Topic: Silkroad closed down. Owner Arrested. - page 2. (Read 9649 times)

I had sold most of my btc yesterday when the trend was failing but still held some and lost money thanks to some trolls on here posting "the news is fake" , "look at the shadows and the camel", "DPR is making a joke about the government shut down", etc. Fuck you!

Um.... in what world does the USG owe $100 trillion?

And in what world does 26,000 BTC = 1 BTC?

Pretty bullish to aim for 100 trillion dollars.

This.

There doesn't seem to be just one mistake, but a few. Seems there was a pattern of not being able to keep his identity unknown.

Really bizarre that someone so successful and so paranoid did something so utterly stupid.  Hubris?  He got away with it for 30 months so he figured he was invulnerable.  In Iraq units generally suffer higher than normal casualties in the first and last month of a deployment.  The early casualties are due to inexperience and the later ones due to overconfidence.

Ross William Ulbricht, indicted for allegedly running the online contraband marketplace Silk Road, wasn't above asking for a little programming help when he needed it.

Even the finest programmers could use a little help from their friends on Stack Overflow now and then. The site, which invites users to ask and answer one another’s questions about specific coding problems, has become a global hub for software engineers, catering to pros and amateurs alike. Silk Road mastermind “Dread Pirate Roberts,” it seems, was no exception.

According to the criminal complaint against Ross William Ulbricht, the man who allegedly ran the vast online drug marketplace from his San Francisco apartment, he ventured humbly onto the site in March 2012 to ask a couple of friendly questions. The first one, it seems, was relatively innocuous, if a bit unorthodox. But a second query struck FBI investigators as rather incriminating, in retrospect: “How can I connect to a Tor ****** service using curl in php?”, the user asked. Silk Road is, of course, a Tor ****** service—perhaps the world’s most famous one at that.
But here’s the facepalm-worthy part: According to the criminal complaint, Ulbricht posted the question using his own real name. Less than one minute later, he changed his username to “frosty.” And then, one assumes, banged his head against a hard wall several times.

According to the complaint, the Stack Overflow post served as key evidence for authorities trying to link Ulbricht to Silk Road. From the complaint:

Based on forensic analysis of the Silk Road Web Server, I know that the computer code ... includes a customized PHP strip based on 'curl' that is functionally very similar to the computer code described in Ulbricht's posting on Stack Overflow, and includes several lines of code that are identical to lines of code quoted in the posting.
Oh, and the encryption key on the Silk Road server ended with the substring "frosty@frosty." Whoops.
Frosty’s account lives on at Stack Overflow, where you can inspect his code and pass judgment on his chops if you’re so inclined. And while this won’t appear anywhere in the criminal charges against Ulbricht, the court of computer-programmer opinion may duly note that he asked two questions on the site, but didn’t take the trouble to answer anyone else’s.

Any recent major transactions that show the feds have actually taken the funds?

seems, no. :-)

Or I'm incredibly bullish!

Honey trap or Dead Man's Switch? Time will tell...

I think I'm cancelling my Silk Road speedball subscription for now 

Three onions domains are closed:

But another two silkroad's clones are up:

Edit: links removed, is it logical in this light? By the links you can get FBI's jpg. And two unknown clones of silk.

You clearly don't have good comprehension of the liabilities the US government is facing...

Of Course, "Sell on good News!"

fund the cia black ops.

If they held onto them for a few years, they could pay off the entire national debt with them!

or by huge sales amounts. which i believe can be confiscated wallets as written in the report. why not sell and pay off part of us govt debt?

So the crash was caused by good news?  lol  

I think they are so FUCKING PROUD of having shut down SR that they couldn't resist to leave a camel there. "Hey we did it! Fuck you all!"
