The Chicoms killing Americans with fentanyl

 Federalist Wire:

...

The Justice Department has cracked down on a massive drug trafficking ring straight out of Communist China, indicting 22 Chinese nationals and three Americans for flooding our streets with deadly fentanyl precursors. This “first-of-its-kind” operation exposes how Beijing’s operatives are directly fueling the opioid crisis that’s ripping apart American families and neighborhoods.

The federal grand jury in Ohio didn’t hold back, slamming dozens of defendants and four shady Chinese companies with charges of conspiring to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl mixtures and international money laundering.

FBI Director Kash Patel didn’t mince words in his statement: “Today’s announcement marks a first-of-its-kind international operation for the FBI targeting the fentanyl plague that has killed tens of thousands of Americans and indicting the companies and individuals in mainland China that manufacture the precursor chemicals fueling the destruction of our communities.”

Patel’s hitting the nail on the head—China’s been getting away with this for years, and now the FBI is stepping up to protect our homeland.

Prosecutors laid it out clear: these Chinese firms deployed a network of overseas nationals to cut deals with U.S. drug traffickers, shipping in cutting agents that stretch out the drugs for bigger profits. These additives get mixed into everything from cocaine to heroin and meth, turning small batches into massive hauls that devastate America’s towns.

The targeted companies read like a who’s who of China’s chemical underworld: Guangzhou Tengyue Chemical Company, Guangzhou Wanjiang Biotechnology Company, Hebei Hongjun New Material Technology Company, and Hebei Feilaimi Technology Company.

On the home front, the indicted Americans include Eric Michael Payne from Ohio and his girlfriend, Auriyon Tresan Rayford. Then there’s Ciandrea Bryne Davis from Atlanta, who’s accused of using crypto to funnel payments to these Chinese handlers for the cutting agents.

Payne allegedly snapped up multiple kilogram shipments from these so-called pharmacies in China, racking up at least 10 kilograms of fentanyl boosters since 2022. That stash could crank out up to 150 kilograms of street-ready fentanyl mixtures, enough to cause chaos on communities.

If there is a valid reason for producing fentanyl, I have not seen it.  It is clearly a dangerous drug that is killing users.  The FBI is pursuing those responsible for pushing this killer drug in the US.  This is looking like a mass murder operation against vulnerable Americans.
