Following the execution of a number of federal warrants Tuesday, 23 people are charged with trafficking counterfeit prescription pills in connection with a North Shore-based drug trafficking organization.

Authorities also seized more than 74,000 fake Adderall pills containing methamphetamine and more than 1,000 oxycodone pills containing fentanyl, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.

The investigation into this drug trafficking organization has been in the works since 2018, when authorities identified brothers Lawrence Michael Nagle and Christopher Nagle as leaders of the organization.

The Nagle drug trafficking organization allegedly distributed large quantities of various controlled substances including Adderall, Xanax, and oxycodone.

This is why rules limiting the production of various prescription substances are stupid.

Do you know what happens when you prescribe somebody their meds and they can't get them? They consider secondary markets. The Rule of Substitution is one of the first economic principles.

I know at least three people who can't fill their prescriptions but "know a guy". I really hope none of it has anything to do with this.

I read it but they don't get any more specific than North Shore (unless I missed it). Any more specific info on where they're based? I mean I get that the distribution is "everywhere" but am curious.

I always just assume the north shore means Lawrence.

Is Fetterman cool with this?

So much for Halloween. Now the kids will have to stick with the weed infused candy.../s

There was a significant raid on Marlborough Road in Salem Tuesday night.

Democrat DA will let them out on 500$ personal recognizance

If you want know more: all that were arrested where white people.

Oh, yeah, I forget about that! My mother said the road was closed down between Overlook and Rockdale.

Lawrence the north short of what body of water? The Merrimack River?

The river of drugs that flow through Massachusetts. My comment had less to do with being on the shore and more to do with drug trafficking.

Always a shitbag that has to throw a political slant into something that has none.

That’s candy corn

Lawrence was one of the brother's first names... The brothers are from Saugus & Revere per the DOJ press release

Me can’t read. Lol.

It's OK... The DOJ press is better than the boston.com article anyway.

BTW, if you wanted a Lawrence story from yesterday (from the DOJ) you have one here https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/lawrence-man-sentenced-nearly-six-years-prison-firearms-offenses

Thanks for this. I read the article which of course doesn't mention this.

Wow thanks! Kind of interesting. Crazy that they range from 21 to 59 years of age. I look too that one person's nickname was Kilo. Perfect.

Or more like me always assume

It’s a safe assumption because nothing good goes on in Lawrence

Yep, and each and every one of those pills is a potential danger that a legitimate prescription is not likely to be. Someone resorting to those channels could get anything from a properly functioning medication to one that is too potent, not potent enough, straight up missing the active ingredient, or laced (intentionally or not) with some other dangerous substance.

Ah, so that’s where all the adderall went!

And "Wichy" lives in Salem -- appropriate for Halloween.

You must live there cause how else would you?

The people I know who have forced me to spend time there have shown me.

There will be another 74,000 pills shipped to replace these ones in the next week, this is futile. The war on drugs is a sisyphean task.

What border do we need to close to prevent this again?

Nice catch. I also like:

"Lawrence M. Nagle Sr., a/k/a “Michael L. Nagle,” a/k/a “Tony Dias,” 54, of Lynn;"

How did Tony Dias enter the chat?

Let no one in. Also -- more guns will definitely help. And lower taxes. But also support cops. But not the federal LEOs -- they are deep state.

Looks like a pill press was seized as well so I’m sure that’s not pure

That was unrelated to this.

I knew the name Christopher nagle sounded familiar.

Don't worry we've still got plenty of razor blades

War on drugs isn’t for sissies, Flubadubber!!

But it’s so profitable we can’t let it go

He sell you pills?

The 74,000 pills were found in a home in Lynnfield.

Oh shit! I taught at the school the drug lords went to.

Forbidden lentils

back off, cop

Just curious , any of them among the 3 million latinos that waltzed over our borders under the current communist administration ? Asking for a friend 😎

Do you know what communist means?

Its an advanced form of socialism to be blunt . You’re welcome snowflake

How is the current administration communist?
