A man who sold lethal chemicals to victims across the globe has confessed to aiding suicides, admitting that his deadly packages reached buyesr in the UK, US, Canada and Europe. Sources confirm the seller, whose identity remains protected under a court order, operated a shadowy online marketplace that offered poison kits for those seeking to end their lives.
Uncovered documents reveal a chilling supply chain. The seller, a former chemist in his 60s, sourced industrial-grade sodium nitrite and instructed buyers on dosage and administration. He communicated via encrypted apps, accepting cryptocurrency payments. Investigators traced packages to at least 120 addresses in seven countries. In one case, a 24-year-old woman in the UK died hours after receipt.
“He knew exactly what he was doing,” a detective told me. “He wrote step-by-step guides. He offered troubleshooting if the poison didn’t work.” The seller’s admissions came during a plea deal in a US federal court, where he faces charges of aiding and abetting suicide. He admitted to profiting from the despair of vulnerable people.
This isn’t a lone wolf. It’s a network. The chemicals, the payment systems, the postal loopholes: all point to a structured trade in death. Corporate suppliers of sodium nitrite claim ignorance, but documents show orders flagged by customs were redirected through shell companies. The money trail? Laundered through offshore accounts.
I’ve spent months following this. The victims: depressed, terminally ill, abandoned. The sellers: anonymous, calculating, relentless. They hide behind screens and legal grey zones. But this confession breaks the code. For the first time, one of them has spoken.
The case raises uncomfortable questions. Who polices the dark web? Why are lethal substances so easy to buy? And how many more sellers are out there, watching, waiting for the next desperate email? The authorities have seized his accounts, but the server logs show thousands of unanswered messages. The business isn’t dead. It’s just waiting.
A prosecutor said: “This is a victory for the families. But it’s a small piece of a much larger puzzle.” I believe him. The money, the bodies, the silence: this is just the beginning.
