Just to clarify, I wasn't talking about anything that had to do with his idea or what he said. I was talking about the Deep-web in general, and what actually happens on The Silkroad, I have no idea where he gets his info from.
(I don't buy from these sites, I just browse them, and have read articles about them)
There was a vendor from Silkroad named Tony56 or something, and he ran off with $36,000 worth of BTC; held funds. He did it during a holiday or something so it looked like he was just really busy and couldn't send his orders out. Since then Silkroad has been encouraging everyone to use their automated Escrow system, but even before then they had the Escrow system. It actually is all anonymous, there's no way to even see the email Tony56 used, and he got away with over $36,000 in BTC. You have to pay for a vendor's permit on that site to in order to sell things, so not just anybody can come on and sell things.
The mysteries of the deep-web.....
