The bumbling Penn State drug-dealing frat bros used a not-so-secret app to plot out their alleged cocaine deals, according to court documents.
Lucrative drug deals were hashed out on Snapchat and used traceable cash apps to exchange thousands of dollars in payments for massive amounts of cocaine, the docs claim.
Agostino Abbatiello, the 24-year-old alleged ringleader of the campus conspiracy, used Snapchat “to facilitate the delivery of cocaine to known persons,” according to the documents.
Another Penn State student implicated in the scam, 22-year-old Mohammed Huraibi, testified before a Grand Jury that he set up a purchase of around 100 grams of coke for $4,000 from Abbatiello using Snapchat, the docs claim.
Abbatiello is now being held without bail.
His dad, Mario Abbatiello, told The Post Tuesday: “We have no comment. We have nothing to do with this. We have no comment.”
Abbatiello’s lawyer had no comment when contacted by The Post.
Here is the latest on the Penn State frat cocaine ring:
Thomas Robinson, 23, one of more than a dozen charged in the trafficking operation, was busted in December 2024 after authorities were tipped off that he was accepting cash payments through Venmo using his real name, according to court documents seen by NBC News.
After he was busted, Robinson cooperated with law enforcement and fingered Abbatiello as the coke source, the document claimed.
Lars Zeepvat, another defendant in the case, claimed that Abbatiello allegedly trapped him into joining the scheme.
“He stated that Abbatiello would boast about how much money he was making from selling cocaine,” court documents claim. “Zeepvat explained Abbatiello loaned him $1,500 so that he and other fraternity brothers could attend a spring break trip.
“Zeepvat stated that Abbatiello then made him deliver cocaine for him when he couldn’t pay back the loan,” the document claims.
