webfact 144419 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Pattaya: Police arrest US man after growth hormone sting Picture: Naew Na Police and Health department officials in Pattaya conducted a sting on a 66 year old American man living at the resort. They arranged to buy ten packets of the human growth hormone ANSOMONE for 75,000 baht. The Chinese made drug is used to help burn fat and is used by body builders. Jerry N. was arrested at a bakery on Thappraya Road yesterday evening and taken to his residence in Soi Kasetsin where a search warrant was served. Nothing illegal was found but bank books, financial documents and many car and motorcycle registration documents were taken into evidence. The investigation followed on from the imprisonment of a man called Joshua P. in Chiang Mai in February. Picture: Naew Na He was sentenced to more than 10 years (reduced to half on admission) for producing illegal drugs under the ATLAS brand. Naew Na said that the US man in Pattaya had turned to Hong Kong for supplies of human growth hormone for his customers after the arrest and imprisonment of Joshua. He shipped in the drugs and also ran a vehicle rental business. All his operations are now under investigation. The media alleged he was the "head of a human growth hormone gang" in their headline.

robblok 50629 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Growth hormone gang.. wow.. I still can get this in Thailand without too much trouble. Still its illegal but I don't really see the problem. Growth hormone is an mild drug to say the least overpriced for what it does. Though it does help skin and sleeping. Muscle building and fat burning not so much (or at least not compared to steroids) Calling this a growth hormone gang is a bit crazy.. I mean one guy reselling some growth hormone. is hardly a again.

Yes and the stuff is not really that effective or damaging for what one pays for it. I have used it a few times. The only thing I did like about it was the effect on my sleep and skin. But quite expensive for that. I can't say i noticed much of its fat burning or muscle building properties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is illegal, so why not call it so. Some growth hormone? 75K isn't really minor. People always down play things when it is something they are familiar with.

Its that expensive. I am downplaying it as i can get it everywhere I even ordered it from China before to test (after testing a few different sources i decided it was not worth the money). I rather have someone injecting growth hormone then drinking alcohol and getting nasty. The growth hormone does not bother anyone and any damage is self inflicted. My point is also why call this a gang when all the guy did was resell some of this stuff. Anyway it is illegal your right about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orac 4208 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I am confused. If nothing illegal was found then what are they pointing at in the fridge in the photo and what is the stuff on the table in front of him in the police station unless they are taking gratuitous pointing to a whole new level.

Doesn't matter if it doesn't do damage. Personally I think they should decriminalize a lot of things and let people choose themselves what they do with their body or mind.

But there was no pointing in this picture. I sometimes wonder how they gat such a group. "Hey gang, we've got a photo shoot at 1:00, all welcome".

So perhaps it isn't illegal to own and utilise. Maybe the selling without a licence or work permit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i buy something from you to resell then you and I are not in a gang. That was the point. I agree about letting people do what they want with their body and mind as long as they pay for the damage themselves. But of course that is an other story.

NoComment 183 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Another brainless idiot. 66 years of age, living in LOS and trying to sell illegal drugs. People do not learn. Everyone, every where knows Thailand and selling illegal drugs just isn't a positive career path. Well done RTP another drug dealer off the streets.
