On October 11, 2023, law enforcement executed arrest warrants on a Las Vegas home. Inside was a middle aged couple, Rushan Reed (47) and Celeste Reed (28). To the public they seemed like an ordinary couple, but online they were running a sophisticated drug trafficking operation.
The couple operated under the username "MrsFeelGood", "Mrs.FeelGood", and "MrsFeelGood1". In Rashan's statement of offense the couple began their darknet vendor venture as early as March 2017 up until their arrest in October 2023.
"MrsFeelGood" was known to have operated on various markets such as Monopoly, Versus, ASAP, AlphaBay, Wall Street, Archetyp, Bohemia, Empire, Dream, and White House. At the time of writing only one of the ten markets listed are still running, Archetyp. The account 'MrsFeelGood' has since been removed from the vendor list on Archtyp as well as any mention of them on the Archtyp forum.
The couple sold oxycodone, hydrocodone, and amphetamine pressed pills. They advertised their pills as "Pharmacy Grade", and "from a personal prescription straight from the pharmacy". They quickly became known as a vendor with high quality opiates. Rashan and Celeste would often acquire these pills using fraudulent perceptions as well as purchasing pills from people using their own legitimate prescriptions.
They also sold and distributed MDMA, codeine, Vyvanse, Dilaudid, and marijuana but it wasn't as popular as their pills.
Rashan and Celeste received payments in both Bitcoin and Monero. In order to launder and clean their funds, Rashan frequently used exchange[.]me to swap his stolen money for clean Bitcoin which he would then cash out at Bitcoin ATMs.
Between December 2021 and June 2023, law enforcement conducted multiple controlled buys from "Mrsfeelgood" on separate Darknet Markets.
Authorities purchased a total of 14.886kg (32.8lbs) of Adderall, Hydrocodone, and Oxycodone.
During their raid on October 11th, 2023, authorities found multiple pills in prescription bottles, packaging materials; gloves; black Ziploc bags; and empty prescription pill bottles with the names of the defendants and other uncharged coconspirators. Officers also recovered an assortment of electronic devices and an AR-15 firearm.
The Department of Justice stated that the laptop that was seized was "set up to use an operating system designed to access the darknet and protect against surveillance", they were most likely using something like TailsOS or QubesOS. The DOJ makes it sound a lot more high tech than it really is.
A year after the raid on their home, on October 22, 2024, the couple each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute oxycodone, hydrocodone, and amphetamine. On February 13th, 2025, Rushan Reed was sentenced to 51 months and Celeste Reed was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison. In addition to the prison terms, Judge Carl J. Nichols ordered the couple to serve three years of supervised release.
During the 6+ years of business Rashan and Celeste made over 1,700 sales across seven markets. They sold at least 7,400 pills of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Amphetamine or about 527.6kg (1163lbs) of converted drug weight.
Their indictment is still sealed so many of the interesting details are not public knowledge yet. Whenever that gets unsealed I will update this article with the new information.
Thank you toffee for the help
