Flagged? They probably relocated the sever into their main office
Come on, it was around for a really long time in illicit site time. I doubt any of us here could have done much better. Some of the people on this board get low level heat like the FTC or whatever, but I doubt there have even been congressional style discussions about any one here.
Flagged for what? Misseling biz opps and acai? Don't you think the NSA has bigger fish to fry?
I'm 100% against this surveilance stuff, but let's be honest most people worried about being "flagged" and "surveyed" are just feeding their own ego thinking they are important when they are not at all.
So he decides to go walter white and gives out an interview to forbes magazine. How dumb can a motherfucker get
What makes you think you need to be important to be flagged? Storage space is extremely cheap, I'm pretty sure everyone's got a nice fat file by now.
Something is off with the whole exchange between "FriendyChemist," "DPR" and "redandwhite."
FriendyChemist attempts to extort DPR with exposing a list of real names and addresses of vendors on Silk Road. He tells DPR he owes money to his narcotics suppliers (redandwhite) and will release the list of names if he isn't paid 500k.
DPR plays ball because FriendyChemist shows a sample list of names and addresses. DPR asks FriendyChemist to have his suppliers contact him.
redandwhite, the narcotics supplier, contacts DPR. DPR negotiates a deal to murder FriendyChemist and pay him 150k, instead of 500k.
redandwhite agrees and DPR sends him 150k in bitcoins. 24 hours later redandwhite messages DPR letting him know "Your problem has been taken care of..." then sends him a pic of the dead FriendyChemist.
Sounds like some dumb Nigerian monkey scam...That shit can't be real.
They crunch and store everything. Companies like Verizon cooperated with them illegally, then congress gives them "retroactive immunity."
Most Americans Commit Three Felonies a Day
Since they are often victimless crimes, they go unreported and no charges are filed.
I have no doubt they'll eventually use such information against political opponents or "dissidents." I'd encourage you to look at the big picture here.
The US has 5% of the world's population, and 25% of the world's prisoners. Sound like freedom?
He may have done it. He may not. It's impossible to tell without hard evidence (voice recordings, financial transactions, etc.). I'm inclined to think Justice is making it up to tarnish the record of an individual many folks consider a hero.
Roberts has been a vocal critic of government. His network loves him for it.
He sells or facilitates the sale of illegal narcotics. And they love him for it.
He (allegedly) lives a life without the trappings of wealth. And they love him for it.
But ordering a hit? "Whoa! That's not cool. I can support the sale of drugs, but not assassinations. Shame on Roberts!"
It's like Julian Assange. He works in the shadows fomenting criticism against the government. Folks love him for it.
Assange releases classified documents embarrassing the government. And folks love him for it.
But raping women? "Whoa! That's not cool. I can support releasing classified docs that show the nastiness and brutishness of our government. But I can't get behind rape. Shame on Assange!"
No hard evidence required.
Who has the best hackers in the world?
Who would love to take down the silk road?
Who has a long history of entrapment?
Who would have to means to pull something like this off?
I would have at least moved somewhere outside the United States. Preferably somewhere that doesn't extradite, but anywhere else would have been a good start.
I'm sure their love will not last. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would fare well doing hard time. I bet right about now the Feds have every single name and address of every vendor / person that he associated with.
If you were pedaling anything on there I would find a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the U.S., get on a plane and make a new home there :drinkup:
