A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY
4
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,800
"January 11, 2014, from…
5
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Bastard."
6
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,000
That was his name.
7
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,160
"I always order my crystal here,
then I shoot it up.
8
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,040
And when the first flashback comes
9
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,680
I cook the cocaine to make a bit of crack,
10
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,000
and then I smoke a nice pipe."
11
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,000
"Top-notch, A+++ stuff."
12
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,800
"Guys! I lost two teeth right afterwards.
13
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,920
This stuff really fucks you up.
14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
I definitely recommend it, you dumbasses!"
15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,640
Looks like he was satisfied.
16
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,160
1 TONNE OF DRUGS
17
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,320
IN HIS BEDROOM
18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,280
I've never met
a perpetrator like Mr. Schmidt before.
19
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,560
Maximilian went down in history
as the kid who dealt from his bedroom
20
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,400
because he sold drugs online
from his room at his parents' house.
21
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,000
I haven't been
in this room for a long time.
22
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,080
It seems so small,
but I'd guess the dimensions are right.
23
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,600
Well, small?
It's certainly bigger than a prison cell.
24
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,320
The amount of drugs and money involved
was astonishing,
25
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,000
and he was so young.
26
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Right now I can't tell you
how much money he has.
27
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Safety.
28
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,320
Safety first.
29
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,480
That he's still proud
of what he managed to achieve,
30
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,960
I think that's obvious.
31
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,720
What happened here…
32
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,800
is what happened.
33
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,600
This is where I evolved.
34
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,840
Let's just say that.
35
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,080

REPLICA OF BEDROOM

00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,240
How does someone like Max
43
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,640
become Shiny Flakes?
44
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,280
When did he reach the point
where he took that exit?
45
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,040
"I'm not going to keep going
straight ahead, I'm going to turn off."
46
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,880
Why? When? How come? What for?
47
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,560
Kind of relaxed.
48
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,120
He lived in his room
at his mother and her partner's place.
49
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,040
Those were his surroundings.
50
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,760
He has no friends that I know of.
51
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,000
STEFAN COSTABEL
DEFENSE LAWYER

00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,720
He hasn't had a girlfriend yet either.

00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,240
I HAVE TEN ACCOUNTS LEFT. INTERESTED?
54
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,640
HOW MUCH?
55
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760
TAKE THEM ALL
THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE PRICE
56
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:50,600
I LOST OVER THREE GRAND LAST WEEK
57
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,400
I was more the annoying guy
58
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000
who drew negative attention.
59
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,800
But I…
60
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,680
was also calm.
61
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,680
I was just the skinny kid
who didn't exercise
62
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,800
and hung out on his computer instead.
63
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,800
In adolescence
64
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,840
when you…
65
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,200
develop a degree of arrogance.
66
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,920
The competition wasn't stiff.
67
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,720
GOT SOME CC+SC, NO PROBLEM
68
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,680
YEAH
69
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,480

PARENTS' ROOM, LIVING ROOM
73
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Back at that time I chatted with someone
74
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:47,560
who I know by the alias "dumb pig."
75
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,480

78
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,000
WHAT'S UP?
79
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,480
You talk about lots of things
as the night goes on. It drags on.
80
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,680
NO PLANS
81
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560
You talk about all kinds of bullshit.
82
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,400
I WAS JUST ON SILK ROAD.
SO OVER THE TOP. KNOW IT?
83
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,640
At some point
we got to talking about Silk Road.
84
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,080
"What's on it?" This, that, this.
85
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320
And I think in that moment
it was primarily about
86
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,320
what they offer
in the way of internet fraud.
87
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,720
SILK ROAD
ANONYMOUS MARKET
88
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,480
Until I realized
it's actually more about drugs.
89
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,800
CANNABIS - DISSOCIATIVES -
ECSTACY - OPIOIDS

Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs…
92
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,800
From 100 doses of LSD here
93
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,720
to two grams of crystal meth there.
94
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,160
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING
EVEN A RATING SYSTEM!
95
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,480
We went back and forth talking about it.
96
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,600
We realized the reason for all the drugs
was that profit margins are so high.
97
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,520
Then I thought, yeah that's true.
I crunched the numbers.
98
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,000
I did research.
99
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,840
UNDERGROUND WEBSITE LETS
YOU BUY ANY DRUG IMAGINABLE
100
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,680
There was no moment where I thought,
"Whoa, how crazy is this?"
101
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,480
It was more, "Whoa, this is crazy!"
So, in a positive sense.
102
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,080
It didn't intimidate me,
it made me want more.
103
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,360
ANONYMIZING NETWORK, TOR.

…AND SELL DRUGS ONLINE…
106
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,760
My first thought was, "This exists,
but it can be done way better."
107
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,640
IT ALL HAS TO BE IMPROVED ON
108
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880
WEBSITE, SUPPORT, PICTURES…
109
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,760
EVERYTHING
110
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,040
THAT'S SOME BIG TALK
111
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,960
LOL NO
112
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,000
NO SUBSTANCE
113
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,040
WANNA BET
114
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,440
The guy I was talking to, dumb_pig, said,
115
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,360
"It's not so easy.
It's dangerous." Yada, yada.
116
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,960
"You can't just make it better.
How do you think you can make it better?
117
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,960
There is no other platform."
118
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,480
"All right,
then you just make your own platform."
119
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,360
How can I ship it better than this guy?
120
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,800
How can I get
a better profit margin than him?
121
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,640
How can I get more customers than him?
122
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,840
How can I satisfy customers better?
123
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,600
COKE, HASH AND SPEED SHOULD WORK
WITH PEOPLE UP FOR WASTING MONEY
124
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,640
…WHO DON'T WANT TO BUY IN THE PARK
125
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,400
There were lots of sellers.
126
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,920
One had better customer service,
the next one had the best prices,
127
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,760
but there wasn't anyone
who did everything really well.
128
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,440
THIS IS THE DUMBEST IDEA YOU'VE EVER HAD
129
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000
KINDERGARTEN GANGSTER
COMPETING WITH A FIVE MM BUSINESS
130
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,840
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW A DEALER
131
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,040
SO I GET TO KNOW ONE????
132
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,240
Lots of the dealers
come from a different background.
133
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,360
They tend to come from the streets
and have contacts where they get drugs.
134
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,920
They sold them there,
135
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,120
but have no technical knowledge
on how to protect themselves
136
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,000
or how to set up their own shop
and present things nicely.
137
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,880
I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR SUPPLIERS…
138
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,480
KAY…
139
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,040
It wasn't necessarily like I decided,
"OK, I'm doing this."
140
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,480
It was more like, "How could you do it?"
141
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:04,880
And then you think it through.
142
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,240
And in order to see how to reach the goal
you already start doing some of it.
143
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,640
Then I gave it a try.
144
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,280
REDBULL@EXPLOIT.IM
STATUS: AVAILABLE, SUBSCRIPTION: BOTH
145
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480
HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?
WE DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER.
146
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:24,960
TRUE.
147
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,840
I WANT TO SELL. I NEED 25G OF COKE
AND TEN MDMA. TO TEST
148
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,120
CAN YOU GIVE ME A GOOD PRICE?
I'LL NEED IT REGULARLY.
149
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,680
1,700. BITCOIN ONLY
150
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,760

00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,560
OK
152
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,480
SEBASTIAN BUCHHOLZ, PACKSTATION, 145
04159 LEIPZIG
153
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,120
When I placed my first order with redbull,
154
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,240
I think it was something silly
like 25 grams of cocaine
155
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,680
and something like
ten or 20 grams of MDMA.
156
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,480
That was it.
157
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,440
I suddenly had it there
158
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,480
and had to see how it smelled,
how it looked.
159
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Hm? It was all very new and unusual.
160
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,600
What do I know about drugs?
161
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,480
It surprised everyone
162
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:18,680
because everyone assumes that the people
who are active in this sphere
163
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:21,240
also consume regularly.
164
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,800
And that's just not Max.
165
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,640
COCAINE
166
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,160
First I had to read up on
what it does to you.
167
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,480
What do people do with it?
168
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,200
When you watch shows and feature films
169
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,400
everything's always cool,
only heroin gets a bad rap.
170
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,960
But other than that it's,
"Hey, party! It's all fun."
171
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,200
Funnily enough I had this cool Xbox.
172
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,720
It had this kind of
piano-black reflective surface,
173
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,560
and I thought,
174
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,480
"Hm, if I put it in front of my TV
175
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,680
and then put a cool fire on my TV,
176
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,000
then I'm sure the reflection
will look really good on the Xbox."
177
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,960
And the picture was the bomb.
178
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,200
At first lots of people praised that
and said, "It looks so yummy.
179
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640
That's the only reason I'm ordering."
180
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,640
At the very start
I was really nervous and thought,
181
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,560
"Oh, God! Maybe it's like in movies,
you do something and the cops come."
182
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,120
But once you've understood
the technical background that vanishes.
183
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,760
All that left were all the possibilities
for what you could do.
184
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,880
Like a game.

how this shop is different
196
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,680
to other online shops.
197
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Not at all. The products were different.
198
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,360
You paid for it in advance,
199
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,040
then it was processed and sent.
200
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,920
Instead of shoes it was drugs.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FAQ
210
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,160
You could read and learn there
211
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,280
how it all works
so everything stays anonymous.
212
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,600
IS IT SECURE?
213
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,560

It is also interesting
that there was a minimum order value.
220
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,400
It was set up so the customer
could rate how satisfied they were.

PETRIC KLEINE
FORMER PRESIDENT OF SAXONY BCI
222
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,200
That was fascinating.
I'd never seen anything like it before.
223
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,960
It's like Amazon.
224
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,120
I don't get the Amazon comparison.
225
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,200
Amazon has different retailers.
226
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920
With me it was just me.

Lots of people
who are good with tech will say,
232
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,800
"Okay, with a bit of thought and effort,
I could have maybe done the same thing."
233
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,120
But the difference is,
either you do it or you don't.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DO THAT ONLINE.
239
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,440
My shop could be run normally
in the internet
240
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,920
because, with the right knowledge,
it was simply possible.
241
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,760
It's no different than someone
being in a marketplace in a city,
242
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,600
maybe behind glass.

RICARDO SCHULZ
CHIEF PROSECUTOR
244
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,160
But then running
an illegal business in plain sight.
245
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Well, it was pretty brazen.
Someone was very sure of himself.
246
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,760
Other people probably wouldn't manage it.
247
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,160
DR. HANS CHRISTOF HIERONYMUS
FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST
248
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,600
Because they're worried
or scared or think, "I can't do that.
249
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,520
That's an outrageous thing to do.
I'll harm lots of people doing that."
250
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,240
But he has no such scruples,
251
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,040
and that's why he succeeded
in doing it all so clinically.
252
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:09,079
"I control everything.
I'm above everything. I can do this."
253
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,400
That's dangerous.
254
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040
The idea to do the whole thing
255
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,520
came on December 10, 2013.
256
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,560
Two weeks later, I think on Christmas Day,
the shop was up.
257
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,359
And then the problem was more,
258
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,079
"Okay, now I have a shop,
259
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,319
if I knew better
how to get it to customers."
260
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,480
Then I forwarded it to dumb_pig
261
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,119
who was supposed to handle sales.
262
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,080
I wasn't up for doing that.
It was too real for me.
263
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,160
So I thought,
"Okay, look, you get all of it,
264
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,520
then follow my instructions
and everything will be fine."

I don't know what his real online name was
273
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,000
but at some point
I started calling him dumb_pig.
274
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,520
Why?
275
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,320
Because he's a dumb pig.
276
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,280
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU?
277
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,840
PEOPLE ARE ORDERING ALREADY!
278
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,360

00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,440
HELLLOOOOOO!
280
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,800
Yeah, dumb_pig bailed, and I thought,
281
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,400
"What bullshit,
I worked so hard the last 30 days
282
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,120
and now it's just over?
283
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,400
I don't want anything to do
with shipping. It's all too close to home.
284
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,600
I'd rather just do stuff
on my PC and have my peace."
285
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,360
And then I thought,
"No, now I've started it and it's not…
286
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,520
I can't just stop halfway."
287
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,120
So I did it myself.
288
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Were you worried your family would notice?
289
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,840
No family.
290
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,640
Didn't anybody notice?
291
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Nope.
292
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,120
At the very beginning,
293
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,920
January, February, March,
294
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,920
it was all very amateurish.
295
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400
There's no online instructions
on breaking up MDMA
296
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320
or on how to portion out cocaine.
297
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:29,200
So I had to try things out on my own
298
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,720
to see what I could even do.
299
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,800
Even the simplest things.
300
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,600
At first I had a knife
301
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,040
and started digging around
in the MDMA, which is like a rock.
302
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,880
It was chaotic.
303
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,000
HI, EVERYTHING GOT HERE ALL RIGHT
304
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,760
LIKE I SAID
305
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,600
Redbull was my first supplier.
306
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,520
He really helped me a lot.
307
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,080
-MDMA IS REALLY HARD
-BULL
308
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,120
He didn't just sell me stuff,
309
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,080
he also put me into contact with people.
310
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,720
He was a kind of mentor, I'd say.
311
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,360
I could ask him any stupid question,
eventually he answered.
312
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,200
MDMA IS KID'S STUFF
313
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,600
HOW DO I GET THE MDMA
INTO SMALLER PIECES????
314
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,560
HAMMER, CHISEL, PLASTIC BOX
315
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,320
JUST REALLY POUND ON IT
316
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,720
AND DON'T INHALE THE DUST
317
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,960
REALLY???
318
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,200
What if someone had been standing here?
319
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,080
I was at the home improvement store.
320
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,560
Hammer, chisel.
321
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,160
The necessities.
322
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,280
That never happened?
323
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,480
Oh, no. They go to work, so…
324
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,480
Of course, it was very convenient
that I could come in here and exit there.
325
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,240
And didn't have far to go.
326
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,840
Don't people make mistakes?
327
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,920
Not usually.
328
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,320

00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,720
This looks so funny.
332
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,320
I used to mess with prison officers
when they came in at 6:00 a.m.
333
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,200
to see if you're still alive.
334
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,320
I always put a minion at the computer.
335
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,600
That confused them.
336
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,920
A pro.
337
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,280
When the shop was going
I never imagined prison.
338
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,840
So I had no idea what to expect.
339
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,080
Not that it would end like this.
340
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,720
But now four and a half years have passed.
341
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,480
In those four and a half years
others study and do other things,
342
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,680
live the college life, et cetera.
343
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,320
Here, there's nothing.
Get up early, go to bed at night.
344
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Very, very, very boring.
345
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,960
My motto has always been
to stay away from other people.
346
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,400
I always had a small group
that I'd hang out with, a few people.
347
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,280
But it's not good to get too involved
with people in general.
348
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,880
I don't know, it's all pretty antisocial,
349
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,760
very primitive.
350
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,280
At the very beginning
it was all pretty relaxed.
351
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:16,960
You had one order, then five,
then ten orders a day.
352
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,000
The security measures are pretty simple.
353
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,320
You don't meet anyone.
354
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,680
And you have to make sure
you don't get caught while mailing them.
355
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:46,160
Sometimes someone would look
and want to mail something.
356
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,560
I stepped aside and said, "Go on.
I have so many packages here."
357
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,040
And then no one cares.
358
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,920
At that time it wasn't that common
to send drugs through the mail.
359
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,280
It's amazing that you can build
360
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:08,240
a flourishing drug trade
with official mail services.

You have to have the idea
and then see it through.
363
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,520
Yeah, the Deutsche Post
did really good work.
364
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,280
People were ecstatic.
365
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,280
They ordered at 3:00 p.m.
and got it the next morning at eight.
366
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,640
They thank you, but it was
the postal service that was so fast.
367
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,720
In effect,
the mail carriers were my couriers.
368
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,240
In January 2014,
so basically in the first month,
369
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,360
I had like ten or 15 thousand euros
in sales, which is still a lot.
370
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040
But over time it grew so much.
371
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,360
You couldn't even imagine it.
372
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,240

You can see
exactly what people searched for.
381
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,760
They searched "buy cocaine"
and were on your website.

00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,760
I simply had everything.

In addition to the street drugs
384
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,240

And, as it is with all of my drug dealers,
397
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520
they live life in the fast lane.

399
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,680

402
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,400

435
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,480

At some point
I started using the spreadsheet.
448
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,760
Of course I could have
just gone to the top row
449
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,760
and deleted January through August.
450
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,200

00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,800

00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,080

456
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,160

June 26, 2014.
460
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,240
I rent an apartment in Leipzig.
461
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,960
Today at about 8:15 a.m.
462
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,600
I left my apartment.
463
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,760
At around 12:50 I came back home
464
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,240
and I found
two A5 envelopes on my mailbox.
465
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Both had "Leipzig Repository"
written on them as the sender.
466
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,920
RETURN TO SENDER
467
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,320
I don't know a Leipzig Repository
on the housing development,
468
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,280
so I took both envelopes with me.
469
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,880
I then called my neighbor and asked him
if he had ordered something on eBay.
470
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,520
He said he hadn't.
471
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,600
He looked at the envelopes and said,
472
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,360
"Let's see what's inside."
473
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,640
When they were opened
474
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,000
we determined it contained
several gray plastic bags.
475
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,840
After that I promptly informed the police
476
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,120
My colleagues found
100 grams of amphetamines,
477
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240
a small amount of cocaine
478
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,000
and some ecstasy pills.
479
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,920
You don't think much about it
when you find one or two,
480
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,640
but we started identifying
more and more such packages
481
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,920
across Germany.
482
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
TOBIRAMA LANDSCAPE GARDENING
483
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,200
Then we realized
that those senders didn't exist.
484
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,480
They were all bogus addresses

488
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,800
Many of them had one thing in common.
489
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,960
They were sent via
the mail dispatch center in Radefeld.
490
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,120
That was more or less the first sign that,
491
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,280
"Mm-hmm, could have
something to do with Leipzig."
492
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,560
You can't avoid packages being returned.
493
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:28,600
Then of course the police
can find out where it was sent from.
494
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:30,360
That doesn't lead to me.
495
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,679
Yes, that's correct.
496
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,320
But there are other characteristics.
497
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,040
Who paid for the postage?
498
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,520
But that didn't help us either
499
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,520
because Mr. Schmidt made sure
to cover his tracks.
500
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:59,040
It proved advantageous
501
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,520
to be relatively well-versed and connected
when it comes to cybercrime.
502
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,120
You needed package pickup stations
503
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,640
to receive deliveries.
504
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,720
You needed a postage account
to buy stamps.
505
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,440
You needed bank accounts
to convert the Bitcoins into cash.
506
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,120
How can I hide my identity?
How can I avoid getting caught?
507
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,400
On the street someone can always see you.
508
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,400
On the Internet it's,
"Am I leaving traces?
509
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,360
and if I am, in what form?"
510
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,600
Is there a big group behind it?
511
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,520
Are there suppliers who procure the drugs?
512
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,920
Are there helpers who send the packages,
and so on and so forth?
513
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,800
The investigations
they initiated were aimless.
514
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,040
I find him evaluating our investigations
pretty shameless
515
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,280
because in the end he fell short.

One guy said, "Great,
524
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,760
first gummy bears, then drugs."
525
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,760
The next one said,
"I just sell the drugs,
526
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,960
and then I get the gummy bears."
527
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,000
Basically it was an idea
528
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,160
to add another positive feature
to customer service.
529
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,160
It's so simple,
but people talked about it.
530
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,760
At first you could order anything.
Then someone ordered 17 grams of MDMA.
531
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,360
That's just nuts
if you have to package it all.
532
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,720
17, you can't even prepare that much,
533
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,960
unless you take ten, five and two maybe.
534
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,840
You've got those ready
You pre-portion things that sell often.
535
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,400
I had to portion out
gram per gram per gram at a time.
536
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,320
One gram here, five grams there.
537
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,440
When you measure portions
one after the other
538
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,200
you develop a feel for it.
539
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,840
In prison I worked in the kitchen.
540
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,720
I had to measure 300 ml of cherry compote
for semolina pudding.
541
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,600
That was really easy for me.
542
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,960
This person,
in a year or just a bit over a year,
543
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,680
actually only lived his life
to commit several crimes each day.
544
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,680
So he woke up every day and said,
"I'm going to continue my crime spree."
545
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,920
It wasn't like
he was just selling one pill that day
546
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,800
or ten grams of marijuana,
547
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,160
instead he decided to sell it
on a grand scale
548
00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,000
and to earn money with it.
549
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,640
Didn't you ever feel guilty about it?
550
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,600
About what?
551
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:36,840
That you were making people
addicted or sick?
552
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,920
I didn't really feel guilty about
whether it was harming anyone
553
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,960
because for me
the logical argumentation was,
554
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,200
"If not from me, then from someone else."
555
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,160
Yes…
556
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,640
in his case, the direct harm is…
557
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:11,320
If I hit someone
I see their smashed up face
558
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,120
or their black eye, or whatever.
559
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,840
In his case the harm is anonymous.
560
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:22,000
And that's why his way of reflecting on it
is perhaps different.

SHINY-FLAKES XTC - GREEN CHUPA CHUPS
100 MG - SHINY FLAKES EXCLUSIVE

REGULAR PRICE (EUR) 4.00
PUBLISH
563
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,960
The reason I had such cheap prices
564
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,160
was that I purchased
very large quantities from my suppliers.
565
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:06,440
And then, over time, I also got
the best suppliers into the fold.

ANY FEEDBACK
ON THE SHINYFLAKES EXCLUSIVES?
570
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,880
GREEN CHUPA CHUPS ARE A GREAT AS USUAL
571
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,720
I was in contact with Dutchmasters,
for example.
572
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,440
When they brought out a new pill,
573
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,880
in their first batch they would press
maybe one to two million pills.
574
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,360
I would order 100,000, 150,000 right away.
575
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,720
Is it even possible
for a young man of 19, 20 years old
576
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,920
to run such an operation alone?
577
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,440
We had considerable doubts to the end
578
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,680
because the effort that was put into it,
579
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,560
with all the logistics too,
was just too enormous.

I'M THERE IN 15 MIN
585
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,680
The courier couldn't know
he was basically delivering it to my door.
586
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,440
I said, "Hey, send your guy there,
587
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,600
then they'll meet."
588
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,760
I spoke in the third person.
589
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,120
I can't say, "I'll come there."
That sounds very unprofessional.
590
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,960
And if, say, some 200 kilos arrive at once
like that one time,
591
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,160
you have to go up
to the fourth floor a few times.
592
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:45,920
We didn't have an elevator.
593
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,920
DON'T DELIVER PACKAGE TO CHILDREN!
594
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,240
No, I wasn't worried
that anyone would steal it.
595
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,800
Even if someone did, they wouldn't say,
596
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,960
"Hey, Police, I found drugs."
597
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:06,760
At least that's my guess.
598
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,640
He led his own life in that apartment.
599
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:16,320
And his mother knew nothing about her son.
600
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,600
She didn't know when he got up.
She didn't know…
601
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,240
She knew that he cooked.
602
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,880
The only thing she did for him
was the laundry.
603
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,760
However,
he then folded it in the laundry basket
604
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,040
and took it into his room.
605
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,040
And it's true
that his mother actually did not enter
606
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,440
her son's room for over a year.
607
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,000
The investigations showed that he,
608
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,680
independently
from his millions in revenue,
609
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,560
actually returned
the family's empty bottles.
610
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,760
And,
611
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,400
as it turned out,
612
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,880
he got to keep
the deposit he got for himself
613
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,960
as a way to supplement his allowance.
614
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,360
Mr. Schmidt was reluctant
to speak about his family
615
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,440
and about his nearest relatives.
616
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,320
Perhaps because he wants to be seen
as an individual
617
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,680
and not as part of a family,
618
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,200
not as part of a collective.
619
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,440
Because if he did that
then that collective
620
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,960
would have to put up
with the uncomfortable question
621
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,360
"Why did you turn out the way you did?"
622
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,360
I think he really is ashamed of that.
623
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,840
It's a peculiarity
of this case that someone
624
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,240
who wasn't really a criminal before,
625
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,360
or rather wasn't a criminal at all,
626
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,320
was able to use the internet
627
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,840
to in a very short time
make himself capable
628
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,240
of committing crimes on this scale.
629
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:02,600
A psychologist would ask you
exactly that very question.
630
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,800
When did you take that step and say,
631
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,040
"Hey, being a criminal is okay."
632
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,000
But that question,
633
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,920
at least for me as a 14, 15, 16-year-old,
didn't arise in that form.
634
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,080
It isn't comparable to saying,
"Hey, I'll rob a bank!"
635
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,160
You feel your way into it slowly.

it's certainly different

being among people who think the same.

who wanted to cause a lot of trouble.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
646
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,040
HOW DO I STEAL PASSWORDS?
647
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,800
CHECK OUIT THIS TOOL…
648
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,160
You felt drawn into the situation,
649
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:14,720
as if you were in another world.
650
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,360
Planting keyloggers or Trojans
on random people's computers
651
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,000
were the first steps.
652
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,400
"Ha, I did it!" And now I can watch
through his webcam or something.
653
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,360
Just a dumb example.
654
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,440
Usually you'd get your hands on
some kind of login data.
655
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,960
Then you had some fun logging in
656
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,120
and deleting his profile or something,
trolling around.
657
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,600
Or you go into his eBay account
658
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,800
and put something in it for fun.
659
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,040
When you're 14, 15
you do that kind of stuff, maybe.
660
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,880
There are people like that.
Maybe I was one of them.
661
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,680
Actually, there was no point to it.
662
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,640
But you just went and did it.
663
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:58,560
I mean, you didn't aim
to empty his bank account as a first step.
664
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,080
Maybe you develop that idea later
665
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,120
when your interest turns to,
"Hey, I can make money this way."
666
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,800
This is basically his application.
667
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,120
résumé…
668
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,200
Yeah, his cover letter.
669
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,600
"Hardworking, punctual, conscientious."
670
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,640
RÉSUMÉ
671
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,080
I left school and I thought,
"I have to do something."
672
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,000
And then I started working as a waiter
673
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,600
because I knew I'd get a job right away.
674
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,720
I kind of had fun being a waiter,
because you're close to people.
675
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,520
People always said to me,
"That's not your thing."
676
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,960
But it was so distanced
677
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,080
because of the service procedure.
678
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,600
Okay, a guest is coming. "Hello."
Be friendly, yada, yada.
679
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,360
Seat them, do this, do that.
It's actually a simple job.
680
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,960
He accepted authority.

MAURO BARTOLINI
OWNER DON CAMILLO & PEPPONE
682
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,880
But only from people
where he knew full well,
683
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,800
"They know and can do more than me."
684
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,600
Otherwise he never accepted authority.
685
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,560
Everything that was done often,
for everyone,
686
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,960
things that were done at a relaxed tempo,
687
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,200
were boring, they weren't his thing.
688
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,800
He always wanted to move quickly,
689
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,520
to make quick progress.
690
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,680
He wanted to be first.
He was meticulous.
691
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,400
That's why his colleagues
who weren't perfect bothered him.
692
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,640
He said we need perfection here
693
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:47,120
and we need it from the whole team.
694
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,560
He was unforgiving.

SILVIA BARTOLINI

696
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,480
If someone didn't work
like Max pictured it.
697
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,160
I didn't have to do a thing.
Max took care of it.
698
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:56,720
He said,
699
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,680
"Fix it. Do it better."
700
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,920
That is a classic example of hubris.
701
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,480
We said, "What do you do in the evenings?
Do you go out, go to the club?
702
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,080
What do you do at home?"
703
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,040
He said, "I sit at my laptop
704
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,760
and I do stuff."
705
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,720
Yeah? But, of course,
he didn't say exactly what he was doing.

My profile picture on Crimenetwork was
Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator.
710
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,680
He's cool. I mean, the way he looks.
711
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,600
No idea about what he does in North Korea.
712
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,840
There are various levels on Crimenetwork.
713
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,200
There's newly registered users,
then the first and second levels.
714
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,800
And you have the moderators,
715
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,120
the administrators who run the board.
716
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,680
And then there's also an elite level.
717
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,320
MODERATOR, TRIAL-MOD, ELITE…
718
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,480
I was practically a category unto myself.
719
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,160
MAX
720
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,640
How did you achieve that status?
721
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,600
Hard to say,
because that involves earlier things.
722
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,720
What is said to have happened before
isn't relevant to me.
723
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,760
This is about drugs,
and it'll stay that way.

727
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:09,400
It was a refuge for him.
He was somebody there.
728
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,120
He had an importance there.
729
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,440
People talked about him there.
730
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,560
They considered him to be a big stud.
731
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,000
All of that flattered him.
He liked all of that.
732
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:26,080
It was his world, where he got
the recognition he seemed to be missing.
733
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,560
-Would you have liked him to stay on?
-Of course.
734
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,800
I did it for about a year and a half.
735
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,960
Then there was this instance
736
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,560
where the boss herself
gave us our assignments.
737
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,800
I was already in a bad mood that day.
738
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,440
She came up to me and said,
739
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,560
"Mr. Schmidt, if you don't want to work
you can go home."
740
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,920
Right. "Okay, then I'll go." And I left.
741
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,400
Because at that moment
I didn't exactly need the money.
742
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,120
And, because I was so young,
743
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,160
the thing that brings us here today
happened very quickly.
744
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,800
Max will open
his own wonderful restaurant one day.
745
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,600
Or he'll open a really nice chic bar.
746
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,160
Max was born,
747
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,080
almost from the moment he came in here,
to be a boss.
748
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,200
That should be his goal.
That's what we thought, yes.
749
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,520
But he did get his own store.
750
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:20,960
Yes.
751
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,960
We had various approaches
to the investigation.
752
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,920
In Baden-Württemberg
753
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,240
a similar package was found.
754
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,840
The measures
our colleagues there carried out
755
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,520
indicated the recipient of this package
756
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,600
browsed a particular site very frequently.
757
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,200
…THAT THE ACCUSED OFTEN VISITED THE SITE
WWW.SHINY-FLAKES.CC:
758
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:24,200
Then we knew about
the existence of the page.
759
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,240
We were shocked.
760
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,960
Someone was
very brazenly dealing narcotics
761
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,360
on the freely accessible Internet.
762
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:33,800
PRINT
763
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:41,320
You look through the site
from start to finish.
764
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,760
We didn't actually plan on it,
but it is standard for an online shop,
765
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:51,080
even legally required
to have company information listed.
766
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,400
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
TIME TO PARTY!
767
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,240
COMPANY INFORMATION OR SIMILAR NOTICES…
HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND YET.
768
00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:59,440
HOW CAN I GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU?
769
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,160
Where is this shop registered?
770
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:04,400
Where is the shop's domain registered?
771
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,520
Always with the aim
of finding the beginning of the thread.
772
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,280
We figured out where the server was.
773
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:14,920
SAXONY BCI
GERMANY
774
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,760
SERVER
NETHERLANDS
775
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:23,720
It was all linked upstream
to an encryption provider in the USA.
776
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,840
CLOUDFLARE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
777
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,800
The provider Cloudflare
was primarily there
778
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,840
so if the website is attacked
by competitors or other people
779
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,520
the website stays online.
780
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,920
It only shows incompetence to claim
it was used for concealment,
781
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,400
although it had a technical purpose.
782
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,480
We enquired there.
783
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,440
He stated that he would inform
the person in question
784
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,280
about the police's activities accordingly.
785
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,840
…NOTIFY USERS OF REQUEST FOR THEIR
INFORMATION PRIOR TO DISCLOSURE…
786
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,600
We didn't want that.
787
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,280
PRINT
788
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,560
INVESTIGATIONS INTO THIS ARE FUTILE.
789
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:11,000
The investigating authorities
reached their limits.
790
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,720
A letter comes from California asking,
"Who are you? Leipzig DA's office?"
791
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,080
"We're not interested at all."
792
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,800
Whether you were
a police officer or a hacker or whatever,
793
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,720
if you had something against it
794
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,640
you couldn't do anything, the site worked.
795
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,480
I had to, and I'll admit this, laugh.
796
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,960
Because that is quite the coup.
797
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,880
Not everyone can manage that.
798
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,480
Well, you do feel powerless.
799
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,560
And you have to realize
800
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:46,280
that the firepower of perpetrators
and of law enforcement isn't equal.
801
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:51,080
The reason is simply
because we lack legal options,
802
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,800
and because the perpetrators
have superior options.
803
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:59,600
And yet we always had more leads
that we could continue to follow.
804
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:44,920
Around the end of December 2014
it got to be a bit too much for me.
805
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,320
Small things,
806
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,040
any kind of server problems
807
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,480
or problems sending emails,
808
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,040
the device
for sealing aluminum bags breaking,
809
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,360
lost packages that you worried about,
810
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,720
all those things
threw me out of my rhythm.
811
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:22,040
And due to that a backlog
slowly but surely started to build up.
812
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,480
It led to me
813
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:35,680
making these gigantic helpings
of pasta with meat sauce,
814
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,040
and then to me just…
815
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,360
eating at six in the morning
or at four in the afternoon.
816
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,800
When you no longer have a set daily rhythm
817
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,560
and are just packaging up
cocaine from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
818
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,240
then it's neither healthy nor effective.
819
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,920
Sometimes, and he said it credibly,
820
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,000
he slept only three or four hours
to keep up with his packaging.
821
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:09,280
Whether he still thought it was a game
is something I couldn't say.
822
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:30,800
WHERE IS MY SHIT?
823
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:31,880
WHERE'S MY ORDER, YOU…
824
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:33,720
THIRD COMPLAINT - GOODS STILL NOT HERE

FAQ (ENGLISH)
830
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,160
BE PATIENT
831
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,520
EVERY OTHER REQUEST WILL BE IGNORED
832
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,920
At the end I had maybe 15,000 orders
833
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,200
and 150 orders a day
834
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,600
and at the peak
100,000 euros in sales on one day.
835
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,600
Who knows where it could've led?
836
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,840
But in the end I was still alone.
837
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,680
What I had to do was just too much.
838
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,560
I didn't question whether it made sense.
839
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,600
There were no doubts.
There was no room for that.
840
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,280
I really didn't think about it
at that time,
841
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:09,920
not until I was in prison.
842
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,560
Yeah, it was like being
in a hamster wheel.
843
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:20,200
It just kept going.
No matter how fast you run, or how slowly.
844
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,200
Because I constantly shipped
from different locations,
845
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,520
it's just impossible to trace that.
846
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:19,120
Even if you trace the postmark and can see
which mailbox it was dropped in,
847
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,200
with the 50 or 100 mailboxes
you have in a city like Leipzig
848
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,320
you can go to a different one every day.
849
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,840
Are the police supposed to monitor
every mailbox?
850
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,960

853
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,880
We were able to trace it.
854
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:55,240
It's certainly true
that he was careful about it.
855
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,280
But he also didn't know
that he was being surveilled.
856
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,960
That's the point of surveillance.
857

IMAGE 7 UMP
HOLDING REMOVED PACKAGE IN HANDS
858
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:21,520
During the psychological evaluation
I asked him why he got caught
859
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,320
and his answer was, "It wasn't my fault,
860
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:29,000
it was because someone
didn't do their job properly."
861
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,120
Someone he was associated with.
862
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:37,000
This again shows the attitude
"I can only rely on myself."
863
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,400
But he did in fact need
a couple of contacts.
864
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,200
And that's where he stumbled.
865
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,160
THEY ARRESTED RED BULL AND HIS PEOPLE
866
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:54,600
I ASSUME THEY HAD BEEN WATCHING HIM
FOR A LONG TIME
867
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,880
WHO WERE THE OTHER PEOPLE?
868
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:05,120
WAS THE GUY WHO DROVE ACROSS GERMANY
FOR US ONE OF THEM?
869
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:11,880
AKIHA@JABBIM.CZ IS TYPING…
870
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,320
THE COPS KEPT HIM IN CUSTODY FOR ONE DAY
871
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,360
AND THEN LET HIM GO
872
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:18,840
I DON'T GET THAT.
873
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,800
MAYBE AS BAIT
874
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,080
MAYBE THE COPS WILL LAY OFF NOW
875
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,520
BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY HAVE
THE MAIN SUSPECT IN CUSTODY
876
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,920
MAYBE NOT THOUGH
877
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,160
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
878
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,600
I don't know what mistakes redbull made
879
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,960
to get the police on his tail,
880
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,600
but I do know
881
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,680
that they then found me as a result.
882
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,440
In the files, it said
883
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:50,280
that…
884
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,760
they followed him
to where he dropped off the mail,
885
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,680
and they saw a lot of large,
suspicious packages being sent to Leipzig.
886
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,080
Then they followed up on those
because it was unusual.
887
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,680
and that's how they got
888
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,000
to the package pickup station
that I often used.
889
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,560
There were undercover investigations,
there was surveillance.
890
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,120
There was telephone surveillance.
891
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,920
It was the whole nine yards.
892
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:34,560
TIME OF RECORDING
FEBRUARY 18, 2015 4:57 P.M.
893
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:50,960
On February 26, 2015
I got out of bed relatively late.
894
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,400
I think it was at about ten o'clock
895
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:58,200
because I was busy
until late into the night, with work.
896
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:03,640
And I think at about eleven
or twelve o'clock the courier came.
897
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,040
Up until the end we assumed
898
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,760
that it must have been several people.
899
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,600
That someone could manage it on their own,
900
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,720
that seemed relatively impossible to us.
901
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,000
They assumed
902
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,840
that criminal groups like that
are usually armed.
903
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,240
I think around two o'clock
904
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:19,920
I heard drilling.
905
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,520
And I asked myself, "Who is drilling?
906
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,600
It sounds pretty nearby. Oh, well."
907
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,600
Police!
908
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,560
Police! Don't move!
909
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:37,520
-Don't move!
-Hands in the air!
910
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,120
I didn't feel scared,
911
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,440
what I felt was more disbelief
that it was all happening.
912
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,480
How can this be? How did they find me?
913
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,600
Quiet!
914
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,560
Why would they be here for me?
915
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:13,400
But it was clear pretty quickly
that they were here for me.
916
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:20,960
-Good. Thank you!
-Great.
917
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:22,400
And cut.
918
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:27,600
That was great.
919
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,440
-Yeah, I thought so too.
-You all right?
920
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,040
I'm glad that it went smoothly.
921
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,760
But it was super unsettling,
because it's all so surreal.
922
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:42,000
You wait and you know what's coming.
And it's a bad memory.
923
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,800
-Yeah.
-That's a good word. Bad memory.
924
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,200
-Yes.
-That's good.
925
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
But I can laugh about it now. Great!
926
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,040
I don't know.
On the one hand it's unpleasant.
927
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,960
But on the other hand it's a bit like…
928
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,240
Well, it's a bit like
exposure therapy, I'd say.
929
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:09,040
Each time I hear "police" shouted
it gets a bit more relaxed.
930
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,240
Masked men with machine guns in my room
931
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,960
smacked me across the face
with the machine gun,
932
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,560
threw me on the ground and handcuffed me.
933
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,960
Then they walked over me several times.
934
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,760
Probably because
there was so little space,
935
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,640
but also because
it was probably fun for them.
936
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:38,000
So, yeah, and I just lay there
for what felt like an hour.
937
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:43,479
That's his view of things.
He probably dreamt it up that way.
938
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,760
Some of it will have actually taken place.
939
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:48,040
But guaranteeing
940
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,279
that's just how it happened
would be unusual.
941
01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:54,200
An arrest just isn't something
942
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,080
where you say,
"Lie down and be nice and quiet
943
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,319
and put your hands on your back."
944
01:09:01,399 --> 01:09:03,800
You go in and seize the suspect.
945
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,279

EXHIBIT 59

947
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,840
The dealer, an only 20-year-old man,
948
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:30,359
sold the drugs online.
949
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,880
In addition to marijuana, LSD and hash
950
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,560
he also sold prescription drugs.
951
01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:44,479
Drug dealing 2.0.
This is unparalleled in Germany.
952
01:09:45,319 --> 01:09:48,920
One of the biggest drug seizures
ever made in Germany.

957
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,240
At the time our colleagues reported,
958
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,520
"Yes, there is a whole load
of narcotics in one room."
959
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,200
Of course, we asked,
"What do you mean by 'a whole load?'"
960
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,040
They said it was ten or 20 kilos.
961
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,320
And then it was 100 kilos.
962
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:28,240
And 15 minutes later when my colleagues
asked for a delivery van
963
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:29,600
we knew
964
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:34,440
that it was over 100 kilos of drugs
that we had seized from that room.
965
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,280
Orders worth roughly four million.
966
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:39,800
A tonne.
967
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,520
We're talking about a tonne.
968
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:50,880
I think in Leipzig
969
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,320
a few champagne corks popped that day.
970
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,240
We were proud
of the success of our investigation.
971
01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:11,440
When I was still at home
972
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:16,000
a police officer came to my room
and stood in the doorframe
973
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,560
and just said,
974
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:20,760
"Ten years."
975
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:22,320
And he went away again.
976
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,200
That was the first indicator
977
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,240
of where things were heading.
978
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,440
The judges have read their verdict.
979
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,480
He was sentenced to seven years
in juvenile prison
980
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:50,720
and must restitute three million euros
to the state for drug business revenue.
981
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,480
That is the verdict
of Leipzig State Court.
982
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,000
It is a serious crime, the judge said.
983
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:00,520
Allowances were made for the 20-year-old
for having made a full confession
984
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,600
and because expert witnesses attested to
his emotional immaturity.
985
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,680
That is why he was given
a juvenile sentence.
986
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,080
If there is doubt
about someone's moral maturity,
987
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,840
and in my view that was the case with him,
988
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:14,680
then…
989
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:17,320
it is appropriate
990
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,440
to refrain from sentencing
a person as an adult.
991
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,000
At first I was extremely impressed
992
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,160
when I saw the prison.
993
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:41,200
Then I was overcome with
a feeling of calm and relaxation.
994
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,120
I was able to switch off
995
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,400
for the first time
after months of working nonstop.
996
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:02,160
I don't know where that feeling came from,
but it was good.
997
01:14:05,440 --> 01:14:09,000
I have never gotten
a sense of regret or guilt from him.
998
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:10,920
In general, to me, he seemed
999
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,960
fairly relaxed, and fairly controlled too.
1000
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,400
And he seemed collected.
1001
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,320
Not very emotionally involved.
1002
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:24,440
And there was
this hint of pride in his eyes.
1003
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:28,000
When the news came
at six o'clock on RTL, or wherever else,
1004
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,480
and they said something
about 300 kilos of drugs
1005
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:36,400
and mentioned a Maximilian
who is now in detention in Leipzig
1006
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:38,880
the entire prison flipped out.
1007
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,680
Everyone banged on the bars
and went, "Hey!
1008
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:43,680
He's here!
1009
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:45,720
Who is he?"
1010
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,720
But, basically, they all reveled in it.

THE DRUG BARON'S CUSTOMERS
ARE SHAKING IN THEIR SHOES
1022
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:39,040
An aim of the search wasn't just
to seize the drugs or to find cash
1023
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:44,240
but to find indications about how
we could get into the computer.
1024
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:51,320
Seeing as the perpetrator,
Mr. Schmidt in this case,
1025
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:55,680
tried everything possible to ensure
that we couldn't access the data,
1026
01:15:55,760 --> 01:16:00,240
it really was a banner achievement
of our computer forensics team
1027
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,000
to manage it after all.
1028
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:04,360

to go through my documents

1032

If that's a banner achievement,
then, hurrah!
1033
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,640
It was just dumb luck.

01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:27,400

1035
01:16:27,480 --> 01:16:29,800
Yes, under a pile of trash
1036
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:31,560
a little bit of paper appeared.
1037
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,960
Luckily the investigators noticed it.
1038
01:16:35,440 --> 01:16:41,040
And that piece of paper had
the uncrackable password written on it.
1039
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,200
It was very, very long.
1040
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,480
I didn't answer the question
at the press conference, correct.
1041
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,360
The reason was simply that
1042
01:16:57,440 --> 01:17:00,880
I didn't want to lead
other perpetrators to believe
1043
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,400
that we had no options
and that we're helpless.
1044
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:07,800
Of course, things like carelessness…
1045
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:11,600
I'll say, the human factor, human error,
play into our hands.
1046
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,360
The shop was online
from late December 2013
1047
01:17:20,440 --> 01:17:23,840
until, effectively,
the end of February 2015.
1048
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,840
SUSPICIOUSLY GOOD JOBS
SAXONY POLICE
1049
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:34,040
From that time on the police
had access to the website
1050
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,120
and used it for self-promotion.
1051
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,200
I don't know if that's even legal.
1052
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,280
Maybe I should file a claim.
1053
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,280
DUDE, WHAT AN IDIOT…
1054
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,040
NO ONE KNOWS IF THERE'S EVEN A DATABASE.
I CAN HARLDY IMAGINE IT.
1055
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,000
HOW CAN YOU ORDER DRUGS
WITH YOUR REAL-LIFE ADDRESS??
1056
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,000
I ORDERED THERE BUT DIDN'T PAY.
1057
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,200
I'M IN BAVARIA AND AM SCARED.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO ME?
1058
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,840
ORDERS
1059
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,120
The order list that they found
1060
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:13,960
contained
roughly 13,000 or 14,000 datasets.
1061
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,280
So that's 13,000 or 14,000 shipments.
1062
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:25,280
Of course, it was a great stroke of luck
for the investigators.
1063
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,000
They had specific data.
1064
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,240
They knew the addresses,
they knew the names
1065
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,360
and they knew what they had ordered.
1066
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:35,040
Sure they were happy about it.
They were thrilled.
1067
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,480
At first I didn't realize the extent of it
1068
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,120
because no one told me,
1069
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,600
"Hey, we've initiated
4,000 or so criminal proceedings."
1070
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:53,760
Instead, at some point,
1071
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,920
summons started arriving saying,
"You are summoned as a witness."
1072
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:02,760
Even before my own trial was over
I was summoned as a witness.
1073
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,320
For every court date he was taken to
1074
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,480
there is an extra form
that has to be filled out.
1075
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,440
This is the sixth volume.
1076
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:16,120
You can see how much paper
he created while in prison.
1077
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,840
JUNE 2019
1078
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:25,520
WITNESS APPOINTMENT FOR CUSTOMER TRIAL
1079
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,800
-Hola.
-You have an appointment?
1080
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,440
-Yep.
-Good.
1081
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:45,200
Hello, Mr. Schmidt.
Unfortunately the hearing is over.
1082
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,480
He gave a full confession,
1083
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,880
so we no longer need your testimony.
1084
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:52,960
-Great.
-That was not foreseeable.
1085
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,400
Yeah, like always.
1086
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,240
-You've travelled a long way.
-Yo.
1087
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,400
-But you'll receive compensation.
-Great.
1088
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:02,520
If you give me the summons I can sign it.
1089
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,840
I'll need to have that printed out.
1090
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,440
-You don't have it with you?
-No, I lost it.
1091
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,760
-Okay, we can do that.
-Great.
1092
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,480
-Okay, where is it?
-You are here now.
1093
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,800
-Up ahead and then take a right.
-Who do I see?
1094
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:17,880
You have to sign in downstairs.
1095
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:21,280
Great!
1096
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,440
I don't understand a word.
1097
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,640
You were summoned
as a witness for a hearing?
1098
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:31,760
Yes.
1099
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:37,080
-And where is the summons?
-Lost, so I need a new compensation form.
1100
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:38,840
Who told you that?
1101
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,720
The guy at the entrance
over by the district court.
1102
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:42,760
The guy?
1103
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,480
I don't know his name.
1104
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:49,200
-Some guy in a uniform.
-You have to have the form printed out.
1105
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,360
But by the proper department.
1106
01:20:51,440 --> 01:20:55,760
You can't print it here? I have to run
around because you're badly organized.
1107
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,280
That's the support department.
We can't do it!
1108
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:00,000
Right.
1109
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,640
How annoying. This stuff makes you sick.
1110
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:14,280
Was that maybe a crime instrument?
1111
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,280
I've been called as a witness
in hundreds of proceedings.
1112
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,400
In the end the result was
that I was always travelling.
1113
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,280
I couldn't receive visitors,
1114
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,160
couldn't do my laundry.
1115
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:33,440
I couldn't receive any letters
since I was away from my facility.
1116
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,240
Completely isolated.
1117
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,040
I'm tearing up.
1118
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:42,600
No sympathy?
1119
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:43,600
Nope.
1120
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:46,960
One day you'll know why.
1121
01:21:57,480 --> 01:22:00,800
I saw a TV crew.
I checked what he looks like on Google.
1122
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,360
Then I saw that the face matches.
1123
01:22:03,440 --> 01:22:05,680
I knew he was coming here
due to me anyway.
1124
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,560
You can't cancel that quickly.
1125
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,080
Yeah, I admitted it, that's why.
1126
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,200
It only took half an hour.
1127
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:14,680
And what did you get?
1128
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,320
Three years of probation.
1129
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:18,080
A 1,000 euro fine.
1130
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,320
-Not bad.
-It was all right.
1131
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:24,360
Did they say it was so long ago
and you haven't been in trouble again?
1132
01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:26,240
-Nice guy.
-That's right.
1133
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,800
-Not a troublemaker.
-Well, they couldn't prove I was selling.
1134
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:31,840
More of a buyers' cooperative.
1135
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,080
How much was the hearing about?
1136
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:35,840
Four kilos of speed,
1137
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,600
100 grams of MDMA, cocaine, yeah.
1138
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:42,520
-Then you got off easy.
-Yes, I got off very easy.
1139
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:45,200
Yeah.
1140
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:52,360
A buyers' cooperative.
1141
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:57,240
That's why… It was for personal use.
That's what they said.
1142
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,160
-Very good.
-Really lucky, yeah.
1143
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:04,960
You're on day release now?
1144
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:05,880
Yeah.
1145
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:07,840
-I get out next month.
-Okay.
1146
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,440
So it was worth it, right?
1147
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:10,800
I think so.
1148
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,280
Did they find all the Bitcoins?
1149
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,320
I don't know. They say there's more.
1150
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:21,160
I say there isn't.
1151
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,960
It's kind of a standoff.
No one really knows what…
1152
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,800
-Okay.
-…really knows what…
1153
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,600
-I have to get off. All the best.
-Take care.
1154
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:32,360
Don't cause trouble.
1155
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,200
Bye-bye!
1156
01:23:42,440 --> 01:23:44,560
That was one of the questions.
1157
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:48,760
It remained throughout the investigation
and the main trial
1158
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,160
as well as in the aftermath.
1159
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:52,880
Where did all the money go?
1160
01:23:55,760 --> 01:24:00,640
INCOME SHINY_FLAKES
INCOME FROM 12 WALLETS
1161
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:06,720
15188.03 BTC / €4,169,191.41!!!
1162
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,920
The revenue from the opened wallets
amounted to 350,000 euros.
1163
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:13,920
In the end, yes.
1164
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,400
We admit we couldn't open two wallets.
1165
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:18,160
What's inside?
1166
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:19,720
We don't know.
1167
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,360
That many people can't imagine
1168
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:26,320
that money having vanished
somehow or other
1169
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,400
and believe it was hidden somewhere
1170
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:32,640
is very understandable.
1171
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,200
They form an opinion and say,
"Of course there's money in there."
1172
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,080
No one can prove it, no one can trace it.
1173
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:51,920
If I had access I could say,
"Here, look, there's nothing in it."
1174
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,080
If I had access and there was money in it,
I'd hardly show it.
1175
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,480
Max isn't rich, no. I don't believe that.
1176
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,000
What stops you from saying,
1177
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,920
"I don't have one cent of it."
1178
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:23,720
Yes, one could say that.
1179
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:27,800
-It's not a lie?
-One could say that.
1180
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:35,840
One can say that.
1181
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,120
But we only go public with the truth.
1182
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:46,320
Yeah.
1183
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,280
So? Is there still money in it?
1184
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,120
Well, there's not a cent in that wallet.
1185
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,360
I know that much.
1186
01:25:53,440 --> 01:25:55,200
Do you still have any of that money?
1187
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:56,480
I don't think so. No.
1188
01:25:59,920 --> 01:26:03,240
That business got me
experience and wasted time.
1189
01:26:04,440 --> 01:26:05,280
Not a cent?
1190
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:06,640
Not a cent.
1191
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,880
We'll see what the future brings.
1192
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:15,600
What does that mean?
1193
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,280
We're watching to see
if he commits further crimes.
1194
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,760
He's outside on parole.
1195
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,760
If there is cause…
1196
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,480
But, for example,
1197
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:32,320
if he uses his knowledge and
the monetary means he certainly still has
1198
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,240
to commit further crimes.
1199
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,560
Do you have concrete suspicions?
1200
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,240
I won't comment on that.
1201
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,000
So yes.
1202
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,240
JUNE 2020
1203
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,840
ONE YEAR OF FREEDOM
1204
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:19,480
Since my arrest I was in prison
for four years and seven months.
1205
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,040
They have procedures to decide
1206
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:27,520
if your conduct has been good,
if resocialization prospects are good.
1207
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:32,800
Then an evaluator says, "Okay, things seem
to be moving in the right direction.
1208
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,240
We'll give him
a chance to get out earlier."
1209
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:40,200
Do you have plans?
1210
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,040
I'm working at a car lot right now.
1211
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:46,160
Is that true?
1212
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:47,240
Yes.
1213
01:27:51,440 --> 01:27:52,720
What do you do there?
1214
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,200
These are detailed questions.
1215
01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,400
Car stuff.
1216
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:04,920
Yeah, well,
1217
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:06,960
office stuff.
1218
01:28:07,440 --> 01:28:08,840
At the car lot.
1219
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:41,720
We're going to go to the Reichstag.
1220
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:46,680
Cheers!
1221
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:48,520
Cheers.
1222
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:50,640
It worked well.
1223
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,360
Max swiped me left at first.
1224
01:28:54,440 --> 01:28:58,000
-Then he thought, "She's pretty cute."
-I could rewind.
1225
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:00,600
I could decide,
"Shit, I do want her after all."
1226
01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:04,160
I was like, "Ah!
1227
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:05,920
"Gone. Actually, not."
1228
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:08,880
We had an ice cream
1229
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:12,320
and then we went to a stationery store
1230
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:15,960
because my girlfriend needed stamps
for an important letter.
1231
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:19,520
Then I showed off my postage knowledge
1232
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,680
and said, "That little stamp isn't enough
for that large format envelope."
1233
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,320
That's right!
I thought about that afterwards.
1234
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:31,040
Like, "He sure knows a lot about this."
Oh, yeah.
1235
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:35,280
How can it be that he didn't say a word
about it the entire time?
1236
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,320
You don't have to come on
like gangbusters.
1237
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,320
It'll come out sooner or later.
1238
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,840
It definitely comes up
in every conversation.
1239
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,760
Who Max is, what he's been through.
1240
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:49,320
It always goes over well.
1241
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,960
So, Max,
thanks for having a very good story.
1242
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:54,640
-Sure thing. It was my pleasure.
-Yeah.
1243
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,000
Do you have a story you tell people
when they ask what you do?
1244
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:00,560
Or do you just say…
1245
01:30:01,480 --> 01:30:04,240
Yeah, sure, I work at a car lot, so…
1246
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:05,840
Really? Is that your story?
1247
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:07,200
-Yeah.
-Okay.
1248
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:09,920
Okay.
1249
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,440
-He hems and haws a lot.
-Yes.
1250
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:18,600
And he doesn't want to say much,
and that's okay.
1251
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:21,280
I don't keep on prying.
1252
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,760
He doesn't have to talk
if he doesn't want to.
1253
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:25,800
How important is it for you
to have friends?
1254
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:28,400
Oh, kind of important.
1255
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:33,560
Wow!
1256
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,240
Dude, I could answer that for you better.
1257
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:42,120
An assist.
1258
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:46,160
Right off Max always asks,
"Do you want more to drink? An ice cream?
1259
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,520
I'll get it for you.
What do you want to eat? We'll cook."
1260
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:51,840
Yeah, it's really nice. Yeah.
1261
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:54,680
We have to teach Max to ride a bike.
1262
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:56,680
That's on our to-do list this summer.
1263
01:30:56,760 --> 01:31:00,120
I mean,
sometimes you save things for later.
1264
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:04,040
And so this year
I'll learn how to ride a bike.
1265
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:06,920
I never had a bike. That's why.
1266
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:11,040
Do you worry
that something else could happen?
1267
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:13,160
No.
1268
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,000
I mean, he's a sweetheart.
1269
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,280
I don't think anything will happen.
1270
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:20,600
He'll stay with me.
1271
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:28,880
His mother would probably say that too,
that he's the sweetest guy on earth.
1272
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,680
I consider him to be someone
1273
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:35,920
who'll very carefully weigh up
which risks he'll take going forward.
1274
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,720
In my estimation
1275
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,120
he won't commit a second offense.
1276
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,760
The next question is speculative
at this point.
1277
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,520
Does he even need to engage in
criminal activity again?
1278
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:24,600
DRUG RAID IN LEIPZIG:
COCAINE AND CASH SEIZED
1279
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:25,680
August 26, 2020.
1280
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:31,280
In a drug raid, police in Leipzig seized
narcotics and a large sum of cash.
1281
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:35,680
Four men and one woman
are suspected of drug trafficking,
1282
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:39,000
the suspects are
between 22 to 41 years old.
1283
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,680
Authorities say
investigations are ongoing.
1284
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:45,360
The focus is currently on
examining and evaluating the evidence
1285
01:32:45,440 --> 01:32:48,520
such as seized computer technology.
1286
01:32:52,440 --> 01:32:54,960
MARCH 2021
1287
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:09,800
Hello.
1288
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:12,200
I have news.
1289
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:16,400
The news is that today I can inform you
1290
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:18,960
that Mr. S
1291
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:21,760
is under investigation.
1292
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,560
He, along with others,
1293
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:31,120
once again began operating an online shop
through which illegal drugs were sold.
1294
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:33,680
The page had a different name,
1295
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:38,560
but the overall approach taken
and the way it is set up is similar
1296
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:40,800
to Shiny-Flakes.
1297
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:52,680
Mr. Schmidt knows he is being investigated
1298
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:54,840
and that he is a suspect.
1299
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:59,040
I think the evidence against him is good.
1300
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:04,040
And I anticipate that the prosecution
will issue an indictment.
1301
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:07,920
Yes.
1302
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:19,800
You don't want to talk about it at all?
1303
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:20,840
No.
1304
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:22,120
Why not?
1305
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:23,880
That has nothing to do with it.
1306
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:11,560
THE PROSECUTION HAS YET TO CONCLUDE
ITS INVESTIGATION INTO MAXIMILIAN SCHMIDT.
1307
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:16,200
IF INDICTED, INNOCENCE IS PRESUMED
UNTIL THE CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL.
1308
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,720
