Wandererfromthenorth, you are angry and confused. Please read the Blake Benthall Criminal Complaint here for a lollercoaster of hilarity.
SR2 charged for its services. Dr. Blake was not running a free P2P clinic.
Re. "I'm not even sure the majority of the Fake IDs being sold in the SR were real fake IDs in the first place":
Of course fake IDs were fake. Start spending substantially more or substantially less on your medication of choice, the current regiment clearly hampers your reasoning ability.
And you can trust me--I'm a P2P doctor
Re. "If drugs are not being sold safely peacefully online, they are sold in the streets with people robbing and killing each other":
Substitute "loli, shota, guns, hits" for "drugs," and your argument remains just as valid.
TL;DR: The feds don't want drugs being sold, peacefully or otherwise. Blake was the idiot poster child of neckbeard drug trade. Buying a Tesla, I mean, how gay is that?
Monumentally incompetent, astoundingly clueless, doing everything short of screaming "look at me ma, I'm doing it! I'm doing it! Ma!"
The only thing I'm unsure about is if Mr. Benthall is real, or if he's a government agent planted to make "darknet" drug dealers look stoopit
1. By the REAL "fake ID" I meant that the vendors accounts selling fake IDs were not selling anything at all (basically a scammer, there was a lot of that on SR1 by new vendors without reputation), of course fake IDs are fake. By what I gathered about the old SR, fake Id and a lot of other shit was mostly like the sites selling hitman services. A scam.
But again, that fake ID shit is beyond my main point.
2. I haven't been following Blake Benthall case much because as I said to you earlier operating a SR version 2.0 after the first SR bust was pretty stupid, as you pointed out before and now also. So with all the "the idiot asked for it" argument, I have nothing to say against that.
My arguments were mostly for SR1 in general. Since I wasn't referring to Blake Benthall and SR2 much (SR2 wasn't even the most used darknet site ), I probably shouldn't have him included in my posts, that is correct.
PS: SR (at least version 1) didn't even allow guns, hitman scams, or child porn ("loli"?).
