Bitcoin, Fentanyl, and a Jersey Guy: 12 Years of Bad Decisions
According to the US Department of Justice (who clearly had a field day with this one), Panzera was part of a drug trafficking organization that made Black Friday shoppers look amateur. Hundreds of kilograms of fentanyl analogues, MDMA, methylone, and ketamine? Check. Counterfeit pills that were basically fentanyl roulette? Double check. Over a metric ton of drugs imported? Triple check. And let’s not forget the hundreds of thousands of dollars sent to China via Bitcoin and wire transfers. Because who needs Venmo when you’re funding a global drug empire?
![The algorithm strategically merges hierarchical subtree structures, prioritizing least common ancestors to maintain distance relationships; specifically, the least common ancestor of merged nodes reflects the higher ancestral position within the original trees, ensuring that the output embedding distance [latex]d\_{\alpha}(x,y)[/latex] is greater than or equal to the maximum of the individual subtree distances [latex]d\_{\alpha\_{1}}(u,x)[/latex] and [latex]d\_{\alpha\_{2}}(u,y)[/latex], thus preserving structural integrity during the merge process.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.15470v1/x1.png)
