flag British man convicted in U.S. court for supplying fentanyl that killed two U.S. Navy sailors in 2017 via dark web drug network.

flag Paul Anthony Nicholls, a 47-year-old British man living in Vancouver, was convicted in January 2026 in a U.S. federal court in Georgia on charges related to the 2017 overdose deaths of two U.S. Navy sailors, Petty Officers Brian Jerrell and Ty Bell, near the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. flag The conviction stems from his role in a dark web drug trafficking network called "Canada1," operating through the defunct marketplace "Dream Market," which distributed dangerous fentanyl analogues via Canada Post using a shell company's logo. flag U.S. and Canadian authorities intercepted over 40 packages, found tracking receipts at Nicholls’ and a co-conspirator’s homes, and seized drugs valued at $24 million—potentially lethal to 375,000 people. flag Nicholls, who overstayed his visa and was deported in 2018, faces a minimum 20-year sentence, possibly life without parole, under federal law. flag The case highlights cross-border efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking with fatal outcomes.
