While these guys may have supplied the seller on SR I highly doubt they sold retail.

Global ecstacy seizures in 2010 were ~4000kg but they were as high as 16000kg in 2007. I imagine with the rise in EDM the past few years they are up around 10000kg / year again.
If you assume a 10% seizure rate that is 100,000kg produced per year or approx. 2,000kg per week.
I would guess the seizure rate is more like 5% but I was being on the generous side. I'll attach a pdf from the UN drug website with the numbers.

Also second best stealth from any vendor Ive ever seen. Either way I expect a price hike in the near future. That's a fucking unbelievable amount of mdma.
There's been busts like this before, price range has always been €10-€30

If this is the correct chain we're all thinking about, it could be assumed they supplied much more than one vendor on SR, and they've been around much longer than SR's existence. More likely they supplied the vendor's suppliers. I would even go so far as to say this is directly related to the recent safrole bust in Thailand: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18647466/page/5

I bet this much is taken from small time busts once a year or a half. What a waist of tree matter.

BRUSSELS (AP) - A three-nation investigation led to one of the biggest seizures of synthetic drugs in Europe, a haul of products to create Ecstasy pills with a street value of 1.3 billion euros ($1.75 billion), the Belgian prosecutor's office said Friday.
After 30 raids in Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland, 11 people were under arrest charged with possession, production and trading in drugs as part of a criminal gang, it said.
"It is the biggest such bust ever in Belgium and one of the largest in Europe," Wenke Roggen, spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor's office, said. "It is quite incredible."
Products seized included about 1,000 kilograms of MDMA and 18.5 tons of Ecstasy precursor safrole, Roggen said. The criminal organization was made up of people with Belgian, Polish and Turkish nationality, Roggen said.
Most of the products were discovered in a suburban Brussels garage and in southern farmland around the city of Chimay, where men in biohazard suits were still working on the cleanup operation on Friday. Products were also found at an undisclosed location in the Netherlands.
"It is a shock that our region was at the center of such an important production of illegal products," Chimay mayor Francoise Fassieux said.
Authorities had to evacuate some people around the area of the plant where the drugs were produced, Fassieux said.

Smushroom said: 1kg = 1000g 1g = 1000mg
1000kg = 1 billion mg
1 billion mg / 60 million pills = 16.67 mg per pill
Yes 1kg = 1 million mg but they seized 1000kg and that is what I quoted in my numbers and 1000kg = 1 billion mg
Smushroom's math is correct. It's so easy when the measures are metric.
1 X 10^3 x 1 X 10^3 x 1 X 10^3 = 1 X 10^9, or 1 billion.
Motherfucker that's a ton of ANYTHING, let alone Ecstasy.

1000Kg*2.2lbs/kg*16oz/lb*28g/oz*10 doses/g=9,856,000.
60,000,000 doses/9856000 doses *100=609% percent discrepancy. I think I've cracked the dosage /weight exaggeration. Divide by roughly 6 and you arrive somewhere in the ballpark.
Edit:lol face palming myself for the excess conversions...old habits. Still 98 percent on point oh well.

Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed.” – Terence McKenna -

1000kg of mdma seems like nothing when they seize 18.5 tons of safrole :P
I still doubt this will effect the price/supply much at all. I assume there is enough product on hand to last a few weeks and by then the other major producers will just increase their production for fill the void. When you are looking a multi-billion dollar a year industry there are plenty that are willing to take their place
