Does anyone know if PlutoPete won his case to reclaim his Bitcoin from the FBI? It looks pretty clear to me that he and anyone else that had not broken the law should have had their Bitcoin returned before this sale.

PlutoPete, if you're out there, please PM me.


This is an important case to watch because essentially it is a question of how far can the FBI reach to enforce a local law.



There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

sounds like a sting operation

offering known drug related funds, after cash is sent first so DOJ can see that a transaction has occured. DOJ will then knock on your door

When my brother was a kid he saved up his money to buy a clock radio. Back then, as a kid, it took him a while to do it.

He still had that radio when he left high school and went to college. He shared an apartment with a bunch of potheads.

One day the cops raided the place and found drugs. They took my brother's clock radio. He didn't have any drugs in his room.

He asked for it back but it never happened.

That is hilarious. Follow the "story." They show all these videos but no sound or background information. What exactly were they trading? I am pretty sure they had stacks of bitcoin in those briefcases.  Cheesy

Sounds like a scheme to get donations. I'm really surprised this thread isn't jumping to that conclusion immediatelly considering every other post: "I heard the wind blowing last night and thought I saw a siren ... therefore I'm pretty sure the feds have control of SR, WHAT DO YOU THINK?!?1"

I had seeds that I bought from him some time ago. It is his own strain called Devon Maid. I planted the seed shortly after I've heard that the guy got arrested. I am going to smoke some to stay here with Pete morally. I spoke to him few times on SR, he was extremely nice and helped me, newbie out a bunch.

So basically no body knows what happened to PlutoPete? He could have been tossed in jail, or worse, and nobody knows?
