EXCLUSIVE Inside the Hamptons million dollar drug ring where rich clients dined with dealers and were chauffeured in Mercedes for top-of-the-line cocaine

It’s the flashiest street in the Hamptons – the Rodeo Drive of the East End – where, if you have money to burn, you can light an inferno at Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton or Prada.

And, at least until recently, Newtown Lane in East Hampton Village was also the place where you could buy couture cocaine from a Mercedes-driving drug pusher, who would pick you up at a high-end Italian restaurant and take you to a more secluded spot to make the deal.

And this was no street drug cut with fentanyl or bath salts. This was the real deal – ‘a much purer, high-end product,’ one source familiar with the scheme told DailyMail.com.

But now the whole $1 million drug business has come crashing down following the arrests of the alleged kingpins who kept the Hamptons hooked.

Michael Khodorkovskiy 44, of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, a private ride-share driver, and Russian-born Alexandr Dyatchin, 38, an Uber driver, who was renting a summer home in the millionaires’ playground, have been charged with more than 80 felony counts.

Police say the two men ran a cocaine delivery service that served high-end locations in the Hamptons from Newtown Lane out to the prestigious Montauk Yacht Club, and everywhere in between.

And what Khodorkovskiy and Dyatchin didn’t know was that many of the deals they struck weren’t with high rollers wanting to get higher, but with undercover agents.

The arrests have sent shock waves through the summer haven – nowhere more than at Cittanuova, a classy Italian restaurant across the street from Chanel and next door to Zimmermann – a store recommended by Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, where a regular dress will set you back more than $2,000.

It was at Cittanuova that, unknown to the restaurant’s owners, Khodorkovskiy met his clients.

these two street dealer fools took incredible risks for relatively small potato payoffs ....

Alexandr Dyatchin, 38, an Uber driver, who was renting a summer home in the millionaires’ playground, have been charged with more than 80 felony counts.

Something tells me that Alexandr is either going to get an unusually light sentence - like probation - or end up dead.

They ran a delivery service, they didn’t sell the drugs? Front men. Got paid in free drugs and a place to live?

The $1 million just covers the 80 counts in the charging documents. Over the decade you can be sure they did considerably more business.

Yes, all it takes is one rich kid to get busted with a bag of coke and his parents to tell him he has to flip or he’s going to ruin the perfect life they made for him.

these two are stupid, selling to undercovers when you know who you routinely sell to the same people

Celebs have other demons beside drugs.

Steven Spielberg has had rumors about him for a long time. Here are some comments.

For the first time in a long time, there were a number of people who refused to be a part of what happens on the yacht of the permanent A list director.
