Cambridge suspect faces federal charges
An alleged meth and fentanyl kingpin of a “sprawling” Greater Boston empire was arrested and charged following an investigation which indicated he could have produced millions of counterfeit pills — partially funded through Paycheck Protection Program loan fraud.
Schuyler Oppenheimer, 33, of Cambridge, who allegedly conducted illicit trade with Chinese suppliers under the name “Michael Sylvain,” was arrested last week and charged in federal court in Boston with possession of 500 grams and more of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine and two counts of wire fraud. The drug charge carries at least 10 years and up to life in prison if convicted.
Oppenheimer consented to voluntary detention ahead of a detention hearing, according to court records, and prosecutors say he could face additional charges.
“The sprawling manufacturing of illegal drugs alleged in this case is as dangerous as it is appalling. It is alleged that Mr. Oppenheimer illegally manufactured hundreds of kilograms of lethal drugs in order to continue to saturate our streets with deadly drugs,” said acting U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy.
A state and federal drug task force member described Oppenheimer repeatedly in a lengthy affidavit supporting the charges as a “skilled” drug chemist. A rap sheet included in court documents shows drug charges — convicted or otherwise — dating back to 2008 and at the time of his arrest on July 18, Oppenheimer was on pretrial release for three pending cases.
In addition to his own record, law enforcement was already on to him because he is suspected “to historically have been a technician for other large-scale pill producers in Massachusetts,” according to the affidavit.

Give him a taste of his own medicine. A big lethal taste.
That's great.
Even drug suppliers need a career path.
And the MA police did nothing until instructed to bust him?
Who did he make mad?
“king pin”?
I have a strong suspicion they didn’t make it all the way up the ladder.
From 2008 until 2024. He had a good run. Must have had the right clients.
Oppenheimer? How about Heisenberg? (Breaking Bad reference)
I agree, give him an overdose of his own stuff
Saint George of Fentanyl is upset...
China called Joe and told him this guy wasn’t following the plan.
Is he related to the Oppenheheimer of Atomic bomb fame?
Didn’t pay The Big Guy. ALWAYS pay The Big Guy
Fentanyl has been helping rid us of some of our undesirables...druggies. They choose to use, and sometimes lose!
I am sure he has already been released.
Heard this week of a new drug that’s however many times worse than fentanyl. Seems putting that out on the streets would cause a huge decline in the demand when their customers end up 6 feet under.
