From the article:
"Vis Vires Labs took several security precautions intended to outsmart police
Caplinger “hired” at least seven employees to work with the Vis Vires Labs steroid trafficking organization. The employees generally had limited roles. And each role was intended to provide an extra layer of security insulating Caplinger from being caught.
For example, Caplinger paid a guy in North Carolina to receive international shipments of steroid powder from China. The man would take possession of the product and reship it to Caplinger. He hired other employees to set up PayPal and Google Pay accounts to receive customer payments. Other employees were hired to open up multiple post office boxes under fictitious names. At least one employee helped Caplinger launder money through various bank accounts. And of course, there were the reps on the internet forums marketing Vis Vires to bodybuilders.
Caplinger may have thought these precautions made him bulletproof. But he was wrong. Caplinger received a rude awakening on the morning of November 29, 2017. Armed federal agents raided his Edmond home and a commercial office for “Boss Auto Sales”. The gig was up."
"Police didn’t find a lot of steroids at Caplinger’s home. But somehow they discovered a huge stash of cash that was secretly buried in Caplinger’s backyard. The amount of cash added up to approximately $280,000."
