I also remember something about their 'cleaner' drug having a colour which clearly indicates presence of impurities of some sort. (Again, not a chemist - just saying what I heard.)
I fail to see how he could avoid getting a racemic product with a synth using methylamine - meaning a very complicated step to separate out the d-meth AND wasting half of it. You're right, though - crystallization usually removes the by products, unless they are also amines.
