I'm an "LE in the know": Please Read

I've not sweated as hard over a decision like this in awhile, but fuck it. I'll answer a few questions, if you all remain respectful. This isn't going to be an AMA and I don't owe anyone here shit. I'm already doing it.

For the record, I have no badge, no gun. I broker and approve access to sensitive technology assets around various three letter agencies and our "friends". I observe policy development and the decisions that are enacted and then I "support" those decisions. Thats all I will say. Why am I doing this? 1) I'm about to quit; Snowden has made a good career a living hell. 2) MJ wasn't always legal in DC, so I'm an old friend to the DNM. 3) Some of you are friends of mine, just not under this username.

For the Record:

Enjoy your day. Oh, and before you go polluting Reddit and me with more insults, let me just say that when we were done, your Mom made me a lovely lunch.

Hi Reddit! This is my first post so I'm sorry if it's because of my misbehaving boy...

My only son /u/Insidethe202 is 22 years old.

Up until the age of 16, he was a normal teenager. He would show interest in girls (though with mixed successes) and was a little too interested with computers, but other than that he was fine.

However, when he was 16, I got divorced from his father for reasons I'd rather not go into, but it had a profound effect on my son, despite attempts at mediation between him and his father.

He dropped out of A-Levels and has refused to leave the house or get a job since. He stays awake late and plays video games for incredibly long periods of time. He plays this online game which he says he can't stop playing so he has a tendency to wee into drank coke bottles so he doesn't have to leave his computer (I have to empty them out myself because he can't be bothered).

I want to get him to put his life on track but I feel so guilty over the divorce. I feel like it's my fault. To try and make him get a job or go back to college, I have instituted a system I call "good boy points", something I have seen parents do with younger children. I award small points for things like putting the toilet seat down after he has used it or for washing up his plate. For five "good boy points" he can get his favourite dinner (Chicken Tenders or "tendies").

The ultimate prize is a brand new computer at 1000 good boy points, which he can get if he gets a job or goes back to college.

Since I have instituted this system, he has gotten worse. He frequently flies into fits of rage when I refuse to go to the shop and buy him some Chicken Tenders and smashes things up when he loses at his games. I once told him to quieten down at two in the morning and he threw one of his full up coke bottles over me and told me to leave.

I am at a loss. Have any of you had trouble with this before? I love him so much but it can't go on this way.

Thank you for your help.

Janice

AB, Hansa, Dream and others have been compromised for some time.

I'm an old friend to the DNM.

Too little too late, friendo.

Tor is a farce. Save for an airgapped one time use of tails on a rental computer at a Kinkos in a state you've never been too as your access point, they'll find you - if you're really on that radar.

This is the interesting bit. Can you elaborate? I'm assuming "they" is spooks rather than cops, and what does it take to get on that radar?


[5 Points] Throughawayup:

I'll answer a few questions.

This isn't an AMA.

Okay.

So what's your point? You're just feeding into speculation already made by users and adding no new information or any reason your claims may be true. Anyone can hop on reddit and do exactly what you're doing. Without any information beyond what people already suspect, this post serves no purpose.

Edit: I'll play along. How is tor a farce?

Let me be clear about a couple more things:

You've managed to type so much, and say so little. I guess this was your intention. In other words, thanks for nothing


[3 Points] InfoSecThrowawayHerp:

Have tools been deployed to where they can bust through Tails OS IP tables rules and send back a clear net beacon from Tails? Has CGMC been targeted/infiltrated? You sound legit close to the IC, risky business being here lol.


[3 Points] BananasAndBlowMe:

So you suck dick for a living?


[3 Points] None:

Tomorrow he will post " I'm not actually LE". No shit.


[2 Points] mrmcepic69:

We just need some type of proof pls. I WANT TO BELIEVE.


[2 Points] trynakick:

The reason I'm compelled to give this any credibility is OPs description of how these busts would have played out in the internal beuracracy seems very plausible.

People on this sub have been shitting on Jeff Sessions for this. I wouldn't be surprised if LE had the intel to take down the markets a year ago. We've seen how reluctant they are to expose their methods (in the case of PlayPen even letting pedos go free). So making the bust and then making it stick would be an exceptionally long process.

I want my .75 cents back sir


[1 Points] Elitenoob89:

Proof?


[1 Points] That_Guy_389:

I want to believe this is real but....


[1 Points] gaing:

My (fairly trusted) vendor cant decrypt my (manual) pgp msgs at dream, while i have no problems sending pgp msgs at other markets, know anything about them messing with the pgp at dream?


[1 Points] thatnicca21:

so even if i manually encrypt messages on dream to send to "trusted vendors" will I be okay? or should i stay away entirely?


[1 Points] UndeadMarine55:

As an outside observer to this "role playing" I find it deeply hilarious how people under-estimate the competence and capabilities of their "enemy".

Thankfully my life is squeaky clean. If it wasn't, I certainly wouldn't be posting on this sub Reddit.

what other markets are compromised?
