There is no information beyond HugBunter’s post on Dread:
“I’ve received information from a trusted source who has provided verified bust info in the past, that OpiateConnect has been arrested. He’s currently sitting in federal custody and the news hasn’t broke yet.”
“All buyers make sure to clean house as it appears that his market accounts have been accessed in the past week which is some time after the arrest was made, this also allows us to assume that they have access to his wallets, PGP keys and so on. His 2FA was also disabled at Dread, I’ve now locked out his account and his subdread.”
“I’ll update this post when the news does drop, which will probably be a lot faster now.”
“Stay safe.”

It is impossible for me to verify this as of now obviously. HugBunter has learned about other arrests before law enforcement published an announcement. Likely correct.

This dude should've excited years ago, when will they learn? Alas not everyone can be Alpraking

OC is an idiot but tbf OC did way bigger numbers than AlpraKing. GB is bigger than AK too. I think people give AK too much credit. He was the first big presser obv but that was like 7 years ago. A lot of people have surpassed the numbers he was doing.

"LINCOLN PARK, Mich. – Officials said two women and two men were part of a dark web operation in Metro Detroit that involved moving garbage bags full of drugs and mailing orders individually from a post office. ‘Large-scale dark web drug vendor’ Officials said they began an investigation in 2018 into Victor Hernandez, of Detroit. He was suspected of operating as a “large-scale dark web drug vendor,” according to an Aug. 22 criminal complaint. His vendor, called “opiateconnect,” has been operating since at least 2016 on most dark web marketplaces, authorities said. It sells high volumes of pure/uncut cocaine and pressed Xanax, court records show. Sales are made on the vendor’s own onion site and via Jabber direct messaging, officials said. ///...."

Is hugbunter working with the fed's? how does he get hold of this information? Suspicious.

u all know what this mean ? dread is connected directly - indirectly with federal agencies. At least with a double agent. I personally know what's going on and who is this guy providing " verified bust " info. It's a small world somehow and a world as dark as its field's name suggest it.
ass2022-09-02f6f3caf0
i think its werid hugs would bother singling out buyers. The context he seemed to mean "buyers" in that case being people who just buy personal amounts worth, not a single one of whom ive ever heard of getting mixed up in one of these International drug enforcement operations, based on the fact that the feds found out they were buying personal amounts. so its weird hed caution people who are in nodanger. it wasa weird commnet. Hes also a weird fucker though so who knows
Hdndn2022-09-03d155b360
OCs "buyers" are mostly resellers. He did have personal amounts listed but you could buy a 20k pack no problem. Im sure he meant people buying thousands a week should clean house. And at 440 for just a kpack there were a lot of resellers. I snagged 5k a week for awhile myself before i walked away.

Hug Bunter is a filtering informant. DREAD IS VERBOTEN. AIVD, CNI, NCA, SIS, HSI,DGSI, DOCB RCMP, all monitoring. Fear not unless you fall into the high priority categories or are linked to them. CURB YOUR TEMPTATION TO PEDDLE OPIATES folks.
