STFU, moron...

Ross' "friend" confirms that Ross has a psychology degree from Penn State.

This fact seems to have been conveniently omitted from all other media coverage.

This is a fucking psy-op.

Well, SR is mostly illegal drugs, but has anyone ever bought from http://www.superdrugsaver.com/ ? They are mostly legal drugs, but some may need a prescription.

You're right, that was poor wording on my part.  "Used in a way in which he did not intend" is what I meant.


I don't remember exactly.  But it wasn't difficult.  Just a simple Google search.  I'm not in the habit of going all "internet detective" on random forum posters.  But I remember the comment piqued my interest because it seemed disingenuous.  The picture confirmed this belief.  I don't remember the username.  It may or may not have been 'altoid'.  It may or may not have even been posted by him.  But I remember the picture.  I know the reason I remember the picture.  And I'm not the only one who can make this connection.  All I'm saying is that there is more going on here than is obvious at first glance.  I felt like I needed to make this known, so that perhaps it might help others who are trying to piece together exactly what it is.

Hi Benjamin, please excuse me but I don't get a point: you said you noticed him on these forum(s) and, googling around you found his picture, the one you posted. Apart from the funny mouth, I wonder how were you able to match a username (altoid if I recall well) with that picture? And where exactly did you find it?
Thanks, cheers.

I don't get it. What is wrong with this photo? How could this photo be used "against him"? All I can see is somewhat unflattering but otherwise utterly mundane photo. You are talking in riddles.

Hmmm.  So who wants to go 50/50 on a tinfoil-hat manufacturing business?  Seems more lucrative every day.

lol .....joining you 

lol OP atleast read the entire warrant request, then you may learn enough stuff to move onto investigate.

dont say you know little about the case then suddenly say you know this massive secret that should not be mentioned. hinting that it proves ulbrich is not DPR..

learn to research and not to try getting 5 minutes of fame with a troll story. the whole DPR is a monika passed down to each new website mod of silk road, lol ulbrich has been linked to SR since 2011, so he isn't just some unwitting dupe that was just hired to network monitor a website.

again learn to research

that being said i think this OP has gone a few days with out his favourite plant, thus now trying to use his grey matter for some other purpose to keep his mind off the fact he can no longer get any. by coming up with silly idea's

now if you really want a conspiracy theory here is one for you:
you were adopted, your real name is Kal-el, now go research into your real parents and the destiny they wanted you to aspire too.

*gets popcorn and pulls up a chair*

Let's just say that I really, really don't want to make this post.  But I feel like I have to.

For the record, I've never been to Silk Road.  I've never consumed or dealt illegal drugs.  I've never met Ross Ulbricht.

Since I believe that this forum has been compromised as a platform of free information exchange, for some time, I fully expect this to be deleted or moved.  I've gone ahead and made a copy elsewhere.

For the last several years, I've been privy to some inside information on a few public events.  I've never mentioned most of them publicly.  They are simply too crazy to believe.  Like I said, I'd rather not be discussing this one either.



The first time I saw this picture of Ross Ulbricht was long before his arrest.  I had noticed him on these forums, based on some comment he had made, and Googled around and ran across his photo.  The photo told me all I needed to know.  I made a mental note, dismissed him as a troll, and forgot about it.

Shortly before the Silk Road bust, I made this post, which I think is relevant.

The second time I saw the photo of Ulbricht was when news of the Silk Road bust broke.  The photo jogged my memory.  I knew I had seen it before.  And I knew the reason such a comical photo was being used so prominently.  I was still not sure, however, exactly who Ross Ulbricht was, or what his involvement was.  I intended to wait until his eventual trial to decide, though I expected there would be some kind of plea deal, and not end up being a trial at all.

However, when Silk Road users such as this one started coming forward with their own information and experiences, corroborating what I suspected, I felt that I would have to say something.  I sent a message to one of them, trying to get some more info on what they thought might be going on.  And now that some more irregularities are beginning to come out, I need to throw in some of what I know.

Here's what I can add to this, for now.  Ross Ulbricht is not who he claims to be.  This photo of him is not only altered, but staged.  I have gone back and forth, considering whether he could simply be an unwitting dupe in this, whether someone could have convinced him to pose for a photo in a way that could be used against him.  But considering that the photo is not only staged, but altered as well, I have to assume that he is actively involved in what is, at the very least, an elaborate hoax.  Now that others have come to the same conclusion, I can confirm that I believe this to be the case as well, based on my own evidence.

Perhaps I will disclose more at a future date, but I think that's good for now.
