Son of a BITCH! He handed over his account info!? Or had his password stored in plaintext?

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (26 children)

i like how the police used "plz"

its also possible they were able to get the information off of his computer. Once they have established probable cause of a crime you don't have many rights left. Or of course, maybe he got Ross Ulbricht'd and tackled with his laptop open.

As in LE forced him to hand over his pw?

More than likely he is FULLY cooperating. As in please do send me to prison to get ass raped.....here is my password how can i help.

He pleaded not guilty. He's not talking

that's arraignment, where everyone usually pleads not guilty while they figure out the case. were he co-operating he wouldn't be pleading guilty there either (its actually the opposite).

The plea bargain comes months after your initial not guilty plea. Nobody pleads guilty at first because then you don't get to use bargaining chips like being willing to cooperate or being willing to risk a trial.

This doesn't make any sense. How are orders being marked shipped today if he's already in custody? This is all very confusing.. LE arrests him and it goes viral public, but LE still "ships" orders while everybody know he's busted? People are obviously going to be prepared in the next few days for a CD due to it all going public. I just don't understand LE's motive here on still "shipping" out orders. They must hope most people don't read this and bank on accepting the package? No idea lol.

That isn't how that works. Any competent attorney will have their client plead not guilty at their arraignment. It keeps the avenues of conversation open to eventually develop a plea bargain. He could easily be pleading not guilty and spewing everything he has.

And that's why I use a random pw generator that itself is pw protected and just copy & paste into the login screen. Can't give up a pw that you don't actually know.

I'm surprised they're even fucking with this anymore. They got their guy. Why are they gonna waste their time on the small fries? Anyone know how he got busted specifically?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Its a cash grab, and XK supplied suppliers. lots of tasty treats for the cops to confiscate.

Ahh, that makes more sense. I thought they were targeting personal buyers as well (and maybe they are, but your explanation makes sense now).
