The listing said fentanyl-free. The lab said otherwise.
News4JAX, updated 11:29 a.m. ET Thursday, citing federal court papers: Vladislav Chernyshov, 35, and Stanislav Chernyshov, 30, of the Jacksonville area, are charged with conspiracy to distribute nitazenes — synthetic opioids prosecutors say can match or beat fentanyl. FBI arrested them Aug. 28. The new copy is the affidavit detail, not a new verdict.
Prosecutors: the brothers sold counterfeit oxycodone on the darknet as “BarbaraWhite,” marketed “fent free.” Testing found protonitazene, metonitazene, N-pyrrolidino etonitazene, and N-pyrrolidino isotonitazene. Pills were made to look like M-30 oxycodone. The case started after a fatal overdose in Arlington, Virginia, in August 2023. Authorities have not named the person who died.
Late May: FBI watched a man dump a bag behind a Sunbeam Road strip mall. Inside: vacuum-seal boxes, gloves, hairnets, five-gallon bags with blue powder, two blue M-30 pills. A field test hit N-pyrrolidino protonitazene. Aug. 28: agents hit Victory Jewelers after 6:30 a.m. and a St. Johns County house. If convicted, each faces a maximum of at least 20 years. A judge would still have to sentence. The complaint is an accusation.

What this means for you
If you bought a blue 30 off a darknet page that promised “no fentanyl,” that slogan is not a lab. If you needed a conviction, wait for a jury. If this morning was prison paper, this afternoon is a dumpster in Mandarin.
Bottom line: Two brothers. One alias. Nitazenes in the pills. Charges, not convictions.
