Ugh, obnoxious click bait title had me wondering how the hell can cocaine be printed. The guy didn't "3D print cocaine," he printed a paper weight and tried to pull an Indiana Jones swap.
- Like a good DEA agent, he did sprinkle a little real coke on the fake coke to frame it tho
- 3D printed cocaine is exactly what AGI will give us. It’s basically the only thing all the accelerationists are after.
- At least the post description here pretty much says that (unless it was edited?).
  Shitty title from shitty news site though.
Real title: DEA Officer made over $420k in 5 years as a drug dealer. Gets 17 years in prison.
In one of the more bizarre schemes, Hickox stole a kilogram of cocaine from an evidence locker and replaced it with a brick he’d made in a 3D printer. He sprinkled the fake brick with real cocaine in an attempt to make it look real. This is the drug-stealing equivalent of a teenager bulking up their bed with stuffed animals in the hope their parents don’t notice they’ve snuck out.
🤣
Protect and serve. 🫡
- Thar is the motto of the NYPD. It is nothing else and cops don't pretend that is their primary function, citizens do.
In court, Hickox said this was a Breaking Bad situation. He’d gotten a cancer diagnosis and that he was worried about leaving money behind for his family after he died.

- Super sad it came to that
You can do that??
- No. Clickbait title.
  First line in the article: "The former Fed stole evidence and replaced it with a brick he made with a computer."
- No(t yet)
