A man in East China's Jiangxi Province recently reported his dealer to local police after spending 9,000 yuan ($1,290) on what turned out to be fake meth, according to Knews on Monday. 

The man, surnamed Yi, bought the drugs in late May and was planning to sell them to his friends. However, not only did he fail to sell out the meth, but he was mocked for buying fake drugs. 

"My friend smoked two bags of meth I bought him, but felt nothing," Yi told the police. 

Feeling outraged and betrayed, he called the dealer, surnamed Zhu, who had sold him meth several times before, but Yi's protestations were ignored. 

"I put my trust in him. I even gave him a dealer fee each time I bought stuff," Yi said.

When police investigated the case, they found that the two men had worked together at a decoration company three years ago. Zhu was the site supervisor overseeing Yi, who was one of the workers at the company. 

Yi quit in the middle of a project, causing Zhu more than 3,000 yuan ($430) in losses. To pay him back for his irresponsibility, Zhu planned the "fake drug" scheme, asking his upstream vendor to "mix sugar or whatever with the drug". 

"This man is so ruthless. He'll drag others down, even if it means getting himself in trouble," one comment read.
