He will never be back.I hope he writes an autobiography to enlighten what has happened.

What I know is, he is a Swiss guy.

So I've got this trip planned, to the Big Apple. Golly gee and shucks, I shure am looking forward to seeing the big city 'n stuff. I'm not sure exactly where I'm gonna be staying when I get there, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of them 'state of the art' facilities, if you know what I mean.

I really never thought it possible that I would be in a position to have to say that no, I didn't architect anything, I was too busy being in Wandsworth fucking prison. Life, she deals you some strange curves sometimes, don't she.

This one time, I accidentally built a large, high-tech, totally bitchin' modified atmosphere, high lumens cannabis grow operation above Choy's Chinese Food restaurant in Surbiton, Surrey, Merry Olde England.

Now, while I was building it, I also needed to decide what to grow in it. Having access to literally millions of seeds representing over 3,000 strains of ganja in my seed fridges, it was indeed a dilemma.

Speaking of misconceptions, a few folks seem to think I have something to do with varietyjones.com. Nope, now that's just someone fucking about for the sheer joy of fucking about, I'm thinking. I looked at it once about a week ago when I found out about it, and yeah, it made me giggle. Someones got panache, eh.

He's back

see:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Joel+Oleson%22%2B%22Thomas+Clark%22&t=ffsb

If you look at the yahoo cache of Joel's vid page a Thomas Clark video is listed in the sidebar( https://www.youtube.com/user/JungleMasterUSA/videos (Thomas Clark)).

That's probably why duck duck go was hitting your search. Youtube was linking "Jungle Trekking" (Elephant Jungle Trekking in Thailand) with Thomas Clark... this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwM9Ygs9QeA. If you search for "Jungle trekking"+"Thomas Clark" you get more non-related links from youtube linking to thejunglemaster.

Just look at the page views for the respective videos. Family man has upper 5322 views, and junglemaster has 4993 (*had*  4,962). See the ... in Duration: ... by Thomas Clark 4,962? It means Thomas Clark(junglemaster (another innocent bystander)) had a video in the side bar cached with those results. You idiot.

Looks like a missionary based out of the Amazon. Pretty sure it's a miss.

Don't you think this slack-jawed lynch mob hair-trigger finger pointing mentality is kind of unseemly, and *slightly* unfair on said guys above? I mean, the guy you're fingering has kids and all and doesn't at all fit the profile and the other dude, who threw your result, is a frikken missionary!!!

Well, they said "Through a source ...". So, they didn't hack.

That's pretty good journalism, but they're just journalists and really shouldn't be hacking into someone's emails? But if I'm honest I'm glad all that info has been published publicly so VJ has a chance to gtfo of Koh Chang before the feds turn up! I mean the evidence is pretty damning. Unless of course he is an informant

I've been to Koh Chang 3 times, I love the fact I could have been chilling with the legend that is Variety Jones... Good luck Mr. Clarke!

Smed worked closely with DPR, and communicated with the site leader more than anyone else, under what evidence suggests is one of his pseudonyms, “Charger”, according to TorChat logs released during Ulbricht’s trial.

Through a source, Motherboard has gained access to emails sent and received by one of those characters, who is perhaps best known by the pseudonym Variety Jones. This reporter has seen first hand the contents of this email account, and verified that it is legitimate.

The information in these emails led to two names: Mike Wattier and Thomas Clark.

Variety Jones

Variety Jones joined Silk Road in 2011, according to site archives maintained by the security researcher Runa Sandvik. He was known as a vendor of marijuana seeds, and his aversion to the failed War on Drugs was clear from his postings on the site forums.

“I'm here to break the back of prohibition, to make the jack-booted thugs from the DEA roll up their tents and sneak off into the night, and to do what I can to ensure a future where 65 year old MS patients aren't shot by SWAT teams during drug raids because they suspect there was a fucking plant growing in the back room,” he wrote.

But in private conversations with Ulbricht, he acted as a penetration tester, financial advisor, and, in the site creator's own words, a “mentor.” Variety Jones even suggested the now infamous moniker Dread Pirate Roberts, often shortened to DPR, which Ulbricht adopted.

Variety Jones was also the one who suggested Ulbricht’s first attempted murder-for-hire, which targeted an employee (although, it's important to note, didn't actually result in anybody being killed).

“[He] was the biggest and strongest willed character I had met through the site thus far,” Ulbricht wrote in a 2011 journal entry.

Earlier this year, an independent researcher known as “La Moustache” published an extensive investigation into the history of Variety Jones, tracing digital footprints of the character back to pre-Silk Road cannabis forums.

Based on that research, Motherboard contacted several people who may have known Variety Jones in real life.

One of those contacted provided an email address for the individual suspected of being behind the Variety Jones alias, which, through a search of public online records, led to a website owned by the same person. Linked to this website was another email address, which included the name “varietyjones....”

That phone number is part of pop culture. Mike Jones... a rapper who used to include his number in songs and whatnot. That address is fake as well. 330 1st Avenue ... 330 1... 3301. Probably poking fun at Cicada 3301?
