I don't want to give out too much info for fear of outing myself here but my boss's boss's boss's boss took me and some crew members out to work today. The conversation turned to ransomware and eventually bitcoin, and I soon found myself explaining the basics of Dark net Markets to possibly the richest man I've ever known. He seemed genuinely curious and I made sure to stress my interest was purely academic (lol) but it certainly wasn't a conversation I was expecting to have this morning.
Edit: you guys freaking out about how I outed myself haha, I'm not a complete fucking dumbass. I have perfectly valid reasons for being interested in this and it's not like I walked him through step by step, just told him it was possible and people do it. On top of that I doubt he even knows my name.
Sweet opsec bruh
