Why?


Not Blake Benthall/Defcon4, but the one who started the SR2 shortly after the arrest of Ross U.

Yeah, its doubtful, but still possible.


We don't know Satoshi's plan.


True. Also he didn't use that in trial. He looks like a perfect fall guy to me.


Rene Pinell is a friend of Ross U.

Maybe not enough.

Same with Seagate, IBM, WD, Samsung, Sony, GB, MSI and a lot more.

Here are some of the chat logs between DPR and VJ/Cimon: https://de.scribd.com/collections/13080591/Silk-Road-trial-exhibits

Connect Bitcoin with 3d printers. Right now you can already send a lot of "things" through the internet: guns and guitars are just the tip of the iceberg.

My crystal ball said 400$ will be reached by 19.6.2016. Not sure if it is lying.

There is no big business without national interest. If you have a tech company and make millions, you are making part of national security already. Intel IS part of the national security since the 70s. You think Bill Gates would have sold his OS, if he refused the offer from the guys in the black suits back in the days?

When you know how to use it  ...

Same as I did last time: Buy me some cheap pizza.

I don't believe this story.

I reduced it to only 2 assumptions about this:

1. Chatlogs/Journal are planted by someone else and therefore they are untrue
2. Chatlogs/Journal are not planted and therefore representing the truth

1.
If the logs telling the truth, Ross at least "thought" he was hiring a hitman and he also "thought" that the job was done several times. He never gave up the site, but he created the lie about this to protect his business, he knew was illegal. He places notes about the murders side by side with some trivial server issues, like (a. watched the pic of a tortured to death guy. b. Server got DDosed)
That speaks a clear language: This guy turned from a nerd into a psychopath and seem to deserve the sentence.

2.
If all the files had been planted by someone else, we only have his statement, that "he is the founder of the site" and he "gave it to someone else" and he "was tricked back into the SR administration site". Poor Ross beeing the fall guy for the "Real DPR" (Karpeles, Variety Jones aka Cimon etc)

Everything looks clear at version 1., but there's a lot of room to speculate about 2.

If Ross was framed, it was most likely not the FBI. It might be possible when I wear my tinfoil baseball cap, but, cmon....
Let's say every statement from Ross/Dratel is true and he was framed by a hacker, who maybe has planted all the proof on his pc, it would have made sense for the defense to present "The Real DPR" as beeing the hacker with the masterplan instead of Karpeles. The "Real DPR" who opened Silkroad 2 just a few weeks after the arrest of Ross Ulbricht and the closing of SR1. He later gave the site up again to another fall guy: Blake Benthall ("Defcon") . The "Real DPR" is still out there!
Possible, that "Variety Jones" aka "Cimon" and "The Real DPR" are the same person:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=935434

I also can imagine that 1. is right and "The Real DPR" / Variety Jones still framed him at some point, when SR got too much publicity.

Side story: Possible that the hacker Variety Jones found the chatlogs about the hitman stories on Ross' computer and thought "What a fucking asshole. I will teach him how Kingpin wannabees end up"

Best movie title so far: "Variety Jones"

- No holidays in Asia
- No Bitoins
- No internet

You think he knew?

There were no murders...

kthxbai

Did the defense came up to say, that DPR is still out there and earning commissions? I mean, shortly after SR was closed, "The Real DPR" opened the SR2 site, which he also abandoned after leaving it with a fall guy.

Now SR Reloaded is up and running ...

Maybe you should start your boycott at some bitcoinhater forum instead of this one. More chances to find collaborators, I guess.
Then, when you are 1000 or more, you come back and sweep this f.... Bitcoin + this forum away from earth. Good luck.

oh .. and btw ... it doesn't matter where you send your Bitcoins. I am the owner of all existing - and unexisting - priv keys.
I just need to take a look at my enourmous database. I will destroy the earth by creating paperwallets from all of these.

You should risk some small affordable amount and hodl in a secure offline wallet. In 10 years you will either badly regret for not doing it or you will have lost some small affordable amount of money. Its a good time to buy in.
