Let's just say that I really, really don't want to make this post. But I feel like I have to.
For the record, I've never been to Silk Road. I've never consumed or dealt illegal drugs. I've never met Ross Ulbricht.
Since I believe that this forum has been compromised as a platform of free information exchange, for some time, I fully expect this to be deleted or moved. I've gone ahead and made a copy
elsewhere.
For the last several years, I've been privy to some inside information on a few public events. I've never mentioned most of them publicly. They are simply too crazy to believe. Like I said, I'd rather not be discussing this one either.
The first time I saw this picture of Ross Ulbricht was long before his arrest. I had noticed him on these forums, based on some comment he had made, and Googled around and ran across his photo. The photo told me all I needed to know. I made a mental note, dismissed him as a troll, and forgot about it.
Shortly before the Silk Road bust, I made
this post, which I think is relevant.
The second time I saw the photo of Ulbricht was when news of the Silk Road bust broke. The photo jogged my memory. I knew I had seen it before. And I knew the reason such a comical photo was being used so prominently. I was still not sure, however, exactly who Ross Ulbricht was, or what his involvement was. I intended to wait until his eventual trial to decide, though I expected there would be some kind of plea deal, and not end up being a trial at all.
However, when Silk Road users such as
this one started coming forward with their own information and experiences, corroborating what I suspected, I felt that I would have to say something. I sent a
message to one of them, trying to get some more info on what they thought might be going on. And now that
some more irregularities are beginning to come out, I need to throw in some of what I know.
Here's what I can add to this, for now. Ross Ulbricht is not who he claims to be. This photo of him is not only altered, but staged. I have gone back and forth, considering whether he could simply be an unwitting dupe in this, whether someone could have convinced him to
pose for a photo in a way that could be used against him. But considering that the photo is not only staged, but altered as well, I have to assume that he is actively involved in what is, at the very least, an elaborate hoax. Now that others have come to the same conclusion, I can confirm that I believe this to be the case as well, based on my own evidence.
Perhaps I will disclose more at a future date, but I think that's good for now.
