The most important things to remember for anyone involved is: You dont need to tell the DEA agents/police anything, and unless they have a warrant DO NOT let them into your house. Im sure many people who have had dealings with these Mexican companies were just good bros trying to get their gear. Most people have the naive connotation that being honest and forthright with law enforcement will keep you out of trouble - not true, especially where a felony is concerned. Hell if you are involved in this fiasco, find a good lawyer now, not if and after you get busted.
If you had anything to do with this, and are questioned by the authorities, say nothing and just keep asking to speak with a lawyer. That's just basic advice though - I havent used illegal gear, and I havent read 'Legal Muscle', but based on what Ive read about the book - I think everyone on this forum should read it. Its good to know what your rights are and how to react if you find yourself in a bad situation. On one hand, I feel bad for cops because there are so many laws in this country that it makes it harder for them to find the real criminals. On the other, there are so many bullshit laws in this country that it turns ordinary guys like you and me into real criminals in the eyes of the court. And the court, prosecution attourney, and arresting officers could give two shits about how your whole life is about to be destroyed - to them all you are is a statistic.
Remember:
Anything you say can AND WILL be used against you in a court of law.
