I respect DPR as a person, yeah he may have had horrible OpSec but he was the man with the plan. All these markets that exist today are all following in foot steps of DPR & Silk Road.

Good read, thanks for the post mate. Seems to me like Silk Road story is never ending, really it like a fucking soap opera! I love it.

EDIT: best quote “I imagine that someday I may have a story written about my life and it would be good to have a detailed account of it.” yes everyone loves to hate on DPR for keeping a detailed journal/dairy of the events that took place while he was operating Silk Road as DPR, but if it wasn't for his notes we wouldn't know half that shit went down.

i am really, really contemplating writing a screenplay over the whole SR tale. i've never had the desire to write, produce, act, direct etc...anything. but imagining james franco as DPR, a younger, bigger ed norton-esque type as Force, and the actor that plays saul's buddy/PIC, marco as curtis green. i bought a shitload of drugs off SR1 and went back and forth with DPR a few times to boot. i'd watch the shit outta that.

anyhow, if anyone wants to light a fire under my ass i'd be down to maybe kick some ideas around. one of my best buds is a filmmaker and i've been in some of his movies as a favor--shit, my wife has an imdb...she's got some fuckin gnarly connections as well. damn, kinda inspired.

p.s. how the fudge do u write a screenplay? j/k already googled it.

Love how the comic picture of Ross looks like he is a evil rapist. Oh modern media...

Vince Gilligan should make a show based around the Silk Road story.

Do we have any idea how law enforcement got onto Green?

Just finished the article. What a cliff hanger. Hopefully part 2 explains how they discovered the servers IP.
