Osman Kalliu, 21, accepted a bank transfer in the lavatory of PRYZM, Kingston-upon-Thames for what he claims was leftover cocaine.
“You made a series of stupid decisions, but you were very young at the time,” Judge Rajeev Shetty told him, sentencing Kalliu to ten months and fourteen days imprisonment, suspended for eighteen months.
He must also complete 120 hours of community service; obey a three-month night-time curfew between 9.00pm and 6.00am and pay £420 costs.
Kalliu, of May Close, Chessington pleaded guilty to supplying the Class A drug on December 24, 2022 and failing to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates Court on January 23, last year.
Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court heard Kalliu fears deportation, but Judge Shetty confirmed he would make no such recommendation, crediting the defendant for his work history and noting family support.
“This offence does pass the custody threshold and the selling of Class A drugs in clubs and bars impacts the safety of the public at large,” added the judge.
He took into account Kalliu has not been arrested since and has good prospects for rehabilitation.
“I hope we never have to see you again. Stay within the law and work hard.”
