At one point, Brian McDonald boasted to a co-conspirator that he had just sold 20,000 pills.
Rainbow fentanyl pills and powder comes in a variety of bright colors, shapes and sizes. Brian McDonald, 23, of Van Nuys, entered his plea in downtown Los Angeles to two counts: conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and cocaine, and possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
McDonald recruited and hired others to help with packaging and shipping the narcotics sold on hidden internet marketplaces. He also taught co-conspirators how to package and ship the narcotics, and assisted in the process, according to papers filed in Los Angeles federal court. Later that month, McDonald messaged a co-conspirator that he had just sold 20,000 pills, court papers show.
