Blake Benthanthal MIA

He was supposed to be due back in court on Monday DEC 22 but notta news about it. Couple that with being moved to an mysterious undisclosed location and the Informant/undercover theory is looking more likely.

I bet he's done a deal to grass up Ross.

He owes me bitcoin.

One year ago tomorrow (Xmas Eve) he was pretending that he didn't know where DPR2 kept the escrow. I messaged SheepRoadReloaded2, gave him my SR2 deposit address.

Half an hour later he said "its this wallet". I copied and pasted it into a message to Silk Road 2 admins, and surprise surprise,,,they found it.

More likely Benthall decided not to steal it until February.

When "57% of the escrows got hacked" in February, I thought "there is only one escrow wallet. Why is Defcon telling lies to us?". SRR2 already knew the escrow, so he followed it and then published where it had been stolen to.

Benthall had a charity wallet on his facebook which was, I believe, connected to the wallet SheepRoad identified for the British Tor Vendors Association (it was another blockchain accountant on Reddit who did that sleuthing).

I like to think that Benthall was caught because he stole 2.1btc off me, and only returned 1.4BTC, when bitcoin was worth a third of what it was in February. The FBI followed SRR2's paper trail of 666 deposits.
