Key Points:

Penn State students, including frat members, allegedly used Snapchat and cash apps like CashApp and Venmo to coordinate and pay for cocaine deals, according to court documents.
Agostino Abbatiello, 24, is identified as the ringleader who used Snapchat to facilitate cocaine deliveries and is currently held without bail after surrendering to authorities.
Other students involved included Mohammed Huraibi, who testified about purchasing cocaine via Snapchat, and Thomas Robinson, who was arrested after accepting payments through Venmo and later cooperated with police.
Court documents reveal Abbatiello coerced some fraternity brothers into selling drugs by exploiting debts, such as a $1,500 loan for a spring break trip.
The drug trafficking operation was uncovered due to the suspects' use of traceable digital payment platforms and social media, leading to multiple arrests in late 2024.
