Ross Mtangi, a trading executive at Credit Suisse Group AG , left his Manhattan penthouse in March 2021 with his laptop and told his pregnant partner he was going to work. Mr. Mtangi, 40 years old, missed a follow up meeting. His sister and her partner found him dead at the hotel the next day. Police found on a table translucent black baggies that contained lethal fentanyl mixed in with the cocaine.
In the East Village, first-year lawyer Julia Ghahramani, 26, texted the same delivery service the same day. She also died. She had just started her career remotely at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.
Social worker Amanda Scher, 38, did the same. She died in the Greenwich Village apartment she shared with her Chihuahua-Corgi rescue dog. It was a stone’s throw from where she had received her master’s degree at New York University.
The average coke user is apparently very diverse now
“Julia was a driven professional with everything to live for. Never in a billion years would she have touched anything with fentanyl,” he said. “This is like putting bullets in people’s brains.”
Yeah, but when you've been getting your speed from a pharmacy it's a big step down to have to get it from some guy with an animal nickname in a back alley somewhere. Especially if you're some white-collar college student who has no idea how to do so without getting robbed.

The copium is strong
Yay, snorting coke is totally normal, guys. It's the fentanyl that's the problem here, not "normal" people habitually ordering and consuming cocaine.
I hear that Americans have been freaking out over an Adderall shortage. That stuff is just glorified speed.
