> But this guy was selling carfentanil Do you have a source? It seems that guy was selling MDMA and marijuana. Here's the relevant quote from https://pthorpe92.dev/intro/my-story/ https://pthorpe92.dev/intro/my-story/ I was caught with MDMA coming in the mail from Vancouver, and some marijuana coming from california (the latter of which is what I am currently serving my time for right now)

Gluing a few stories together (links included below where I'm not citing to your link) it seems like: ~2012 he was caught selling MDMA and marijuana, and went to prison ~end or 2015 or start of 2016 he was released on probation [Edit: Added entry] December 2016 police responding to a domestic violence call enter his apartment to make contact with the alleged victim, and discover U-47700 (a synthetic opioid) https://www.courts.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt471/files/documents/2021-08/20170624.pdf https://www.courts.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt471/files/docu... April 2017 the police find traces of carfentanil while executing a search warrant at his place - plausibly but not provably linked to some recent carfentanil deaths - and police announce they are searching for him. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/man-wanted-suspected-lethal-carfentanil-possession/ https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/man-wanted-suspected-let... May 2017 he ends up back in prison. Aug 2017 he pleads guilty to possession of U47700 (a synthetic opioid) with intent to distribute https://www.wmur.com/article/defense-plans-appeal-of-search-after-man-found-guilty-of-drug-possession/12021701 https://www.wmur.com/article/defense-plans-appeal-of-search-... Oct 2017 he's sentenced to 15-30 years on the above charge, he has not been charged with possessing the carfentanil (yet) despite the apparent evidence https://www.wmur.com/article/man-facing-carfentanil-charge-receives-sentence-for-possessing-u-47700/12826104 https://www.wmur.com/article/man-facing-carfentanil-charge-r... The articles aren't clear on this, but given his own recounting I assume that a suspended sentence for Marijuana was un-suspended as a result of the new charges and he is serving that sentence first, or concurrently.

    > He was picked up for breaking his girlfriend’s arm, a detail that’s missing from his own apologies.
