"We got a call from the Thai police that a Swede was arrested, but we are still waiting for the police report."

Also a criminal suspect in Sweden

I had read that one JJ.
I was amazed that he was generating an income of $100K a month internet dealing steriods out of Sweden.
Can certainly see how people get into these sort of situations earning that sort of cash for something that most people would find distasteful but not exactly criminal in the 'armed robbery' sort of senario....or is that just me??

Yes, 100k certainly is a big chunk of change. There is a huge market for body building steroids. IMO, they ought to be legally available. The only one hurt by performance enhancing drugs are the users themselves. No one, in my knowledge, has ever committed a crime to get money for their steroid fix.
I've got my own opinions on the decriminalization of other illegal drugs, however this isn't the thread for that debate.
I will say this much though... YaBa (methamphetamine) is a scourge. Anyone, caught & convicted of manufacturing, distribution, or sales of methamphetamine should receive the harshest penalty available by law.

Yes, speed is a diferent 'kettle of fish' to streroids - although there is some (I don't know how serious the studies were) data that links long term steroid use to huge mood swings & violence.
Interesting that he switched to 'ice' & the report linking it to 'Hells' Angels'. I know that that organisation is suspected of being heavily involved in the production & distribution of amphetamines in the UK as well.
