\"\"A Koreatown man was arrested on federal charges alleging he worked with a Hollywood woman who ran a drug-delivery operation, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

In one incident, they sold counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl that resulted in a fatal opioid overdose, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mucktarr Kather Sei, 36, whose stage name is Kather Sei, was charged in a federal grand jury indictment returned last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The indictment alleges that Sei delivered fentanyl-laced pills that led to the death of a Beverly Hills man in late 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The second defendant in this case who allegedly orchestrated the drug-delivery service \u2013 Mirela Todorova, also known as \u201cMimi,\u201d 33, of Hollywood \u2013 is currently being held without bond after being charged last year for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and MDMA (commonly called ecstasy). <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Todorova holds United States, Bulgarian, and Canadian citizenship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Todorova and Sei are charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, and one count of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. <\/span><\/p>\n

The four-count superseding indictment filed last week also charges Todorova with the two previously alleged drug counts stemming from the seizure of cocaine and MDMA at her residence in March 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to the indictment, Todorova provided cellphones and narcotics \u2013 including counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl \u2013 to Sei and other drivers to facilitate the delivery of drugs to customers across Los Angeles County and elsewhere. <\/span><\/p>\n

Todorova also delivered drugs herself and gave Sei keys to her Hollywood apartment so Sei could access drugs when Todorova visited Mexico, where she continued to manage her drug operation while tending to her pet jaguar, \u201cPrincess,\u201d officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On November 15 and 16, 2020, after a 37-year-old man placed orders for oxycodone pills to Todorova\u2019s phone number, Sei allegedly delivered pills laced with fentanyl that caused the man\u2019s fatal overdose in his Beverly Hills home. <\/span><\/p>\n

As part of that transaction, Sei called the man from a phone that Todorova provided to facilitate drug sales, the indictment alleges.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Before and after the fatal overdose, other drug customers raised concerns about the authenticity and safety of the oxycodone pills that Todorova and Sei allegedly distributed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Several weeks before the death of the drug customer in Beverly Hills, according to the indictment, another customer texted Todorova, \u201cYo mimi the oxys are dirty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To facilitate drug payments, Todorova gave Sei and her other drug delivery drivers her electronic payment usernames such as \u201c$clubmimi,\u201d \u201c@clubmimi,\u201d \u201c@mimiclub,\u201d and\u00a0123mimi@gmail.com<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted of the charges, the defendants are facing up to life imprisonment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
