Snapchat-Fueled Cocaine Ring Ties Penn State Frats to Major Drug Network

Fourteen people, including current and former Penn State students from Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon, were charged in an off-campus cocaine distribution operation that used Snapchat and cash apps to move drugs to students. Authorities describe a clear hierarchy from suppliers to distributors and delivery, with Agostino Abbatiello allegedly leading the scheme. Others named include Thomas Robinson, Mohammed Huraibi, Lars Zeepvat, Robert Zanolla, Kaden Howe, Connor Hurleigh, Seth Beardsley, Daniel Price, Kyle Ridpath, Liam Smith, and Charlie Weisman. An informant helped expose the operation, which allegedly involved packaging and distributing cocaine from fraternity houses to Penn State students. The case is being pursued by the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
