Two Brooklyn men have been arrested and charged in connection with a high-end cocaine “delivery service” that catered to affluent customers in the Hamptons. The drug operation, run by Alexandr Dyatchin, 38, and Michael Khodorkovsky, 44, allegedly transported cocaine from Brooklyn to luxury locations in the Hamptons, where they sold the drug at three times its street value.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney announced the arrests during a press conference, detailing how the duo concealed cocaine and MDMA in “traps” within their Mercedes vehicles. These hidden compartments allowed them to ferry drugs undetected to their wealthy clientele in the East End of Long Island.
“This operation was highly profitable for them until their arrest,” Tierney said, noting that the bust was part of a larger crackdown on drug and gun trafficking in the region. The investigation into Dyatchin and Khodorkovsky included undercover drug sales near Khodorkovsky’s Brooklyn apartment, leading to their August 2 arrest.
Authorities found significant quantities of drugs and cash during the arrests. Khodorkovsky had a kilo-and-a-half of cocaine, $38,550 in cash, and 39 gold coins worth $100,000 in his Brooklyn residence. Dyatchin’s East Hampton rental yielded nearly 600 grams of cocaine, 269 grams of MDMA, and $19,046 in cash. The pair, who both worked as rideshare drivers, allegedly sealed drug deals inside their luxury cars after meeting clients in upscale Hamptons locations.
The two men have been arraigned and are being held on $2 million cash bonds. Their arrests are part of a broader law enforcement effort that resulted in 39 indictments and nearly 400 criminal charges across multiple cases.
