How to read this
Context
u/MisterYouAreSoDumb is the long-running Reddit handle of Paul Eftang, CEO of Centera Bioscience doing business as Nootropics Depot. That identification is in the public record: a U.S. Department of Justice press release (Feb 5, 2024) and the English Wikipedia page for Nootropics Depot both name the account.
He posted for more than a decade, first as a highly active commenter in r/Nootropics and r/DrugNerds, then as operator of Ceretropic (research peptides such as P21, Semax, Selank), then as “ND Owner” in r/NootropicsDepot. The voice in the archive is mostly vendor Q&A: COAs, sourcing, dosing questions, and product launches — not a personal diary.
In 2023–2024 the company and CEO pleaded guilty to introducing misbranded drugs into interstate commerce (tianeptine, phenibut, racetams among the compounds named by DOJ). Sentence: probation, $2.4 million forfeiture, and surrender of seized product. Posts from that window sit next to that record; this archive does not retry the case.
Ceretropic no longer sells in the US. Later posting shifts toward standardized botanicals (lion’s mane, tongkat ali, Cistamax, Eurycomax) and the 2024 store relaunch. Use the timeline to keep those chapters from collapsing into one another.
