A resident of Kane, Pennsylvania, has admitted he tried to purchase methamphetamine on darkweb markets for the purpose of redistribution and reselling.
The man Michael Carter Anderson, 43, from Pennsylvania admitted that he attempted to possess with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine. Four law enforcement agencies (the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the McKean County Detectives, and the McKean County Drug Taskforce) all investigated Anderson.
Anderson was indicted by the feds in September 2020. In November 2020, he entered a plea of not guilty. He changed the plea to guilty on June 29, 2021.

For attempting to purchase more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, Anderson is facing up to 50 years in prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 22, 2021.
There is not a single court document available to the public that contains useful information about the case or why such an insignificant case involved two federal law enforcement agencies.
