SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: NERD NETS $1M FR0M RAPE DRUG
Jan 23 2005
He made a fortune from his bedroom on his computer
By Russell Findlay, Steve Mckenzie And James Oliver
A BABY-FACED computer nerd is facing extradition to
America after
raking in $1million from online drug deals.
David Calder, 24, used the computer in his bedroom
in Aberdeen to amass
a fortune selling a chemical used to make date rape
drug GHB on the
internet.
But now he faces five years in a US prison and has
had his dirty
fortune seized by investigators in Scotland.
As well as his home, cars and bank accounts The
Civil Recovery Unit has
also confiscated Calder's prized possessions - a
boxing glove once
owned by Muhammad Ali and a Terminator poster signed
by Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
They even took his 950 state-of-the-art Dyson
washing machine.
One investigator said: 'They stripped him of
everything of value. He's
not even been left with a washing machine to launder
his money.
'It may have hurt to see his possessions being taken
away but I'm sure
the thought of doing time in a US jail is much more
terrifying.'
Over three years Calder transported thousands of
litres of the chemical
gamma butyrolactone (GBL) to co-accused Jamie
Greiman in California.
The GBL sold by Calder to Greiman was enough to make
a staggering
17,730 litres - almost 4000 gallons - of gamma
hydroxy butyrate (GHB).
It's used as a recreational drug and by sexual
predators to drug and
rape their victims.
Next month Calder will appear before judges at the
Court of Session in
Edinburgh who will decide whether to extradite him
to face trial in San
Francisco.
The US made GBL illegal in 2000 as its main use was
to make GHB - but
the chemical remains legal in Britain, even though
GHB has been
categorised as a class C drug.
The Americans argue that Calder knew that it was
illegal to export GBL
to the US.
They also claim he instructed others in how to make
GHB and knew what
they intended to use it for.
Between August 2001 and March 2004, Calder sent
dozens of consignments
of GBL to Greiman in the US.
American court documents obtained by the Sunday Mail
reveal the full
extent of Calder's bedroom drugs cartel.
The indictment against Calder and Greiman, who
operated using 15
aliases, contains 377 separate counts.
Calder usually sent the liquid in five or 10 litre
amounts to Greiman
at addresses in California, New York and New Jersey.
The court papers also shows a record of 80 payments
made in dollars
sent to Calder in Aberdeen, both electronically and
by post. US
Attorney Kevin V. Ryan will argue that the total
value of laundered
funds was up to $1million.
In June the Civil Recovery Unit was granted
permission to recover the
proceeds of Calder's internet drugs business.
He was freed from a Scottish prison in July in
advance of his
extradition hearing.
Inland Revenue records show his total declared
income between 1997 and
2001 was just 64,581 but he has paid no tax since,
though accountants
hired by the CRU found that between 2001 and 2004
around 143,360 was
paid into Calder's traceable bank accounts.
They have now frozen his Aberdeen home, eight bank
accounts and around
2500 in cash - both in sterling and in dollars.
They have also seized his 50,000TVR sports car with
private
registration, 28,000 BMW coup and a powerful
motorbike.
Also confiscated was Calder's Breitling watch -
which cost him almost
2800 - electrical goods and a leather suite.
This week Calder refused to comment as he left his
Aberdeen home
driving a battered P-reg Vauxhall.
Calder was born in Buckie to grocery shop manager
dad Norman and mum
Iris who divorced in 1997. He bought his mother's
home in Aberdeen's
Belmont Gardens from her in 1997 for 76,250.
The UK passed a new extradition law in 2003 and
thanks to the 9/11
terror attacks struck a special treaty with the US.
Last night a Crown Office spokeswoman refused to
comment on the Calder
case.
What cops seized
..Calder ran his empire from his home in Aberdeen's
Belmont Gardens
which he bought from his mother for 76,000 in 1997
when he was only 16
..Calder bought his powerful motorbike for 4500 in
March last year
..The BMW coup was another of Calder's stable of
fast cars
..Calder loved fast cars and his flash TVR Griffith -
which boasted a
private registration - cost 50,000. Every car is
hand-built to the
customer's own specification
..Fight fan Calder counts a boxing glove once owned
by 'The Greatest' -
Muhammad Ali - as one of his most prized possessions
..Posh Breitling watch has a 2700 price tag
..This poster from hit film Terminator is signed by
star Arnie and is
Calder's pride and joy
..Calder is having to wash his dirty linen without
the help of his
top-of-the-range Dyson washing machine which cost
almost 1000
