2 arrested in dark-web drug operation that sold fentanyl to Miami agents as ‘HotGirlzClub'

Federal investigators say two people are behind a drug operation on the dark-web that shipped hundreds of packages across the country—including into the hands of undercover agents in South Florida. Nicholas Aguilar and Jessica Marcolina are accused of selling drugs as a vendor on the dark-web called “HotGirlzClub” and laundering the proceeds through cryptocurrency from about September 2020 through June 2026. During the investigation, undercover agents in Miami bought drugs advertised as heroin, but testing found more than 14 grams of fentanyl. The drugs, along with 5.8 grams of methamphetamine, were transported in packages that contained clear, heat-sealed plastic bags concealed among miscellaneous household items. Investigators say they identified more than 500 suspicious shipments linked to the sender s address, and were able to identify the subjects after reviewing surveillance footage from the post offices, fake IDs, the cryptocurrency transactions and payout accounts.
