Variety Jones/Plural of Mongoose reveals new information regarding a rouge FBI agent involved in extorting market owners (causing Evolutions exit-scam) and plotting to kidnap DPR's family members in a plot to extort him for the key to a wallet containing 75 Million USD

Time to get the popcorn out.

In his own words:

This is the story of what I've been doing the last two years. The story of $75,000,000 of pirates treasure in bitcoins. The story of a rogue, highly placed member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who has been making better than an average of a $1,000,000 a month, committing felonies with wild abandon, just because he can. The story of a bent Federale who has leaked me secret grand jury information in an effort to keep me out of the hands of his colleagues. The story of an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York who, in spite of being made aware of much of this, has chosen to do nothing, likely so as to not embarrass his office and politically minded boss. That hasn't even got me started on the kidnapping and torture plot. Don't worry, I'll get to it, but it's nasty.

As for proof PoM is who he says he is, other longstanding and respected members of the forum seem certain. And as far as him also being VJ, La Moustache explained it best - http://antilop.cc/sr/#jones

As far as the evolution part of the story:

On March 7, Diamond was once again fucking ecstatic. He was working on ripping off all the DNMs, and was often bragging about his skills and abilities. He was in the process of making an over $6,000,000 score in btc! He'd managed to get into one of the DNMs, root the server, and sat in the bush waiting to get an IP for an admin. He'd been successful in that a few weeks earlier, and had bribed/hired some folks to find the location of said admin. He demanded six million+ dollars (lots of jabs about him being the six million dollar man. Dude has a weird ego, man.), which they didn't have sitting around, unless they raped the market for it. But he had them by the fucking short hairs, man. This was a done deal, and I'd heard it from him first. Suck that, eh.

10 days later, Evolution market was no more.

And the kidnapping bit:

He went fucking mental, and started going on about his backup plan. He would kidnap Ross Ulbrichts sister, or mother, or ideally both. Get a video capable phone in front of Ross Ulbricht, and he'd give up that fucking pass phrase, and Diamond would have them tortured until he did.

If this is all true, HOLY FUCKING WHAT THE FUCK WHAT FUCK CUNT THE FUCK. Essentially.

This is the biggest story ever in DNM history. Pay attention people.

Market forces almost force this sort of thing. In every industry, every corner of the World - where money or power is to be had there is somebody somewhere trying to get it because if they aren't, somebody else is.

This begins at the most basic level - bartering between two people that know each other and extends all the way to Government and their incestuous relationship with corporations.

And as we continue to allow money and power to be hoarded by fewer and fewer people this sort of thing will increase exponentially until we reach a point at which there isn't enough money for us to buy the iPhones and other shiny things that make us think being slaves is worth it.

Nothing new there, Governments lose control all through history as soon as their population starts looking inward instead of outward at the bogey man hence why America and other Governments absolutely require complete control and regulation of information and communication. That's their latest war and it is designed to keep us placid for another decade or two but we are being squeezed. The only use for a middle class is to buy the shit that the lower class/robots make for the people that hoard the cash.

We've had the War on Drugs and the War on Terror and now we're on to the War on Information.

A sign of the times when the criminals are more honest than the LE designated to arresting them.

I'm not buying any of this.. it's not like I trust the FBI or the US government, but I think the guy (VJ/PoM) is making this stuff up because LaMoustache and Motherboard doxxed him and his extradition to the US is imminent. It does make for good drama, though.

/u/gwern I know your on to other things but would love your input on this.


[14 Points] 73478526:

This post implies that Agent Chris Tarbell is behind this.

Looks like he did a Carl and signed a message with his real identity -> cwt

Chris Tarbell

Anyone able to find out his middle name?

Also Agora apparently was a target too. But all of this could be just utter FUD.

I spent the next few weeks cadging Diamond for clues as to what he's up to next, but he's all curled up into himself pissed at missing taking down Agora, and all the btc that would have brought him. He's back talking about nothing but kidnapping again. Well, fuck.


[10 Points] SpecialAgentDildo:

Well that would explain evo and agora going dark. This all seems very plausible and really intense. I wonder who the big vendors are that diamond has in his cross hairs.


[9 Points] bobbiggs69:

I am speechless. If there is any truth to this, it is incredible.


[8 Points] None:

He claims that his machinations have kept anyone from finding me so far. Now, he doesn't know where I am, but that's not because I'm hard to find. It's like him saying he's got a rock that protects me from lions—-I don't see any lions around, do you-—and taking credit for my lion-free existence. Plus, I like lions.

sir, I'd like to buy that rock!


[8 Points] Axaq:

Finally, some actual drama to dig my teeth into!

cwt = Christopher W. Tarbell, Special Agent, FBI?

[6 Points] Whistleblowr:

Regarding these revelations: There is significant disinformation going around, and there is some inadvertent truths in VJ/PoM's bombshell.

1) "Diamond" is not the moniker used by the rogue LE that is in the wind. It might be now, but there were always a few others he rotated.

2) He is not FBI. He is HSI.

3) He extorted and passed information to DPR (SR), Atlantis, Backopy (BMR), Defcon&DPR2 (SR2), Verto&Kimble (Evolution), and attempted to get in with Agora but no deal was struck.

4) Much has been whispered about the missing rogue agent - rumours throughout the SR trial, redacted court filings in the Benthall case, un-redacted fuckups by the DoJ in the DPR data dump, and several articles by Sarah Jeong, Andy Greenberg, Joseph Cox, etc.

5) VJ/Clark/PoM is a liar, but he knows enough to bluff enough.

This will probably play out like the reporter who blew the top off the Iran contra drug running scheme. Its fascinating to us, but it'll get swept under the rug and the public will go on there shrugging their shoulders.

I don't know if I want this to be true or not. On the one hand, crazy drama.

On the other hand, fuck man...the things greed does to an individual.


[3 Points] dnmthelf:

And this is why as a community we need to stop trusting money to morons with bad security, you are entrusting it to people who will end up giving it to FBI agents or getting it confiscated by the FBI.


[3 Points] bobbiggs69:

So, the lowlife at motherboard claims that motherboard has verified that POM = VJ = Clark.

At this point, there is no way to independently verify Clark’s claims, but Motherboard has independently confirmed the identity of the individual behind the account.


[3 Points] seagramsextradry:

There is a link to an updated TorChat. http://www.myplanetganja.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11022&start=120#p144147

Is that legit?

It seems to work and connect just fine. A May & June 2015 update?


[3 Points] PeasantOfKings:

Don't give af whether or not it's true I'm making a movie about this now.


[3 Points] fuckoffplsthankyou:

I believe every fucking word too. Cops totally do this shit.


[3 Points] rogueXleader:

Rogue, not rouge(French word for red). I've typed it a time or two ;P This is certainly entertaining, legit or not


[3 Points] dieawejeneeze:

so i have a question -- maybe moustache or bbmc can help me out:

On the myplanetganja forum, PoM talks in depth about his elaborate growing operation and impressive door, in his story about how he got arrested. But I read before (maybe someone can supply the link, I don't have it handy but I think it was from LaMoustache) that Gypsy Nirvana posted that PoM never was a grower? That he never grew a crop in his life. Which also goes against PoM's whole reason for going to the UK in the first place, correct?

If he is 'not a farmer,' then is PoM different people? Does this show that VJ is not PoM? But then again, wasn't VJ selling seeds yet getting all of his weed from other vendors? Is it not too much of an assumption to think that anyone who can grow their own crop doesn't need to get weed from other people all the time?

Trying to clear up some confusion here. There is certainly a lot of interesting crazy shit going on here.

Uhh holy shit


[2 Points] rabbit_hole_diver:

we need to get this upvoted to the front page ASAP


[2 Points] noproofofwallets:

Anyone know of any evidence of a bitcoin wallet with 300k btc in it?

If he posted addresses that belong to this alleged wallet it would be a lot more believeable.


[2 Points] rabbit_hole_diver:

can someone please post this to r/subredditdrama? every goddamn time i try to post a thread on this site it always gets removed by a bot because I didnt add a flair, or some other bullshit reason. this needs to make it to the front page of reddit.


[2 Points] Gratefulstickers:

In for history sake, if this is even legit!


[2 Points] 7000BOX:

Why is he handing himself in? Why not just move to Billys place like everybody else?


[2 Points] CabbageOnion1:

He was in the process of making an over $6,000,000 score in btc!
He'd managed to get into one of the DNMs, root the server, and  
sat in the bush waiting to get an IP for an admin.  

How can he get an ip? when all he should be getting is a tor exit node ip ?


[1 Points] JusPlugItBro:

The plot thickens! I really hope he releases a book. I need MORE details!


[1 Points] AThrowawayAsshole:

This needs to be made into a movie.


[1 Points] gonzobon:

I wonder if this has anything to do with Agora.


[1 Points] theseeker01:

imo even if 5% of this was true it means that there was another reason for agora to shutdown and evo to just jump and use that one mod as a diversion.


[1 Points] Curvol:

remindme! 4 days


[1 Points] ihavesomething55:

It's funny because I'd always jokingly post parts of this story on throwaway accs. It's just the ultimate novel keeping dnm users entertained.

Wow. This is the most interesting shit I have ever read. This definitely means Ross could have a fair shot at a retrial due to the corrupt agents. I mean fuck the case should just be thrown out since it is so corrupted.
