Internet dealer from Massachusetts busted in 2007 finally sentenced.

"According to documents filed with the Court and statements made in court, in 2007, PAULINE distributed anabolic steroids by mail to individuals who contacted him over the Internet, including customers in Connecticut. PAULINE had advertised the sale of anabolic steroids on Internet message boards such as "TheHouseofJuice.com."

"This matter stems from Operation Phony Pharm, an investigation headed by the FBI's Healthcare Fraud Unit in the District of Connecticut."

"In sentencing PAULINE below the recommended guideline range of 24 to 30 months of imprisonment, Judge Burns noted that PAULINE had stopped distributing steroids prior to his awareness that he was the target of a federal investigation, and that PAULINE has spent time recently discussing his criminal conduct with high school students and educating them as to the dangers associated with steroids use."

Who wouldn't close down if they knew they were the target of a federal investigation :-)

TheHouseofJuice.com is still up and running, strange it's the only forum they have named.
