Online Drug Dealer Indicted and Sentenced
November 26, 2006
Christopher Smith’s neighbors didn’t know exactly what he did for a living. But they knew well that he liked to collect expensive cars and set off fireworks at all hours.
At an age when most of his peers could barely afford a new car, Smith was amassing a collection that would include BMWs, Hummers, a Ferrari, a Jaguar and a Lamborghini. And when other 20-somethings were trying to save for down payments on modest starter homes, Smith paid $1.1 million for a house in a more affluent suburb.
A federal judge shut down Xpress Pharmacy Direct in May and appointed a receiver to take control of the business’ assets. Federal authorities seized $1.8 million in luxury cars, two homes and $1.3 million in cash held by Smith and associates.
