Fuck him

Note to self to keep that in mind. Whenever coins do mysteriously vanish from a site it's probably an LE officer stealing.

Seriously? Roberts gets life without parole for profiting off a drug market, then the people who put him in jail do the same thing and will probably get probation and a fine.

And the hitman was hired because of the theft, so the police actually caused the crimes they were investigating


[2 Points] profcannabis:

So these FBI scammers thought they were going to not only ruin thousands of peoples lives but steal their money in the process, ultimate FUD failure. Especially when the boss notices the new Rolex Presidential on your arm. #karmicloopbitch

edit for grammar

Up next in the news: Silk Road task force agent fined $5000 and put on paid leave for 4 months pending written apology.

they steal money from the site they were meant to be investigating, they leaked information to dpr, they set up fake murder for hires.

they are more guilty than dpr ever was and have broken the oath that they swore. they should both be given life sentences, but we all know that wont happen.

sheeeeeeeeeeeeit


[2 Points] yayapfool:

Anyone else simply amazed they're actually getting any kind of reprimand?

Maybe it's all the anti-government propaganda and reality-based trust issues piled up, but i honestly wouldn't have thought this could happen. Figured the superior would just be all "Give me some and we good."


[2 Points] None:

fuck those dudes


[2 Points] Theeconomist1:

Well guys, it's been an adventure and it is with a heavy heart that I step down and begin my prison sentence. I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for that pesky Vendor_BBMC

Sincerely yours,

He gonna get killed in prison


[1 Points] PathlessDemon:

You'd think it'd be more simply because it easily falls into the grand-theft category, and violates multiple computer statute laws as well...


[1 Points] PharmDiva:

That is so fucking corrupt. Even if the evidence from the crooked cops was not used in the trial it shows how dirty the law was in this case. I hope Ross gets his appeal.


[1 Points] batmantaray:

I hope that dude gets the book thrown at him, but I am not going to hold my breath.


[1 Points] None:

Damn. Notch could have just given him a million if he wanted one so damn much.

[1 Points] TitanTokes84:
