Somewhat related: http://archive.wired.com/politics/law/news/2007/06/secret_service?currentPage=all there have been a lot of plants like Cirrus throughout the carding scene, similar methods being used to bust open the Darknet.

One interesting thing from this article was that Cirrus was believed to be a woman by the Silk Road 2.0 staff.

Thanks for the link.

Seems to me that a better vetting process is required for moderators and others in crucial roles. Yeah, what's up with server registration in your own name?

However, tracing these bitcoins is impossible.
Hear that, everybody? The cops think tracing bitcoins is impossible. Let's keep it that way.

Thanks for posting this. It was really driving me nuts reading the way Tang refers to Cirrus as "they." Now I get it.

I don't really understand. What's the advantage for LE to have a forum mod? As far as I udnerstood they didn't know about location of servers, no access to the bitcoins, and all the interesting infos.
Never hire anyone to help run an illegal hidden service that you don't trust your life with... Also why do people keep registering shit in their own names? Christ!
