San Fernando Valley Duo Indicted for Selling Fentanyl and Cocaine on Darknet
It has been revealed that Brian McDonald (22) of Van Nuys and Ciara Clutario (22) of Burbank have allegedly been engaged in distributing fentanyl-laced pills and cocaine through the darknet.
These individuals now face federal charges with two counts: conspiracy to conduct money laundering activity and selling controlled substances.
Authorities claim that this lucrative business involving mailing small packages to buyers across the United States helped finance their purchase of luxury cars, jewelry, designer clothing and probably more.
Both McDonald and Clutario face severe consequences if convicted.
But besides the punishments, they will receive for breaking the law selling drugs on black market networks like the darknet poses grave threats on its own.
The very nature of this platform makes it a haven for criminal activities such as drug trafficking, weapon sales or other contraband.
This can expose vendors not just to legal action but also increase their vulnerability to scams or even violence from unpredictable buyers or intermediaries. In conclusion one must remember that drug addiction is a complex issue that requires nuanced solutions; making easy money through an illegal activity carries far too many risks for everyone involved and therefore we urge people to make better choices in life.
