Bazetta man indicted for steroids case

April 1, 2014

WARREN - Prosecutors on Monday released a court affidavit that outlines how a 22-year-old ''A'' student at Youngstown State University set up an elaborate Internet business that distributed steroids and laundered money through a series of PayPal accounts.
The accounts, according to the affidavit used to arrest Joseph Stiver, who lives with his parents at 2873 Cadwallader Sonk Road, Bazetta, were set up by an associate who worked for Global Fitness on Elm Road N.E.
The associate passed on names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of gym members to set up the accounts that held proceeds for the sale of the performance enhancing drugs, the affidavit states.
A quarter-mile away from the gym, another associate rented several storage units at E-Z Self Storage in Bazetta for a makeshift office and warehouse Stiver's Internet business known as Mutagenic.
It was a Dec. 11 break-in at E-Z Self Storage that led to the investigation launched by Trumbull-Ashtabula Group Law Enforcement Task Force. Bazetta police found evidence of a prescription steroid known as Testosterone Cypionate, a Schedule III controlled drug, and a neatly kept workshop where different vials were stored.
A search warrant by a TAG agent revealed syringes, assorted pills believed to be Zymaplex, and information identifying an Global associate. Also found was a package addressed to the associate with a return address from a body-building company in St. Louis.
TAG developed cooperation from the two associates, who detailed the operation of Mutagenic, and how they would make deliveries and pickups, some at the Niles post office for what has been labeled an illegal enterprise run by Stiver, who pleaded not guilty Monday before Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Ronald Rice.
The indictment was included on a special report from a Trumbull County grand jury.
Rice set a pretrial in the case for April 17, and after arguments by Stover's attorney, Dan Keating, and assistant county prosecutor, Charles Morrow, decided to lower Stiver's bond from $250,000 to $50,000, allowing him to be released from jail.
He had been arrested March 21 and had an initial court appearance when he was wearing a Global Fitness sweatshirt.
Rice said his Adult Probation Department would monitor Stiver on house arrest, allowing him to attend school, work and attend court appearances.
Morrow argued that nearly $180,000 seized from the attic area above Stiver's bedroom in his parent's home and relationship with customers could lead to him fleeing. Morrow also argued that Stiver failed to cooperate with certain authorities and attempted to conceal other funds from the business that could have financed an escape from justice.
Besides a first-degree felony charge of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, Stiver faces five counts of identity fraud, two counts of tampering with evidence and several others counts of trafficking, possession and aggravated possession of drugs - mostly the steroids. Most of the drug counts also have forfeiture specifications.

Whatever he was he somehow got ahold of great gear and did things better and bigger than everyone else here. He obviously flew a little to close to the sun. I for one still wish the kid luck...

I was very surprised at his age. He will probably accomplish great things, breaking bad, or maybe a CEO or something.

Except the fact that he now has multiple felony charges on his record so it's very unlikely he gets a job in corporate America and if he gets covicted of these felonys he can't even go off on his own and get things like a dealer Liscense, real estate licensee, and stuff like that to start his own succesful business. So this guys most likely gonna have to stay in the black market if he wants to live confortably. But you're right, he probably will still do big things on some breaking bad shit, kid had the top source here for what 2 years so he was 20 when he started it. That's impressive.

I'll respectfully disagree with you about corporate America. I know several CEO's and I know with them violent felonies are a no go, but a kid like muta with natural marketing abilities and savvy would at least get a second look. We also don't know what kind of legal team he has put together, if somehow they can limit his conviction to one felony he could easily have his record expunged. Bu again, we have no idea what the situation on the ground is. Could be stacking up against him or all falling into place for him.
