FBI raids alleged online drug market Silk Road, arrests owner

RWU / aka DPR
The best way to change a government is to change the minds of the governed, however. To that end, I am creating an economic simulation to give people a first-hand experience of what it would be like to live in a world without the systemic use of force.

Might find it more challenging now, but at least he tried and I respect that.

Er, that summary on LINKEDIN. For real? Kind of gives the game away. I can't believe I just read that.

Seems like quite a dumb person to be hosting the largest drugs website, ok he had security features etc but from the get-go he kind of.. left a fucking huge trail and made a shit load of mistakes? I don't know, I guess its lessons for others to learn now. Atlantis though.. is still bugging me, definitely a police operation otherwise how were they tipped off? :/

Oh they are. I'm currently, while being on here, talking to four ther people through various channels who are all incredibly pissed off. The number of people who have just ordered today is also astonishing, almost like its known to be the busiest day. Well, I guess they did know. They controlled the fucking site for a year.

ordered something that was apparently dispatched yesterday, which i'll probably still get. But I didn't get to FE. And they know my address.

am I being paranoid for expecting some gun weilding dealer to kick through my door demanding money? = S

Im pretty sure said dealer is long gone, hes had all his private messages, transactions in and out of his account etc monitored for the past year +, I think you will be the last thing on his mind. I imagine a lot of operations are currently completely fucking off elsewhere.
 
Well now that hes been caught I hope he has some money aside for legal defense and this will be a drawn out, high profile case that may highlight the problems that the drug war creates, DPR at least seems academically smart. This is me being hopefull here, he probably won't even get a fair trail and hes probably lost a lot of his money or he might just plead guilty who knows. It will be interesting.
 
Haha, I just had a thought, quick someone start a kickstarter for his legal defense, would be funny just see how much we could raise. I mean without out DPR who would have got you all those weird and wonderful drugs, come one we can do it BLers.
FREE DPR
 
Call me oblivious but I never realized such a thing existed. I just thought they had RC sites. Never would have imagined that people actually bought drugs like cannabis and such off the internet. Seems weird to me.

The dealer didnt get his coins, and presumably you have lost them as the site was seized, but at least you will get your drugs. Unless it was a mega-order that you made, as others have said i doubt you have anything to worry about.

I actually thought that as well, but I think all assets will be seized = no money. Anyway I think the case could have been a lot less, but a large portion of his court documents is relating to the fact that he hired to kill someone, asked to see a picture etc and all the evidence is there...

Did he sort of throw himself into the fire though? Someone was threatening to release information on customers and a lot of potential vendors, which I guess is very bad as they would have "jumped ship" that he asked to have him killed. Its going to be interesting anyway.
