I want to guess that it is someone outside of the FBI making threats, but they have access to someone inside to get intel from.

I think Variety Jones just wants this corrupt FBI agent was busted by an Internal Investigation or something like that.
No way a stupid corrupt cop could be a threat to such an exquisite mind as VJ.

I think $70 million is enough money to kill anyone if you are corrupted bastard like some people.
Some poor men were killed for much less so it is not so strange to receive death threats over such fortune.
But in reality I don't think it is for real, I see it more like a tool to scary Ulbricht and nothing more.

I am interested to see if anything ever comes of this, although I have my doubts about the story being true.


I think a few years down the line when everything has popped out it will be one of the world's weirdest and most epic tales of intrigue, even more so than it is now. No idea about this particular detail but no doubt there's plenty more to come.

I think his story might be an effort to install reasonable doubt in Ross's case.

It also appears that VOJ was claiming to be in Jail as of when he was supposedly helping Ross with SR....

Scary to know the law enforcers are so easily drawn by criminal behaviour if they see a profit.


Mr Jones himself sums this up nicely - http://myplanetganja.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11022&start=150#p144187

The gist is that if you have sublime computer skills you can go to silicon valley and make millions or work for the government for peanuts. I guess plenty of people who took the peanut option might be open to going rogue what with all that extra power.

If they touched his family this guy would be easily destroyed...his life would vanish. I don't think Ulbrecht has much to worry about.

NEVER underestimate the pigs.

Scary to know the law enforcers are so easily drawn by criminal behaviour if they see a profit. Blackmail and threatening to kill of a family are sick thoughts for any sane person. Hope they catch this bastard and lock him up for good. Also hope this is just a lunatic and not the standard profiling for all FBI agents.

I don't think VJ himself was ever threatened, though he did not trust meeting the agent for fear of his life. If it's true I hope this cop gets busted.

What the actual fuck ..  Shocked



Diamond, which is believed to be an online alias of an unknown corrupt FBI agent, has been threatening to kill Silk Road Architect Variety Jones and torture Ross Ulbricht’s mother and sister to obtain the password to an encrypted bitcoin wallet containing over 300,000 BTC or US$70 million which previously belonged to Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road.

Diamond believed that Variety Jones, with his involvement in creating the Silk Road could help him gain access to the funds. “He wants me to move to Singapore, where he can set up a safe house and know that I'm clear of the clutches of the DOJ,” claimed Jones on the MyPlantGanja forum.

Furthermore, Jones claims that Diamond provided classified information about the Silk Road investigation ahead of time, specifically about former special agents Carl Mark Force IV and Shaun Bridges, to U.S. law enforcement officials charged for moving the seized funds during the Silk Road investigation to their private bitcoin and bank accounts. Since only high ranking members of the FBI have the power and authority over this type of information, the information on the two agents convinced Jones to believe that Diamond is an FBI official.

He continued:

Quote
“I wasn't taking him serious in the beginning, and even once I realized he was who he said, and he was amassing millions of dollars in ill gotten gains, it wasn't until he started obsessing on the kidnappings, that I realized I had a lunatic on my hands. A lunatic highly placed in the FBI, with a massive off the books private budget, who thought that kidnapping and torture were the solution to his problems, and he starting to get a few other screws loose, as well. I do know how to pick my enemies.”
