FBI Agent Threatens to Kill Silk Road Architect, Ulbricht’s Family for Bitcoin !

[OmegaStarScream]

What the actual fuck .. 



Diamond, which is believed to be an online alias of an unknown corrupt FBI agent, has been threatening to kill Silk Road Architect Variety Jones and torture Ross Ulbricht’s mother and sister to obtain the password to an encrypted bitcoin wallet containing over 300,000 BTC or US$70 million which previously belonged to Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road.

Diamond believed that Variety Jones, with his involvement in creating the Silk Road could help him gain access to the funds. “He wants me to move to Singapore, where he can set up a safe house and know that I'm clear of the clutches of the DOJ,” claimed Jones on the MyPlantGanja forum.

Furthermore, Jones claims that Diamond provided classified information about the Silk Road investigation ahead of time, specifically about former special agents Carl Mark Force IV and Shaun Bridges, to U.S. law enforcement officials charged for moving the seized funds during the Silk Road investigation to their private bitcoin and bank accounts. Since only high ranking members of the FBI have the power and authority over this type of information, the information on the two agents convinced Jones to believe that Diamond is an FBI official.

He continued:

“I wasn't taking him serious in the beginning, and even once I realized he was who he said, and he was amassing millions of dollars in ill gotten gains, it wasn't until he started obsessing on the kidnappings, that I realized I had a lunatic on my hands. A lunatic highly placed in the FBI, with a massive off the books private budget, who thought that kidnapping and torture were the solution to his problems, and he starting to get a few other screws loose, as well. I do know how to pick my enemies.”

If they touched his family this guy would be easily destroyed...his life would vanish. I don't think Ulbrecht has much to worry about.

I don't think VJ himself was ever threatened, though he did not trust meeting the agent for fear of his life. If it's true I hope this cop gets busted.

Scary to know the law enforcers are so easily drawn by criminal behaviour if they see a profit. Blackmail and threatening to kill of a family are sick thoughts for any sane person. Hope they catch this bastard and lock him up for good. Also hope this is just a lunatic and not the standard profiling for all FBI agents.

Mr Jones himself sums this up nicely - http://myplanetganja.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11022&start=150#p144187

The gist is that if you have sublime computer skills you can go to silicon valley and make millions or work for the government for peanuts. I guess plenty of people who took the peanut option might be open to going rogue what with all that extra power.

I am interested to see if anything ever comes of this, although I have my doubts about the story being true.

I think his story might be an effort to install reasonable doubt in Ross's case.

It also appears that VOJ was claiming to be in Jail as of when he was supposedly helping Ross with SR....

I think a few years down the line when everything has popped out it will be one of the world's weirdest and most epic tales of intrigue, even more so than it is now. No idea about this particular detail but no doubt there's plenty more to come.

I think $70 million is enough money to kill anyone if you are corrupted bastard like some people.
Some poor men were killed for much less so it is not so strange to receive death threats over such fortune.
But in reality I don't think it is for real, I see it more like a tool to scary Ulbricht and nothing more.

[Betwrong]

I think Variety Jones just wants this corrupt FBI agent was busted by an Internal Investigation or something like that.
No way a stupid corrupt cop could be a threat to such an exquisite mind as VJ.

[Panadacoin]

I want to guess that it is someone outside of the FBI making threats, but they have access to someone inside to get intel from.

The question is: Who is actually using this tool?
Diamond or Variety Jones?

I guess only time will tell.
Let's wait and see if VJ turns himself in (and to who   )

[Mickeyb]

Damn this is some complete craziness right now. I think this is turning into quote a plot and this would be a 10 better scenario for a movie in my opinion, than the Mt. Gox story that they were talking about filming!

[Kprawn]

You look at things like this and you think... Is this a movie? This cannot be real.. until you become the target of this. Ulbricht and BurtW family has been drawn into the dark web of lies.

We think we are safe, when law enforcement cross our paths, but it's not true for everyone. Every organization has their bad apples, and you are just lucky, if your path do not cross

one of them. One or two bad apples, do not spoil the whole basket... Our local police force, also has some bad apples, but the majority are good people, with good intentions.  

[christycalhoun]

I certainly hope this is not true. I hope there are some good people within the FBI that will conduct a thorough FBI investigation so nothing happens to his family.

70m usd would change everyone...

[LFC_Bitcoin]

This is insane. I'd like to hope it is all idle threats. I know some Feds can be corrupt but surely nobody would carry out this threat, surely?

[gogxmagog]

I guess if VJ is unable to dox this agent than he knows how to cover his ass, but there are only so many agents working the case. Is there such a thing as "internal affairs" in the FBI? If they have a rouge agent I'm sure they'd like to shut him down. That is assuming the whole beurae isn't corrupt

[dothebeats]

Eh, for someone so crooked and corrupt would surely carry out these threats for money.

There are millions of dollars at stake so there are some people that would go to extreme measures to get that money.
