In February 2015, Maximilian Schmidt, known online as Shiny Flakes, was arrested for selling approx. 4.1 million euros worth of drugs – from his childhood bedroom.
Using his own website shinyflakes.com and the German postal service, at 19-years old he ran an international drugs empire by himself – selling one tonne of drugs over 14 months.
This is the true story that inspired the hit German Original Series How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast).
