If they do it with those other drugs why wouldn't they do it with steroids? Feds/DEA only do hit and run undercover work unless they are cultivating a relationship with someone REALLY big in which case they will go undercover on a p/t or f/t basis.
I'm not saying they don't brouse these sites looking for info, but all it takes is for them to bust one well known member who wants to avoid jail and is willing to turn rat for them. If people will do it in real life and turn rat on people they know personally and see on a regular basis and consider themselves friends with, why wouldn't someone do it when they only know people via online personas?
So that's a que to be even more paranoid than you were before.
The good news is they are only looking to bust people higher up the food chain, not lower down the food chain. So if they get someone connected to a ug on the hook they could care less about the people they sell to but want suppliers.
