FBI Indicts 22 Chinese Nationals In Massive Drug Bust, Enough Fentanyl To Kill 70 Million Americans

By Anthony

The Trump administration has been cracking down on the illegal drug trade.

On Tuesday, at the direction of President Trump, the U.S. military launched a strike on a Venezuelan drug boat.

Take a look:

Now, on Wednesday, the DOJ has announced it has indicted 22 Chinese nationals, along with three American citizens, in an operation called Box Cutter.

Operation Box Cutter was an operation by the FBI that resulted in the seizure of a massive amount of fentanyl that had the potential to kill 70 million Americans.

Fox News reported more details on the massive drug bust:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is “targeting the fentanyl supply chain at its source,” and a recent operation led to the indictments of 22 Chinese nationals, four China-based chemical companies and three Americans.

“We’re done playing Whack-a-Mole,” FBI Director Kash Patel said during a press conference on Wednesday in Cincinnati, Ohio, adding that no other country besides the U.S. has a “fentanyl crisis.”

Dubbed Operation Box Cutter, it has resulted in the seizure of “enough fentanyl powder to kill 70 million Americans and enough fentanyl pills to kill another 270,000,” Patel said in a statement.

The investigation started in Dayton, Ohio before expanding “all the way to mainland China, where chemical companies were openly marketing and selling dangerous precursor substances used to cut and manufacture fentanyl, cocaine and heroin,” according to a news release.

“Today’s takedown marks the FBI’s first-of-its-kind international operation targeting the fentanyl plague that has killed tens of thousands of Americans, indicting the companies and individuals in mainland China that manufacture the precursors fueling the destruction of our communities,” Patel’s statement said.

“We have indicted Chinese precursor companies and exposed their bank accounts and cryptocurrency pipelines and funding sources that facilitate this deadly trade,” his statement concluded.
