Yes, LE can sell drugs to catch dealers. Awesome I know. We don't know if he just bragged that he had someone killed or if he really did have someone killed. LE was clearly aware of things for a while if they could get enough reputation to be a Hitman, I figure they can get enough reputation to sell drugs... I mean scale of 1 to 10 which is harder?

Hah, no the complaint filed[1] shows nothing of the sort. You literally just made up the line about selling. In this seller bust, they located some packages, supposedly by a narcotics dog, noticed they all shared the same handwriting, fake return address, and stamps. Over months, they tried to trace back who sent the packages, including asking post office workers to be on the lookout. Some post office workers remember seeing a distinct person "blonde female". From there, it was basic footwork as they watched them mail more and more packages. The only thing the government agents did was coerce a buyer to make some purchases, so they'd have a known purchase to link "NOD" and the suspect they had. They didn't sell drugs or anything of the sort. This just underscores what I said: It depends on the operating parameters of the sellers. If they are mailing a high volume of packages a week, it'll take some strict procedures to avoid creating the sort of profile that is noticeable. As far as "rep to be a hitman", I've no idea what you're talking about. The supposed hits weren't placed over SR. 1: http://cryptome.org/2013/10/sadler-white-complaint.pdf http://cryptome.org/2013/10/sadler-white-complaint.pdf
