A new chapter in “The Silk Road Tales and Archives” was posted by @lamoustache On Reddit, this time its about Ross Ulbricht’s “mentor” Variety Jones”:

    This is our take on Variety Jones and a complex story going way back to the legendary cannabis grow site overgrow.com to some more recent events involving a “megabyte megalomaniac” mongoose, an iconic forum administrator and an ex-actor converted in the cannabis seed trade.

Because it isn't a name for a person, or even a dog or any pet. Only stoner parents trying to be original would name their newborn "Variety".

Variety Jones might be "Plural of Mongoose" from various cannabis forums from back in the day (overgrow.com, etc), take a look here:

Talking about this guy/gal?:

The “nob” account, as noted above, was an undercover account controlled by SA Force.  
SA Force had been using the account to communicate with “Dread Pirate Roberts,”
posing as a large - scale drug dealer seeking to do business on Silk Road.  

[AGD]

No, this one: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/08/silk_road_admin_curtis_green_speaks/

Nob account was controlled by this one before his arrest: http://www.dailydot.com/crime/silk-road-confession-steven-sadler-nod/

my money is on that Variety Jones is That mangoose guy/thomas clark....

[bennybong]

I thought vj's identity was already known? He was the owner of some big cannabis seed company, there was a video posted apparently featuring him. He was getting shouted at by some other guy about something.

I know that's not very helpful. I wasn't really paying much attention at the time and I watched the video on mute!

im sure it was on reddit...

[Jybrael]

Wow there seems to be a lot of mystery around this Variety Jones guy....mu money...would have to be on a corrupt DEA official. I mean let's face it...hes been able to get away for so long he must be doing something right...
