A Guam man described by federal authorities as a “prolific drug dealer” will now spend over 11 years behind bars. 

Twenty-seven--year-old Gavin Domingo Alimurong was sentenced to 11 years and three months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine on island, a drug trafficking operation that spanned from 2019 to 2022 and used the dark web and the U.S. Postal Service to ship narcotics to Guam.

Court documents reveal Alimurong converted cash to Bitcoin to pay for meth, cocaine, and ecstasy. 

Law enforcement seized a staggering haul: Nearly 600 grams of meth, 400 grams of cocaine, pharmaceuticals, a firearm, ammunition, drug paraphernalia, and over $350,000 in cash, plus luxury cars and goods.

The case was prosecuted under a federal task force targeting major criminal networks.

Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood handed down the sentence on Wednesday.

Alimurong will also face five years of supervised release once his prison term is complete.
