3. They busted it mid October and have been running a honey pot ever since.
"[After saying "OHAI, can I b admin 2?!"] the investigator was a paid staff member, receiving 16 payments in Bitcoins totalling about $32,189 based on current exchange rates. ... With that level of authorized access—and with communications directly with Benthall—the FBI and HSI would have been able to gather evidence directly from the site’s server and then use other measures to de-anonymize the individuals associated with it. It’s possible that the investigators may have allowed the site to continue to operate for a period of time to act as a “honeypot” to gain further information about transactions being passed through the marketplace. According to the criminal complaint, "foreign law enforcement authorities" imaged the Silk Road 2.0 server on May 30—which means the site was allowed to continue to operate for five more months while the FBI, HSI, and partner law enforcement organizations gathered data." |

^Less talkee, more buyee, Roundeye!  I should not be feeding the troll but I have to say I like your posted images. But please try to avoid reposting images, it just goes to show that you are lazy and not working on new ones. You are not paid for reposting images, anyone can do that. Dear finance aficionado calling yourself mooncake: While the thought of exposing you to art--watching a young simpleton from some God-forsaken backwater blossom into an urbane aesthete under my strict tutelage--is not untempting, the realist in me insists that I not throw my pearls at your trotters. May I instead suggest a night class at your local church or government sponsored adult education facility? Or a nice coloring book? |

Are you bragging or just advertising? Grampa! You're awake and bothering people again. That satyriasis excuse ain't foolin' nobody--you got yourself all hopped up on Viagra again! Gross, grampa! Stop being gross.  |

Yes, hungry girls will work unsafe, degrading jobs because need trumps everything else. What point are you trying to make? That we should return to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory days? Sweatshops? Child labor?
Or are you asking for greater regulation of farm equipment safety?
Yes, factory girls work in less than ideal environments because like all of us, they take what they feel is the best of their available options. You seem to think that taking options away from people helps them. That doesn't make sense. That's what government regulation does: takes options away from people. So you try to argue that employers are forced to make workers slave away in death-trap work places because they have to compete with other employers who do the same and if only Mommy Government could disrupt the Nash equilibrium, then everyone would be better off. You are not making the right comparisons. Governments do not give people better options. A growing economy that gives workers more choices for employment gives people better options. Sustainably growing economies are the result of capital formation (savings), innovation and risk-taking on the part of entrepreneurs. Were State-owned factories is the Soviet union models for efficiency and safety? To ask is to answer. I tried appealing to your conscience--my mistake, you're smarter than those lily-livered liberals. Let me be more honest and direct: "Mommy governments" are not run by the poor. Not by bleeding hearts trying to give stuff away to the great unwashed. They're run by sane, pragmatic middle and upper class, who know that unless the poor are given a basic minimum wage and humane working conditions, said poor tend to get not just unpleasant to look at, but desperate. Desperate enough to do the rich serious harm. The poor, though weaker and generally dumber than the rich, are much more numerous, and have become progressively more so due to basic free market tenets such as "money flows into smarter hands" and, yes, shameless breeding. Shit was brewing around the world. Worker unrest. Revolts--Communist, National Socialist. All predictably capitalizing on collapsing economies and crashing stock markets. Laissez-faire had to adapt or die. TL;DR: A few minor concessions were made and ...Here we are |

Bearish. Trade in illicit goods and services is one of the truly unique uses for cryptocurrency. That people involved in the trade seem to be unable to avoid capture casts doubt on the viability of dark marketplaces, and is likely to get their customers to reconsider just how safe they can expect to be.
How is that "unique?" Unique means one of a kind. If what you're saying is true, there was literally no trade in illicit goods and services before cryptocurrency because that is "unique" to cryptocurrency. If anything, the nonrepudiability of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies makes it, at best, no better for selling illicit goods and services than plain old paper currency, which unlike cryptocurrency, has no memory. Good point. Except for minor difficulties like anonymously delivering paper money to an undisclosed [recipient's] address. |

If a person was going to operate on the dark net, it would make sense to
a) never brag or talk about anything to do with it , ever , in RL, or on the internets, even using a pseudonym
b) never use any RL indentifiers ever
c) use cash bought throw away notebooks, cycle for new every x weeks
d) use TOR but also through a fresh temporary OS live install from a USB , i.e TAILs or live linux distro - close down after every use
e) never use their own internet connection or one tied to you in anyway (even better super dark satellite phone in a moving car on motorway)
f) have a distributed distribution network (the weakest point and really to pull off needs organised connections)
g) create brand names but cycle their darksite operations (better yet use openbazzar etc in future)
h) be paranoid and reclusive
i) not get involved unless they have super discipline
... j) after following (a) through (j) for any length of time, going to jail will seem like a lifestyle upgrade. Yes dear <snip> Are you an aging queen IRL?  Thanks for the boss opsec advice, tho. Very valuable. Ever thought of writing a book? |

Still don't get why people buy drugs online.
What happened to ringing friends, asking for a contact, ringing a dealer & meeting them in a car park or some shit.
Who wants to wait to get their stuff delivered.

... ...Bitcoin is not a currency and it will not be for a long time. Most important properties of Bitcoin: digital, no counterparty, no monetary policy. Bitcoin is the modern incarnation of precious metals, a kind of super silver... In the sense that it's an outmoded anachronism with rapidly dropping USD price? Sure. If you think an asset with those three properties (Who the fuck needs those, amirite?) is not desirable enough to warrant a rising price (as has happened the past years), too bad for you. Keep stuck in your 2014 view.  Sure. We've seen retro crazes before. Who knows, maybe old-timey digital currencies like Bitcoin will be the pinnacle of hipster cool one day  |

No, it's not. The reasoning is that you could send your enemy a package full of coke, then call the cops on him. Doesn't hold up.
The reasoning is you get cuffed, printed, and put in lockup. Then they talk to you and you talk to them |

It's not the buying of drugs online that puzzles me. Seems to beat the alternative of having to deal with potentially hazardous interactions with drug dealers on the street.
What escapes me is how they solve the problem of having to provide a shipping address at some point. That seems like the real weak point to me, as a buyer. (Yes, I know, PO boxes exist, but to my knowledge, renting one usually requires some form of ID).
Anyone knows how the actual customers solve this dilemma? Hoping they stay below the threshold for being targeted by LE?
Almost all of the vendors on SR demanded PGP so "only" they are in property of your adress and not SR . But wasn't the point of the last SR bust at least that a number of the largest marketplace vendors were found out as well? Including their customer data, one would assume? The guy was (allegedly) helping DPR run SR. And didn't walk away after SR got owned. What was he thinking?! |

There is nothing to solve, if the package is stopped you can simply deny having ordered it. Case dropped. Lol, you have absolutely no clue how this works IRL, amirite? |
