A message to Reddit from SSBD

To everyone who has donated to SSBD's book drive, he is overwhelmed by your support. He passed on the following message to you all:

To everyone who has expressed kind words of support or thrown in some spare BTC I want to say a massive thank you. Eiley (Oz Freelancer) has been keeping me updated on what you guys have been doing for me and I am incredibly touched and humbled by your support and generosity.

I especially want to thank Bruce and Lobali for your efforts here. It was totally unexpected and I am incredibly grateful to you both for making it happen. As we say down under you are bloody legends!

Your donations will go a long way to making my time incarcerated more bearable. It costs a surprising amount of money to stay locked up; phone calls ($1 a minute international!); commissary and the Feds email system trulinks all add up and it would be an even more miserable existence in the US prison system unable to communicate with the outside world or eat semi decent food.

Any books will be greatly appreciated! I spend more time reading these days than doing anything else. I shall look forward to getting some new reading material.

It has been a long 15 months so far and there is still a way to go but I am hoping that this Friday 13th March (unlucky for some) will bring me one step closer to having an end date to this ordeal. It is my intention to plead guilty and move forward to sentencing, the date for which will be set for around three months time. Wish me luck!

Also whilst I have your attention there is one thing I want to clear up because there is some misinformation floating around out there and it keeps getting repeated (I noticed a few comments in the copy and paste of the threads I was sent too) so I wanted to set the record straight. I never worked in a prison or had anything to do with the criminal justice system before my incarceration. I used to work for my regional governments Disability Services Dept working as a Behavioural Specialist with adults with intellectual disabilities and severe challenging behaviours. The piece of sensationalist journalistic fiction that spurned that lie also had me down as a 'Drug Lord' so I think you get the picture. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good storey.

So once again thank you. The money is a great help but the support means more to me than any monetary amount. You have really helped lift my spirits ahead of my court hearing this week :-)

Thank you.

Peter

A reminder to all the blockchain for the bitcoin donation address is here

It doesn't matter how small your donation is, as Pete said, it is really the knowledge that he hasn't been forgotten to rot.

Is there a link to his inmate address anywhere if anybody wants to send something directly to him?
