Thread: Axio Labs/ GenXXL owner Brian Wainstein named in connection with Cyprus busts

Axio Labs and GenXXL arrests: “one file that is not finished”

French law enforcement officials were recently quoted as saying that they will not comment fully on the recent busts in Marseilles, because there is “a file that is not finished.” In other words, they’re still chasing someone. I wonder what’s in that file?

In addition, I have personally contacted public relations people (flacks) from both the DEA as well as the FDA, asking for a comment, and haven’t received a call back from either organization. With both the Cyprus media as well as the French media both claiming United States involvement in these busts, it’s incredibly odd that there has been no official statement made by an American agencies.

I think most people familiar with this situation, will be placing heavy odds on this “unfinished file” being none other than the infamous Brian Wainstein, the man behind Axio Labs, GenXXL, and Syntrop, as well as being the front runner for the coveted title of “biggest steroid dealer in the world” – unfortunately, as his business involves a large amount of money laundering (par for the course), we’ll never actually know.
GenXXL and Axio Labs press releases have been going strong throughout this bust, and have continuously been released day after day, so it’s unclear exactly whom the authorities have in custody, and to what extent this will damage the underground lab and its related businesses. However, it should be noted that none of their websites have come back online, and I haven’t heard about anybody receiving any shipments since all of this went down.

Forum reps are sending out PMs and emails to the effect that pre-bust orders will be honored and will be received shortly. If it were me, I would be hesitant to accept a shipment from a busted steroid dealer, especially when their client database is now in the hands of law enforcement officials.

Again, it should be noted that law enforcement’s efforts to dismantle this company have failed numerous times, and with multiple busts and arrests. In fact, even while the owner of the company was in prison, it continued to expand and grow. So while there is no doubt that there have been numerous GenXXL & Axio Labs stooges arrested, it remains unclear whether this “one unfinished file” will amount to anything.

A dozen people were arrested during the week in the Marseilles region, as part of an international investigation into the trafficking of anabolic with branches in Europe and the United States, said on Saturday in a source familiar with the matter.

Three people were indicted and two of them, two men aged 20 and 50, were jailed, the newspaper Provence dated Saturday.

Contacted by AFP, the prosecutor of Marseilles has refused so far to comment on the case, citing “a file that is not finished.”

The international survey covers a network of trafficking of doping substances with branches in ten European countries and the United States, according to the source familiar with the matter.

The traffic was via internet all over France, it was added the same source.

Doping products were manufactured in such a clandestine laboratory in Cyprus before being sold in Europe and the United States with 10,000 customers in France and 200,000 in Europe, according to Provence.

According to the Cypriot daily Cyprus Mail, three men suspected of having manufactured, stored and distributed banned substances, were arrested Dec. 7 in Cyprus. One is a Cypriot taxi driver of 43 years, while the other two are Palestinians.

Large quantities of products that can be used to manufacture anabolic steroids were found in a laboratory located in Nicosia and belonging to the taxi driver, the newspaper said.

According to the Cyprus Mail, two Israelis were also involved. According to the two Palestinians, one Israeli was every two or three weeks in Cyprus to prepare the formula for the manufacture of steroids.

A source close to the case in France, the survey is coordinated by Eurojust, the EU agency responsible for judicial cooperation within the EU.

More Axio Labs & GenXXL busts happening

It is now being reported that French police, working with German authorities, have busted an international steroid ring operating out of Marseille, France. The now-busted steroid dealers were working in connection with branches in Cyprus, Turkey, and China. These recent arrests have come as part of a worldwide operation carried out on December 7th. Clearly this is GenXXL/Axio Labs - and there’s zero room for discussion on the matter, although the article doesn’t mention the lab or company by name.

France was considered “safe” by many GenXXL/Axio customers in the United States, as it is not one of the countries (mailing addresses) we perceive as overly scrutinized by the postal service. It was a perfect country to mail steroids to Canada from, due to the large percentage of French Canadians.

If you happened to listen to Superhuman Radio last Thursday at 10 AM, you would have heard me talk about the rumor that the Axio Labs/ GenXXL busts that we’re seeing are related to money laundering; this was the first time that rumor had been put into the public circulation, but as you can see from the article below, it has now been confirmed.

This is going to spell bad news for many European sources and North American remailers, all of whom used Bank Wire’s to pay for Axio’s products.

PARIS (Reuters) – French police have broken up a Marseille-based international doping ring thought to be the biggest in Europe, the government said on Saturday.

The group sold anabolic steroids over the Internet in Europe and the United States, counting nearly 10,000 customers in France alone, the French Sports Ministry said.

A judicial source said the group had nearly 200,000 clients in Europe for its steroids, which are used for developing muscle bulk.

Three people from the southern French city of Marseille have been put under judicial investigation for their part in the ring, which obtained the drugs from labs in Cyprus, China and Turkey, the source said.

Large sums of money were discovered at the homes of two of the men and investigators believe that the operation was making 1,000 euros (849 pounds) a day in Marseille alone.

An international police sweep was carried out against the ring on December 7 and investigators have also uncovered money laundering operations in Germany and the Netherlands.

But they said the bust wasn't related to them!

it was very close to them....enough that things had to be shut down for a bit.......but it wasn't them......

Too close....they say close only counts in horse shoes and handgrenades....apparently thats wrong.

i dislike that guy

Lol I like how the related google ads that pop up right now are for law enforcement training anD degrees. That's so ironic

not good for all who ever order from genxxl sites.

when they catch a crack dealer they dont go cashing each of his crack head users.... and on top of that they dont know what really going on ...everybodys talkin and no one got proof on who got busted ... things might be fcuked things might not be ... why make an ass out of ourselves by assuming things

crack dealers dont have computer databases with customer names in them like the LE officials claim to have^^^^^
