Jianhua Zhao, a 25-year-old Chinese national residing in Brooklyn, was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine nationwide via the dark web. Zhao packaged and shipped drugs from his home to buyers across the U.S., part of a larger operation that included his co-defendant Bao Xu, who was sentenced to over 10 years in June. The operation reportedly conducted over 260 drug deals monthly, generating approximately $55,000 in sales before being dismantled by federal authorities. The investigation involved multiple agencies, including the DEA and FBI, and resulted in the seizure of over $2 million in virtual currency. Zhao's sentence is part of a broader federal crackdown on dark web drug sales, which has intensified in recent months.
