I think the Asian operators are more inclined to use research chemicals - if you can manufacture F, you can certainly make Flualprazolam. I've given that as an example because it is a research chemical that has very similar effects to real xanax, but is stronger so they don't need to add so much to the mix. Flualprazolam is also cheaper than F, which is helpful to those who need to smuggle it into their country. That said, in most countries flualprazolam is legal, so that's another reason not to put the dreaded F into bars.
I'm not saying F will never end up in a bar of xanax, but I think it would be quite an amateur operation. There are so many research chemicals that are available, legal in many countries, easier to source, and cheaper to buy. All round it is less risk for the operators to avoid F.
However none of that changes my advice to test for F to be safe! Although I agree with you totally that these operations don't set out trying to kill their customers - that would be an insane business move! If F ends up in some bars, it might well be accidental contamination or a mix up (mistaking one white powder for another). I don't really see it happening on purpose. That's not because the operators are being nice, more to do with their own profit margins and legal risk.
