WASHINGTON (WPIX) — U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Tuesday that nearly 300 people selling fake pills and other fentanyl products on the dark net have been busted. 'The drug traffickers are confident that operating anonymously on the dark web, they can operate outside the bounds of law,' Garland said. 'They are wrong.' Garland said the Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement (JCODE) team had been working on various cases since the fall of 2021, ultimately arresting 288 people from Boca Raton, Florida, to Cerritos, California, in a federal operation called Operation SpecTor.
