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?

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

That's whats most frightening; anyone who manages to get those coins has a chance of doing so with little risk of being caught. I believe this is only
one of the attacks he will have in regards to that wallet. When the story spreads, there's going to be a lot more lunatics after those funds.

I don't really think that this is a big threat to Ulbricht. A man as rich as him, friggin US$70 mil, would have gotten a lot of these kind of threats before. If that guy even touches anyone related to Ulbricht, he is a dead man.

WOW, talk about insult to injury. I think the FBI has jumped the shark on this one, they've lost control, lost their swagger, their power. They need to leave these people alone because the FBI is Fucked Beyond Incompetence on this case!

I believe that could be truth and i am not surprised by the fact FBI agents do that. FBI agents are not saints and there is lot of rotten apples as anywhere.

and that fbi agent has all the info on his fingertips. Just a matter of playing his cards right.

Cops and robbers are two sides of the same coin.  Their thinking is not too far removed from one another.  They both have the same goals in mind; they just approach those goals from different angles.  Cops become cops because they enjoy the danger, the violence, and the thrill of the chase....and so do the robbers.  Doesn't surprise me at all...they get away with far, far more than one would believe.  That's why we need a decentralized system...our governments are corrupt beyond any repair.

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.”

I don't want to believe this. It is not this the behavior that must have an civil servant. If he has evidence of this fact he can process them in the court and send them to jail (and there maybe there will be them whom will talk to not do the jail). But to threatening that is excessively. Then if all the story would be known (as it is actually) he cannot do nothing even if them can be guilty. Because there will be them to process him and maybe even win the the court case. The conclusion: no only lack of money but even punishment.

The thing I'm still wondering is how did this wallet with 300k bitcoins only get noticed by this one FBI agent during the SR investigation?

Assuming this is true and that it really exists, does the fact that it's encrypted make it invisible to everyone else? The largest wallet I've seen online supposedly is 150k bitcoins.

Was Ross' 144k bitcoin wallet not encrypted? Was the 300k one the true safe haven? If so why would he have so many in his 144k wallet that could easily be discovered.

I'm still skeptical of the whole thing between this and VJ being in prison during the running of SR.

Nice! 300K btc, I can live like a king with that.  Can't blame the FBI agent if indeed its true. I'm not surprise he named himself diamond.
