Zero empathy from me with these types of guys - I find this guy more calculating and dangerous then the average drug dealer - I suspect very rarely do they catch the 'chemist' making the drugs.
As for tracking him its quite simply via the hits to a particular website or a bogus website created to flush out prospective 'drug lab rats' - I've read that the FBI even has bogus sites that deals with terrorists (bomb making etc) to flush out 'nutters' !

Wow, a prison rape joke. Original, compassionate, and intelligent, all in one joke. Yay.

What an idiot - Sacrificing a career and all that education.

These types of individuals are social terrorists. I hope he has the most unpleasant time in jail and comes out walking as if he's spent all that time riding a horse!

You best get used to that. The government can do whatever it wants.. Warrents are a thing of the past.

I would guess that since he was a licensed Pharmacist buying drug making stuff on eBay he became of interest.

I have no sympathy for a drug manufacturer/dealer but I am a little concerned as to how the authorities found out about this guy.

The article just says that he "conducted internet research on the manufacture of MDA." Then he bought materials from EBay.

How did they find out about this "internet research?" Monitoring everyone's Google searches and flagging those who search for illegal drugs?

I am ok with this government spying for purposes of national security and preventing terrorism but not to go after people who search for other things. I can only hope there is more to this story.

Drug Enforcement Agency special agents and the FBI arrested a pharmacist, and former Jersey City resident, early this morning, after executing warrants at a Bleecker Street residence on federal charges alleging he assembled equipment for an illegal drug lab, New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman announced today.

Jordan Gonzalez, 33, of New York was charged in a criminal complaint with one count of attempting to manufacture methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and one count of possessing chemicals and materials to manufacture a controlled substance, according to the release.

Additional warrants were being served in both New Jersey and New York in connection with the investigation.

According to the complaint, Gonzalez used an online auction site, believed to be eBay, to purchase materials associated with the manufacture of the hallucinogen as well as various chemicals and flasks and empty gel caps along with a machine to fill them. The U.S. Attorney's Offices release confirmed Gonzalez used the ebay user name j#0r62n.

Gonzalez allegedly conducted internet research on the manufacture of MDA, the complaint says.

Early this morning, FBI agents and Jersey City police sealed off the area in front of 8 Bleecker St. - as well as Summit and Central Avenues - for further investigation after arresting Gonzalez around 12:30 a.m. today, an eyewitness said. The neighborhood is a residential area.

Juliana Medina, 23, who has lived at 447 Central Ave. for the past year, said she was told she couldn?t return to the building and could not go back inside. At least two neighborhood buildings were evacuated by police as a precautionary measure.

?This has never happened before in this neighborhood,? Medina said, ?This is a quiet area.?

Medina said she received a call this morning to pick up her daughter at a nearby daycare and has been waiting outside her building since 8:30 a.m.
Yellow police caution tape has sealed off South Street and earlier officials had shut down Summit and Central avenues.

In addition to officials from the FBI and local police, agents from the DEA, bomb squad and Jersey City fire department remain on the scene along with ambulances from Jersey City Medical Center.

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop was at the scene earlier today and was briefed by police and the FBI.
