used by police, just informers and good cop bad cop. Very traditional.
Esperance is something like 1000kms from Perth... A very small town.
The only alarming things is the fact that they got custodial sentences.....
-
The local post office probably sees around 100 items of international post a day, not exactly hard to single out the SR orders really, even the laziest doughnut eating LEO could pick a few items out.
Custodial sentences in this case are a fucking travesty of justice, utter waste of time, money, resources and peoples lives.

What the actual fuck? Sending teenagers to prison for 0.7g coke and 7 pills?

Welcome to the Australian judicial system, that's how they roll in WA, probably one of those "send a strong message" bullshit sentences. Did you read how they got caught? their parents ratted them out to the police, great fucking parenting there!!

if i found my kids on powders i'd do the same rat the little bastards out, but over some no weed prolly just nab it for myself

Seriously... I can find more drugs than that under my couch cushions LOL.

So you'd spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise a kid to adulthood and have everything necessary to have a good life, but you'd also be willing to royally fuck up their life by giving them a criminal record? Come on, man.
Cops are dicks, the last thing we need to do is make their job easier. The the kid is a good kid and doesn't have an actual habit or addiction, then just throw the drugs away at worst or let them keep it and teach them how to be more discrete. Lord knows I used to get way fucked up on alcohol and weed when I was in high school but it didn't keep me from doing well in school and eventually finding a good job.
Sad thing is these cops are probably patting themselves on the back like they're in Bad Boys 2 or Dirty Harry or some shit.

If that was my kids I'd spank them for sending the drugs to the house and then snort every last fleck of powder in front of them to teach them a lesson.
I'd never rat my kids out to the cops. It's a dog act to rat anyone out to the cops but doing it to your own family is just disgraceful.

I have to second that, put your kids up to the L E because they turn to "powders" super parenting example that is. They need direction not canning,

Then take care of your family and leave the fucking cops out of it, educating and raising your children should not require the need for police intervention especially for .7g of coke and 7 pills, ratting anyone out is a low act, ratting on your own family is about as low as it gets.
-
i agree it would be a last resort (say if) you had a son violently addicted to heroin, and was thieving off family members and being as equally dog and as a father there was nothing you could do, to me prison would be a good humbling experience, sure as hell set me straight, well straightish also looking back and this is just me i wish me oldies had have done something extreme to sort me out other than me being a law unto myself for far to long!!! but i respect anyones parenting decisions, if i had to raise me some extreme beat downs may have been good LOL
-
This moral issue gets me every day, it fucks with my conscience that my 17 year old could be doing as I do on here. (trust me, she's not, where the fuck she is I have no idea though... :-\) As much as I love being part of something like SR I hate that I can't see a fix for this in the near future. Age is Unanimity.....and unanimity is necessary.
.
As far as LE go in this case..., these guys ran an advertising campaign which made it impossible of LE to ignore. They don't pursue anyone for a few grams of shit.... but if people so stupid make it impossible to ignore, idiocry will win and LE will be forced to come up with some 'cool' name for an operation that fell into their laps and stained their bullshit uniform. Then the boss of the area obviously needs media for his promotion, its how it works.... so its like a scene from 'underbelly'. I love Australian cops... come get me ya fucken dopey fat fucks.. I dont say much really but the reputation of LE here, and definitely the public servants checking shit sent into this counrty is way way out of proportion. I would call them all fat lazy cunts but I would offend some acquantinces I have and I wouldn't want to do that. They're not all fat anyway.

you cannot win a war with society.. stupid antiquated laws need dire refurbishment . There was a professor on radio recently stating that society doesn't know what to do with so called "rejects" on drugs so they lock em up and throw away the keys.
I don't even bother with the media much anymore cause it is ALL sugarcoated politically correct sensationalized snot that makes ones blood boil.
The parents of these boys need to be shot.
