Immanuel reportedly procured drugs from multiple sources, including the dark web, using the Tor browser. “Payments were made through Binance and Trust Wallet by converting money into cryptocurrency. The drugs were delivered to Immanuel through courier services by absconding suppliers,” an H-NEW official said.
