A 31-year-old Denver man tooled around Denver in his BMW mailing packages of heroin, cocaine and LSD from various U.S. Post Offices to customers across the country who purchased the illicit drugs on the dark web and paid with cryptocurrency including bitcoin, federal court records reveal.

In a six-month sting, U.S. Postal Inspectors and DEA agents tracked Paul Carlos Moseley and bought heroin, LSD and methamphetamine from him with bitcoin.

Moseley, arrested and held without bond in late April, faces a hearing May 18 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak on charges of drug dealing, drug conspiracy and using the internet in a drug facility. He faces more 60 years in prison.

By using bitcoin and the dark web, Moseley and an increasing number of high-tech drug dealers sidestep pitfalls of stowing cash in heavily monitored, federally insured banks, and cuts out middle men including street-level drug dealers.
