They should have just set up a website and let people order their drug of choice online. They could go international and make a profit off not only the drugs but also shipping and handling. They could cut into territories in other countries without even having to leave the comfort of their own home. |

Criminals lack moral insight not intellect. Why would it surprise anyone that they, much like any other good businessman, figured out how to make their service more convenient for the customer ? How is this news ? |
