U.S. Attorney & Bodybuilder Guilty Of Importing Steroids
An attorney from Los Angeles has pleaded guilty to importing and
possession of anabolic steroids.
Erik Harald Moje, 40, has admitted importing raw steroid hormone
powder from China and being in possession of thousands of dosage
units of injectable steroid vials and steroid pills. He was
busted when investigators found a false wall in his garage and
is part of the national steroid crackdown named Operation Cyber
Juice.
steroid vials attorneyBefore U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd,
Moje confirmed to the court he was responsible for importing
large quantities of raw hormone powder from Asia. Between Dec.
1, 2013 and September 2015, he illegally imported raw
testosterone and steroid powder into the United States from a
Chinese steroid supplier.
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) investigators first started
looking into Moje and his activities in August 2014. Encrypted
emails were subpoenaed and it was seen that he was in contact
with a Chinese steroid powder supplier named ‘LEXXER’. Emails
then confirmed purchasing details, bank account information and
international money transfers were being used to send cash
overseas as payment.
According to court documents released by the Department of
Justice (DOJ) he routed shipments of steroids through a UPS
mail-forwarding service in New York. In May 2015 one of these
packs was intercepted. After analysis it contained one kilo of
anabolic steroids. That’s not a small amount even in underground
lab (UGL) terms.
Surveillance was put on Moje and officers observed him seeing a
number of bodybuilders at his residence and not practicing much
law. Enough was enough.
DEA agents then raided his home finding a false wall full of
anabolic steroids. Found inside the fake wall was: 538 10ml
vials of steroids such as, Trenbolone, Sustanon, Testosterone
and Winstrol. Steroid tablets totally 17,700 were located
including popular steroids Dianabol, Anavar and Anadrol 50.
Officers from U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S.
Postal Inspection Service, the Turlock Police Department and the
Modesto Police Department all played roles in Moje and his
arrest.
As Moje has pleaded guilty to all charges and forfeited his
California home, prosecutors have stated they will not seek more
than 11 months in jail. Moje faced up to 10 years and a fine of
$500,000. His law career is also probably over after his
conviction, although he is still a member of the State Bar of
CA.
Sentencing is set for May 15.
