This Week on DarkNetMarkets! 12/14 - 12/23

I would like to apologize for making this post so late. I have been very busy planning for the holidays. The next ThisWeekonDNM will be posted on 01/3/2015. This is because I want to get back to the old schedule and if I post one this Saturday I am afraid it will be too short.

If I could I would begin posting this every late Tuesday night but that would not work with my upcoming schedule. So after 01/3/2015 ThisWeekonDNM will continue every late Saturday Night.

Thanks! Hope you enjoy!


This post is a mix of everything popular that has happened since my last post. I am going to have all the top posts from this week and have a brief summary of them. I am going to have two sections for each post:


I got caught. Life is in ruins. Dont be stupid in 3rd world countries.

Three people decide to order some weed of off DNMs, they arrive at the post office to pick up their parcel. one person goes inside to receive it, and when he steps outside of the post office all hell breaks loose... He was arrested, taken to a room and was harshly interrogated until he talked. He is facing up to 1 year in prison and he will most likely not be able to graduate because school wants to kick him.

Tor exit nodes compromised, operator warns

The operator has a PGP signed messaged explaining why he thinks its compromised. "the chassis of the servers was opened and an unknown USB device was plugged in only 30-60 seconds before the connection was broken. From experience I know this trend of activity is similar to the protocol of sophisticated law enforcement who carry out a search and seizure of running servers."

He advises to "exercise extreme caution and treat even any items delivered over TLS to be potentially hostile."

Silk Road prosecutors want to ban Ross Ulbricht's libertarian politics in court

"Prosecutors in the case against alleged Silk Road mastermind Ross Ulbricht want the court to prohibit Ulbricht from saying almost anything political at all.

They're worried that the jury might end up sympathizing with Ulbricht's politics.

U.S. attorney Preet Bharara believes that Ulbricht's defense team wants to bring up his "views concerning the propriety of U.S. or international drug laws or the propriety of government regulation of individual conduct or commerce on the Internet" in order to convince the jury to excuse his alleged criminal behavior.

We're promoting Jury Nullification in NYC before, during and after Ross Ulbricht's trial.

A couple of long time jury right activists are running a month-long phone kiosk and pamphleting campaign in Lower Manhattan next week to encourage jurors to vote not guilty in victimless crimes cases.

OP explains jury nullification: "Jury nullification is when jurors in a criminal trial vote "not guilty" despite the fact that they believe the defendant is guilty. They may do this because they disagree with the law or how it is being applied or for any reason at all." Full comment here

Possible upcoming attempts to disable the Tor network

"The Tor Project has learned that there may be an attempt to incapacitate our network in the next few days through the seizure of specialized servers in the network called directory authorities. (Directory authorities help Tor clients learn the list of relays that make up the Tor network.) We are taking steps now to ensure the safety of our users, and our system is already built to be redundant so that users maintain anonymity even if the network is attacked. Tor remains safe to use."

Matthew Jones, a/k/a "Caligirl," "Dynamite2k," "Dynamite," "Tyler Zeddai," and "Mateo Jones" was working as the Chief Technology Officer for a software consulting company in Dallas, he operated as the vendor "Caligirl" on the Silk Road drug marketplace.

Beginning on July 11, 2013, through March 20, 2014, Drug Enforcement Administration agents purchased and seized more than 400 Oxycodone tablets and more than 900 Hydrocodone tablets from Jones. Jones shipped the drugs from Texas to Central Florida. His sales placed him in the top 5% of all Silk Road vendors.

Authorities arrested Jones while he was traveling back to the United States from Colombia. At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of approximately 8,500 Oxycodone pills. Simultaneous with his arrest, agents executed a federal search warrant at his Texas residence, where they recovered approximately $75,000 in cash and seized a variety of controlled substances, including Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, MDMA, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, and Hashish. A drug lab was also located in the residence.

My DNM addiction at the age of 16-18

"To anyone who's considering using the DNM to deal.. there really is no stopping. It's definitely more addictive than the drugs themselves."

This story is too intriguing to summarize, worth a read.

A guy is claiming to sell the cure for HIV in EVO forums.

"Taking advantage of desperate people with HIV is the new scam going around at evolution forums. Some users are going to help looking for infected people for the vendor to send them some free samples, that will improve their situation, but not completely - here's the catch - and then they will be able to purchase the full treatment."
