A plot involving a small-town Nebraska pharmacy sounds like its straight out of the Netflix series Ozark.
It comes complete with allegations of a computer wizard disguising financial transactions on the Internets shadowy cousin, the Darknet. It includes accusations of money laundering and drug dealing. And, oh yeah, a purported plot to blow up a rival in order to hide the illicit activity.
