DENVER — Undercover agents have also been able to purchase the emerging counterfeit drug"rainbow fentanyl," according to the DEA Rocky Mountain Division.
"There are countless pills, millions and millions of pills available on the street," said Besser."When you have an oversaturated market, that drives the price point down per pill. And it's all about making money. We are talking about greed-driven and profit-driven enterprises that don't care about you, me, our kids or the communities."
Besser said Rocky Mountain agents seized,"hundreds of thousands" of pills. Of those, a specified number have been classified as lethal. "Payment can be done completely anonymously — Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, you name it," he said."Once the funds are sent, the drugs are shipped, they're dropped and they're received.
