Paper steroids from Ashley( Redicat)
The Paperbol Enterprise
The story of British Dragon gets intertwined with the story of the first “paper steroid” enterprise. Pattaya Thailand is where the whole “Paperbol” saga started. More specifically, this all began at the Chevin Gym. Upstairs from the gym was a set of apartments. Here lived three key players. One was a man named Sam, another a British expatriate named William, and lastly Alan C (his brother Duncan was the owner). Richard used to train in this gym, and a guy named “old George” used to come and drink coffee there. Ashley wasn’t there at the time. He was selling real estate and worked for Ideal Homes. The group used to gather here in the late nineties, sitting, talking, and thinking of ideas of how to make money.
By 1999, Richard was supplying 3 sources based in Thailand with steroids. The drugs were delivered to the UK, William (sbc/getwood/grapejuice/newshipping), Ashley (anaboldirect/redicat), and AlanC (chevinxxx). Alan lost his leg in a motorbike accident, and was known as one-legged Alan. Then William, who was one of Richards Anabol customers in the UK, came to live in Thailand. In 2000, William decided to stop ordering steroids from Richard, and decided to go into the powder business with the man from the UK known as Old George. They called themselves GetWood. William came up with the idea of ordering kilos of powder from China, and selling 5 gram of powder to customers in the United States at a very cheap price, about $60.
At that time lots of people where already busy creating their own homebrew. They were extracting trenbolone acetate out of “legal” Finaplix veterinary pellets with acetone or solutions they bought on the Internet, like “the magic solution”. Also, complete Fina-kits where for sale that included the syringes, the solutions, the vials, etc. Complete forums where devoted to these kitchen brew techniques. People also tried alternative steroid delivery methods like nasal sprays, and topical organic gels and DMSO. Some of the most desperate youngsters even tried to dissolve their pellets in their anus. Once the “powderman” became known through the Internet, most ordered with him.
Richard and Ashley where concerned they would lose customers, so they asked a new chemist also named Alan (Scouse Alan) if he could find a way to put steroid paper on powder. They knew Scouse Alan had lots of Dutch friends in the smuggling business, and thought someone would know how to do it. Nobody could come up with any ideas, so Richard gave Alan a kilo of methandrostenolone and asked him to experiment. It took him 5 months to come up with a product. It wasn’t perfect at the time, but as time went by he slowly perfected the process. Alan started in April 2000 and came up with a reasonable product in September 2000. So that’s how it was for a few years. Richard bought kilos of methandrostenolone, stanozolol, and oxymetholone powder from China, and sold tubs of 50g a time to Ashely (Redicat) and AlanC (chevinxxx). Ashley and AlanC paid Scouse Alan to mae the product, 2000baht ($50) for each piece of paper he made. They would become the products Paperbol, Paperstrol, and Paperdrol.
In 2001, the police and DEA busted GetWood. William immediately fled the country. Old George wasn’t so lucky, and spent some time in a Thai prison. William reportedly paid one of the most powerful lawyers in Pattaya to pay a Thai man to say that all of the powder belonged to him. This is normal in Thailand. Most lawyers have Thai people who will admit to everything if they are paid enough money. It could be speculated that the real reason for this bust was not the Paper anabolics at all, but the fact that U.S. customs noticed more and more Viagra was smuggled into the USA. And the U.S. protects their taxpayers (Pfizer).
In 2002, William moved away from Old George and started doing business with Richard again. Everything worked fine until the end of 2002 when Richard started to order oxandrolone (Anavar) powder, because there was so much money in it. Alan made sheets of Papervar, and they where selling the uncut papers for $1500 each. Richard's decided that that they where making so much profit from it, that he would only sell the powder to the distributor that offered him the most money. This was Ashley.
A problem for Richard and Ashley was that at the same time, Kenneth Chen started selling powder by the gram, not like at the beginning when you could only order powder by the kg. This meant that AlanC could still manage to get hold of the oxandrolone powder and stay in business. This is when Ashley decided to pay all the moderators and administrators lots of money, free steroids, and expensive gifts like Rolex watches, to say to their members that Asley was the true legitimate Paperroid supplier. AlanC asked Scouse Alan if he would still produce it for him, and he said yes. But it was too late. Ashley had already destroyed the name of Chevinxxx on the forums. AlanC never had anymore orders for the paper.
In February 2003 Alan went on holiday to the UK. When he came back, Richard had asked his Thai son-in-law to find some way of producing it. He did, but his product was never lab tested. This is also when Richard and Mark (Iranian Mark) started the BD website, and had Richard's family making BD gear in the kitchen. Ashley just paid all the admins and mods to say the British Dragon was a legitimate pharmaceuticals factory in Thailand that even produced their own 100% pure steroid powders.
In 2003, Alan and Sam started a business called Paperbolix, their own version of the Paperbol enterprise. Scouse Alan was making the papers. It was him who was responsible for producing the near perfect Papervar sheet that had lab results posted on the Paperbolix website. But the business wasn't very big, and it didn’t last. Alan and Sam went their own separate ways at the end of 2004.
After this, Alan decided to order his own Cialis powder from China, and to sell PaperCialis to foreigner's in Pattaya for $250 a sheet. It was good business, because the foreigners could easily smuggle these sheets into their own country when they went back. He made a lot of money. Now most of the British expatriates do the same as all the other foreigner's in Thailand, export everything, steroids, sleeping tablets, counterfeit football shirts, dvd's, handbags etc. One of them even took a side step into the porn-movie business, but that is another story.
In 2007 the Australian Customs Service officers in Perth proudly announced they intercepted a parcel from the United Kingdom in June, leading them to execute a search warrant on a property at Inglewood."The drugs are advertised on websites, which states paper steroids are an alternative to the tablet form, and ``delivery is virtually guaranteed''.
'' ... with countless envelopes having been posted we can report a 99 per cent success rate through customs to date,'' the site says.
"Furthermore, a good number of those sent have been received in countries usually considered a real challenge to get into, eg: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, to name but a few.''
The Australian Customs Service's Western Australia director Tom Ramsay challenged the website's claims of assured delivery.
"This most recent seizure should indicate this is clearly not the case,'' Mr Ramsay from customs said.
Look at the picture, the relatives that sent the letters with paperroids used a very recognisible handwriting and most probably they also used the same postoffice all the time. The Aussies bought a sample and all they had to do is intercept simular looking letters.
Does that mean paperroids are history...?
off course not..
