Tyler Pham, 39, of Fairfax, was charged after distributing between 15 and 45 kilograms of meth pills from May 2019 through December 2019, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Pham, who was turned over to the US by Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security, advertised the pills as peach-flavored Adderall under the online alias, “addy4cheap”, authorities said.
Law enforcement agents investigating Pham bought 20 controlled purchases of 767 peach tablets from “addy4cheap” on two different darknet markets, officials reported.
Pham was not working alone, according to the Department of Justice. Law enforcement officers executed search warrants for the homes of Pham and his six co-conspirators, in which they found anywhere from around 100 pills to 6,000 pills inside those homes, officials said.
As of December 2019, “addy4cheap” had received around $483,000 for the approximately 44,872 pills sold, authorities said.
Pham and the six other men involved in the case all pled guilty and were sentenced to over 13 years in prison combined, the DOJ reported.
