[Speaker]

I knew Silk Road 2.0 was some sort of honey pot.

Except it's probably not. SR is fine, they just seem to have busted people moderators via the forum, which is on a different server and not as secure. Pretty sure setting up a honeypot like a new SR site would be entrapment, and I don't see why they'd go to the fuss of creating a new site when they had already gained access to the old one. Would've been easier to just keep that running and pick people off gradually.

you are probably thinking of the sheep marketplace.

I don't think that was a honeypot either, but the owner apparently scammed everyone in a longcon.

Sheep Marketplace was definitely not a honeypot. Instead it was being run by a scammer. On the other hand, we have enough proof to believe that SR 2.0 was a honeypot.

What proof is that?

i guess the definition of honeypot is different from what i thought it was.

Nope, I’m afraid to tell you it's not a pot full of honey . What did you think it was?

scammers making a business seem legitimate so that more and more people would join. once they reach what they believe their peak is, they run off with the money.

apparently it's supposed to mean LE or a group of people trying to trap you, but not necessarily a scam.

Ah, yeah, the latter is correct. But I'm also sure that would be entrapment. The Feds had unnoticed access to the initial SR site, so I don't understand why they wouldn't've just kept that running and picked off DPR later and/or installed their own DPR.
