Berlin’s Drug Dealer: A Comedy of Errors
So, *picture this*: a 39-year-old man, up to his ears in a mountain of narcotics, gets nabbed in his Berlin-Friedenau apartment. Now, if you thought drug dealers were supposed to be discreet, this guy must have thought he was auditioning for a role in the *”Narcotics: The Musical”.* I mean, come on, when was the last time you saw a drug lord who didn’t at least have a secret bunker or a less suspicious method of delivery?
The Setup: A Masterclass in Not Being Subtle
Berlin police announced this little escapade—or should we say, *fiasco*—with great pride, having managed to catch this fellow thanks to the wonders of technology. They analyzed the encrypted messenger service, “EncroChat,” to crack the case. It’s like watching your grandparents trying to use FaceTime to call you while you’re stuck at home in the middle of a pandemic. You keep wondering, *where is the common sense?*
Between March and June 2020, this mastermind allegedly conducted 17 transactions. And what kind of wares were we talking about? Oh, just a casual four kilograms of crystal meth, 20,000 ecstasy tablets, 40 kilograms of speed, and around 116 kilograms of cocaine. So, in a nutshell, he was running a rager for the entire Berlin nightlife. Well, at least he kept the party going!
What Was Found: Just Your Average Day in a Drug Lord’s Apartment
Fast forward to the police busting down the door. What do they find? Around one million euros in cash—which probably wasn’t exactly stashed away in a family photo album. They also discovered cocaine, MDMA, and, get this, around 15 boxes full of cannabis products, along with a live firearm. Because, why not? You can never be too careful when your customers are basically just one rave away from passing out in front of you.
The Earnings: An Impressive Yet Foolish Cut
As is customary in these roaring business escapades, the police estimate our daring entrepreneur managed to earn around three million euros from his little drug dealings. That’s right, folks, move over Wall Street! Looks like drug dealing could have been the new stock market crash since 2020. Who knew being *”in the business”* meant endorsing a higher risk with a lower IQ?
Final Thoughts: Lessons Not Learned
So there you have it, folks—not every day you find a drug dealer who makes it so easy for the cops. But, hey, maybe he was just saving money for an extravagant retirement party—or perhaps planning his next performance as Berlin’s most wanted in *”Breaking Bad: The German Edition.”*
At the end of the day, this incident serves as a cheeky reminder that if you’re going to engage in illegal activities, perhaps a bit of discretion isn’t asking for too much? After all, it’s all fun and games until someone gets a taste of the Berlin police’s “party crashers.”
A 39-year-old man was arrested on Thursday morning in his apartment in Berlin-Friedenau on suspicion of illicit trafficking in narcotics. This was announced by the Berlin police and the public prosecutor’s office. Emergency services from the Berlin State Criminal Police Office executed an arrest warrant from the public prosecutor’s office.
By analyzing the encrypted messenger service “EncroChat”, the investigators had proven that the man had carried out extensive drug dealings.

Interview: A Comedic Take on Berlin’s Drug Bust with Comedian Felix Meyer
Editor: Today, we welcome Felix Meyer, a comedian known for his witty takes on pop culture and current events. Felix, you’ve been following this bizarre drug dealer story in Berlin. It sounds like there’s more than just crime at play here—there’s a touch of comedy as well. What were your first thoughts when you heard about this arrest?
Felix Meyer: Honestly, I couldn’t stop laughing! This guy was practically advertising that he was a drug dealer. I mean, when the police find a million euros in cash and 116 kilograms of cocaine just lying around, it’s almost like he wanted them to show up for a house party! It’s like he thought, “If I’m going down, I might as well throw in some drama.”
Editor: It certainly paints a vivid picture. The police used an encrypted messaging service to track him down. What do you think this says about modern drug dealers and their strategies?
Felix Meyer: It’s hilarious, right? Here we have a guy who thinks he’s going to outsmart the police with a “high-tech” messaging service while, at the same time, he’s hoarding enough drugs to stock a whole music festival! It’s like he was auditioning for some bizarre version of “Narcotics: The Musical.” The old rogue plays the role of tech-savvy Dealer, but clearly, he missed the memo on discretion.
Editor: And we know he managed to pull off 17 transactions in just a few months—what do you make of his entrepreneurial spirit in the drug trade?
Felix Meyer: Oh, it’s like the high-risk stock market! He’s raked in three million euros, but all I can think of is how he’s going to keep saying “I could have been a contender” to his cellmate. It’s impressive yet incredibly foolish. Maybe he thought he was going to retire with a bang—except now his retirement plans involve jump-suits and cafeteria food.
Editor: The police found some rather shocking “party favors” in his apartment, including a live firearm. What’s your take on that?
Felix Meyer: Oh, absolutely ridiculous! He clearly wasn’t thinking ahead. I mean, why on earth would you need a firearm when your biggest concern is running a rave? It’s like having a bouncer who can’t dance! He must have thought his customers were going to get rowdy with the ecstasy and cannabis while they played party games like “pass the pepper spray.”
Editor: So, all in all, do you think there are lessons to be learned from this escapade?
Felix Meyer: Definitely! This is a prime example that if you’re engaging in illegal activities, a little bit of common sense might go a long way. Not every drug dealer can be a mastermind, and clearly, he’s living proof that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor… and not leaving a million euros just lying around!
Editor: Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Felix! It seems that sometimes, truth—and law—really is stranger than fiction.
Felix Meyer: Absolutely! Every arrest should come with an “experience warning” label for those thinking about taking a wrong turn in life.
Editor: Well said! Thank you for joining us today, Felix.
Felix Meyer: Thank you for having me! Keep spreading those laughs!
