The article says two (seemingly) contradictory 'facts' about these pills (and powder).

First it calls them "counterfeit" ... but then goes on to say the 'scale of the seizures' represents "countless lives saved" and calls them "poison pills".

[DEA Special Agent in Charge David Olesky. “There is no doubt many lives have been saved by keeping these poison pills off the streets of Colorado.”]

So which is it?
Were they actual poisonous deadly fentanyl pills?
Or "counterfeit" pills?

The seller can claim they are fentanyl pills, but can actually contain other substances unbeknownst to the buyers, which can be deadly.
Maybe it was implied that both were one in the same.

Wonder if they were headed to NC and Sc.These states seem to have a problem with drugs and children

Hopefully the people involved are being tracked with whatever tools are available.

That discovery just saved over a million lives in America. Time to investigate and track down the individuals who put it there.

3 grains of salt equivalent of Fentanyl can kill a 200 lb. man, BTW.

we have lots to execute. why dont we use that. quick easy final... and how to you neutralize it..

poor guy looking for things of interest and boom. calls the police. paid money for essentially an empty bpx. no one every opened it up??the storage place?? but what it does do is cause all storage units to be evaluated..

Yep...I can see the investigating of these storage units on the 'to do' list for law enforcement. Bring in the dogs!
