I've read that already somewhere around, one claimed that he didn't wanted btc associated with SR, to be honest I feel the same way.

What's good about theft and the results unfavorable regulatory environments?

How many silkroad clones will there be next month?
Probably a dozen with 11 of them figuring out a way to steal the bitcoins being used from gullible users.
Wouldn't it be more likely that the owner made a human mistake and got caught somehow?
Read the indictment. They are monitoring these forums (and much more), they looked how a guy called "altoid" mentioned SR very early on, he had registered that account with his real email (BTW, Theymos: how did they get the email through which he registered his btctalk account?). So they thoroughly monitored "Ross Ulbricht", and they realized he had the same interests of DPR - they wrote about the same books, liked the same videos... So they started to follow his moves... And they caught him.

Of critical interest?

The real fallout will only become apparent when Hank's team gets the results of their analysis of the bitcoins that have flowed through SR. Then we're all going to find out what "pseudo-anonymous" really means.
Probably a good time to sell, speculation-wise...

uhh, silkroad was a huge part of BTC economy.. its not just the bitcoins that will be dumped, its the impact on the btc economy itself..
It wont take long for several other darknet marketplaces to fill that vacuum.

Well the forum database was dumped one time so they could have used that.
I knew it was a human mistake... thanks for clearing that up, though I don't like the part where the information was extracted from the forum...
>3M USD in BTC, not 3M BTC...
I hope you are right on this one. I wouldn't like the feds to have the power to dump 3m btc, 24k btc can't actually hurt the market...
I wonder what will happen to all of those 3.6 million BTC that was seized.

They won't dump it, they just secured some interest in an up and coming market

He put his email in the thread itself.

I hope his trial (if he gets one) get lots of media coverage. I mean, TV and all. This was no ordinary drug dealer, just read his quotes. It would be a good opportunity to tell all those truths on mainstream media. AFAIK, he has never hurt anyone, but he will probably end up serving more time in jail than rapers.
The problem is he destroyed his "good" reputation if he has been putting hits on people.
Definitely. I wasn't aware of that.

Human error caught up with him.
Living in the US was bad.
Linking personal interests in his sig...
all his mistakes.

Can someone upload the pdf to somewhere else? Damn site doesn't open.

The part where he paid like 1500 coin to get someone hit in Canada and says he has done it before for 80K.
That creeped me out a lot. "I had a clean hit before for $80k before"... Wow.
Plus, its very creepy how he received a picture of the corpse of the canadian guy close to a paper with random numbers he provided.
Finally, the fact they found about him in this forum is the most creepy thing. His bitcointalk.org forum account "altoid" was the reason he got busted.
That is creepy. I didn't know that was happening. This guy definitely needs to go away.
