Jodoin admitted to the Court that her company, “Tabletmagic,” sold illegal prescription narcotics through the Dark Web marketplace “DreamMarket.”
Dating back to May 4, 2017, the “Tabletmagic” account listed 1,700 transactions and offered prescription narcotics such as OxyContin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, Suboxone, Subutex, Adderall, Ritalin, morphine, Vyvanse, Xanax, and Zolphidem.
According to information presented to the Court, in October 2017, the Postmaster of the Manville, R.I. Post Office alerted USPIS agents that an individual, later identified as Jodoin, was shipping a large number of suspicious “click-n-ship” parcels to individuals around the country.
The Postmaster noted that the name and address on the “click-n-ship” labels were fictitious and that the woman dropping off the packages at the post office was not the same person listed as the sender.
During an investigation by USPIS agents, some of the packages shipped by Jodoin were seized and searched pursuant to a court-authorized search warrant.
The packages were found to contain various controlled substances. In February 2018, agents executed a court-authorized search of Jodoin’s home and, among other items, seized numerous and varied controlled substances, numerous prescription bottles in other people’s names, boxes of invoices of customer orders, an alphabetized card catalog of customers, Bitcoin receipts and ledgers, $70,000 in cash – bundled and labeled, and $1,460 on Jodoin’s person.
