Why bother selling actual fentanyl when you've got a thriving business selling fake homework help? Seems like a lot less overhead to manage.
He'll ive seen legit businesses get burned on the same mindset. More than once. It's just in the legal transaction space, the risk shifts more towards 'delivering a crappy product' than, say, 'your employees get arrested' when you are forced to hit a deliverable.
Left unsaid in the filing was that it seemed like _most_ of the pages on the homework site were in fact scanned from copy written textbooks and then solved and they were trying to SEO rank for _exactly_ the question in the homework.
The high margin profits from the fentanyl are laundered as proceeds from the homework business.
