Kansas City Man Imprisoned for Distributing Meth and Heroinby DARKNETGUIDEBOOK

U.S. District Judge Greg Kays handed down the sentencing of 35-year-old John M. LeCoque after he confessed to profiting over $10,000 monthly from the sale of illegal drugs on the now-defunct White House market through an undisclosed vendor profile, spanning from May 2020 to August 2021.

DEA investigators conducted two undercover purchases of methamphetamine and heroin from LeCoque in 2021. Following the identification of LeCoque, a search warrant was executed at his residence on May 27, 2021. During the search, investigators discovered and confiscated undisclosed quantities of methamphetamine and heroin, along with a handgun and ammunition securely locked inside a safe. An examination of LeCoque's vendor account uncovered that as of May 2021, he had fulfilled 279 orders, resulting in the distribution of approximately 604 grams of methamphetamine and 234 grams of heroin. LeCoque publicly announced his intention to conclude his operations via the vendor account in August 2021.

LeCoque faced an eight-count indictment in April 2022 and was subsequently apprehended a month later. On August 16, 2023, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to the distribution of methamphetamine and heroin. In addition to being sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, LeCoque was ordered to forfeit $22,000 acquired from his illicit drug trafficking activities, underscoring the severity of his crimes and the consequences of engaging in such illegal enterprises.
