I just read Melvin Anthony was sentenced to 10 years in jail. What happened? He's not that old. He was a top 5 finisher at the Olympia at one point I believe? How does this happen? Very sad.

Money and also there is some type of allure, glamour that some see in dealing... I have no idea what the hell it is... I've known lots of dealers and they didn't know eachother, but I knew them individually... None of them needed to do that, one of them was son of a multi-millionaire businessman in NYC, he donated 25 million to down syndrome, was on the cover of Time magazine, yet there he was in Miami dealing in recs like X and painkillers...
I guess he did to "to be cool", since he hung out with all the celebs and strippers at Solid gold and Pure Platinum, they did treat all of us like royalty, he was also a bodybuilder, not competitive, but a big dude...
He ended up doing three years for selling counterfeit gh and a few other things, like a precursor to ghb... I knew all those guys back in 1997 (including one guy I heard they made a stupid B movie out of, haha)...
Good thing I left and knew I didn't want to be involved with that shit and went back to finish school...
But last I heard, about 6 months ago, when I looked him up, he owns a big supplement company, and I mean big, they are in Walmart...
No, I won't say who it is, but I googled his name and there he was, sponsoring a pro show representing his company... But still I never knew wtf they were doing that for back in the day, his friends who were dealing also came from rich families...
The others I knew involved in that shit, grew up poor on the south side of Chicago and wanted out of the ghetto and so they got involved, they're in jail now, doing 15-30 years...
But these other guys, I don't know wtf they were thinking... It's an addictive life style, not just using, but the whole scene can be...
