Former mod and current mod of /r/danknation is a corrupt extortionist/doxer. Proof inside.

I copy/pasted this from my post in danknation.

Hey guys,

I hate to do this, but it's time. We as a community, took a vote months back to remove young_k as head mod, but young_k never stepped down. The reason he never stepped down is because he is making money and/or receiving free product through /r/danknation. You guys remember that old mod /u/throwthatawaythat or whatever his name is? It appears young_k kicked him off the mod team because he was receiving more free product than young_k in return for reviews. Mods should not be engaging in quid pro quo. Young_k solicited Overmind for information on that old mod in attempt to dox him. You can see the proof in the chat logs. I've got a lot more dirt, but I'm trying to do right by the community. I asked young_k to privately step down, but my requests have gone unanswered.

link to danknation post-> https://www.reddit.com/r/DankNation/comments/53inri/young_k_is_a_corrupt_extortionistdoxer_proof/ Sorry the screenshots are a little out of order. Can we finally as a community demand young_k step down as head mod? This shit is ridiculous.

Edit: I want to clarify for people what these screenshots prove.

Also, I am not Overmind. However, he did share these logs with me months back.

Edit 2: /u/theeconomist1 asked me to post this publicly when I brought this PROOF to his attention. I'm not sure which mod young_k convinced to label this as speculation/no proof, but I'd like whichever mod did this to speak up and take credit. I think we deserve to know which one of young_k's old mod buddies is protecting him?

Edit 3: This is the last time I'm posting around here. On this account or my main account. You kids need to realize that nobody does anything for free, especially modding a dnm subreddit. Everyone has their hand in the cookie jar if they're in a place of power. Times that by ten with anything dnm related. You've got to pay to play around here. Both subreddit have had a history of corruption (Lobali, Astor), and now some pussy cuck of a mod is flairing this post as "no proof" and refuses to step forward. The sad part is /u/theeconomist1 is the one that pushed me to post this, and now he's a ghost.

Edit 4: Thank you to /u/theeconomist1 for changing the flair to "complaint".

Thanks for the shenanigans. It's been real.

fuck that guy. he always seemed like he was wearing britches too big for him. Hes already purging any mention of this everywhere.


[24 Points] None:

/u/young_k talks like a nervous paranoid teenager. That conversation has cringe worthy carpet bombed all throughout it lol


[22 Points] Ttrowway:

Yep. That sub lost all credibility when young k returned with no explanation of his absence or the entire PNW scandel. Not to mention all the hard working mods who filled in while he was gone have gone mostly silent in their presence on the subreddit.

Edit: the mods are still there from before. I was wrong on that fact. Edit because this post got up voted but original post left intact for posterity.

Any popcorn vendors around? No cut shit either, I need it pure.


[18 Points] TypicalSnake:

We need to get this to the top. It appears Young_K has already deleted the same post over on r/danknation.


[14 Points] throwawayy454633:

Like I posted in danknation young k has been shady for a while now.


[12 Points] InTheDitch:

DNM soap opera subreddits...not just for the bartards.


[11 Points] rabbit_hole_diver:

He was kicked out of the barbarians a long time ago for being a fucko. He has issues.


[9 Points] itsbooming:

My only experience with the guy was when I first got in barbarians and asked about drop ideas. He directed me to the barb onion which had a guide from the anarchist cookbook. The advice was "find abandoned house, use it".

After I saw that I instantly thought Young K was a teenager.

Can we see where this vote took place please? edit: Thank you /u/KarlMarxForceIV. https://www.reddit.com/r/DankNation/comments/4l8buu/time_for_a_vote/

I always hated young_k he is a child when he was leaving modding here he was like proving how much work he was doing here and how he's always on and jist acting like a child throwing a hissy fit when he got called out in his bs (oh yea well i do this and I spent 3zillion hours and did this many edits and tagged this Manny things and and and and ya) he is a ridiculous human being and should never have been mod of anything imo sure his investigations of medi was good and his bartard drama updates but it still goes to prove what a child he is he needs the subs approval to feel good about himself and he's just a dumb ass.... I know I'm speaking for no one and my opinion doesn't matter since I'm not a mod of anything but with every interaction I've seen of his he just annoys me and reminds me of my friends when I was 12 playing in a forum in middle school thinking we were cool cause we had our own "clan" anyway my .002 btc

[6 Points] PeeturDoinkleburg:

You know... I always try to remember that people aren't evil. That usually when a person does something unethical or generally just acts poorly that there is something difficult going on in their life or maybe something from their past.

In this case, we have what appears to be a very difficult financial situation. Someone's house on the line, medical bills, maybe health issues as well. I'm not taking sides, and I'm not saying that dealing with adversity poorly is ever justified really. But, and this doesn't apply to everyone, keep in mind what connects us all in this sub: drugs. In some cases, not all, drugs are simply a very poor coping mechanism. I only mention it because what I see is young k having some serious financial issues and trying to get in front of them but perhaps also coping poorly with the situation at hand.

This situation can go a couple of ways ultimately.

The first possible outcome: young k gets very defensive, lashes out, eventually says something he regrets. The community then takes offense, the threads about young k start appearing and everyone just piles it on. I'm not saying this is, right or wrong but if I was stressed out like he appears to be, the added weight of negativity from the community would only serve to push him deeper.

Or

Young K steps up, admits he's having a rough time, apologizes, maybe steps down. This would happen after he eventually starts his own thread with a very lengthy explainer. And likely this would only happen after days of deflection and defensive responses.

Many of us have been in difficult situations. Many of us here have had our lives fall apart whether because of our own mistakes or even circumstances beyond our control. We've done things that we never imagined we would because we didn't understand the progression from someone who wouldn't do [that bad thing] or even think of it to someone who has done [whatever bad thing]. It doesn't make it ok, but I'm only saying that people don't usually just go out and act poorly for sport.

/u/young_k is obviously hurting. Not saying that the difficulties he's dealing with justify that, again.

Is it possible that we skip all the nastiness, young k drops his defenses for a moment and tells us a little about what he's up against, apologizes, avoids further spiral, and idk, depending what's in your (the community's) hearts we consider forgiving him and offer some kind of assistance?

What I see is: Financial problems (possibly very serious ones) Extreme stress and anxiety Likely an addiction (possibly formed to cope with the previously mentioned items) So he tries to use the resources he has to fix everything (again, this doesn't excuse poor behavior but sheds light on what motivated it)

I'm not saying we should just send him a million BTC, when I say "assistance" that could mean any number of things.

Anyways.... everything aside, /u/young_k, I hope you are able to figure things out. I'm only going based on what very little I've seen here so I could be totally wrong! It's just what was going through my mind as I read through this.

I've felt something off for awhile. I have been skeptical of that place since the PNW fiasco.

That shit made no sense, and nobody ever fucking explained it.

They just swept that under the rug. Everybody has really short memories, right?

No. Some folks just rarely comment on what they have been observing until the time is right, and some folks aren't as easily manipulated or socially engineered as you might think.

Unless you are extremely daft, there's a very obvious answer as to why ProveNW had his login information.

He also kicked me out of being a Mod b/c I made a post saying if anyone wanted into the private Barbarians sub to put their name. N I specifically stated I wasn't trying to take oriole groom the community but try to bring EVERYONE TOGETHER. HE BOOTED ME WITHOUT EVEN ASKING WHY I DID WHAT I DID. N I WAS TOLD BY A HIGHER UP THAT IT WAS OK. He's on A POWER TRIP! THINKING HE'S THE HEAD MOD OF EVERYWHERE. Don't get me wrong, he's great at CSS n programming. But the Hitler type mod shit ain't cool !

[3 Points] DeadMau1212:

naturally, most vendors will leave if the mod is really corrupt. this seems to be an isolated case for me.

everyone should be skeptical when dealing with others in here. it's dnm 101.


[3 Points] Lucyintehsky:

Teenagers scamming each other for weed, while most of the rest of these subs are adults with jobs who can just buy whatever they desire.

Its cute really.

[2 Points] jjcooli0h:

I'm slightly confused on one point, and saw nothing in the comments which addressed this.

  1. Are the screenshot's real? Admitedly they 'appear' real, but that of course is not proof of veracity. I wouldn't expect this to be addressed by the OP, so essentially what I'm asking is: does /u/young_k concede that those images represent a factual transcript of an actual conversation with the vendor Overmind (irrespective of who they potentially may or may not have been in their past vending life)?


[2 Points] DveousDNM:

Holyyyyy shiiiiit. He's gone completely psychotic.


[3 Points] dnvendorthrowaway:

I've known young_k since I started vending.

I am an experienced, successful weed vendor on the markets, and through dd business.

I was very active for quite a while on DankNation and built an active repeat business from readers there.

Young_k doesn't suffer fools gladly, and I respect that. It saves me time.

He can sound berating, condescending and maybe even rude, but I don't give a fuck, I'm a businessman. His points are usually valid.

DankNation hasn't really recovered from the PNW shit. As a matter of work, I had to do plenty of stuff every day to keep the dank blasting out the door in ever increasing volume. Reading every post on DankNation was a daily requirement.

The PNW shit drove many good members away. I had to cut way down on my DankNation participation. I know it drove a lot of customers away, too.

With young_k's return, I've been paying more attention to DN, and it is improving. I hope that continues.

Young_k helped me learn the ropes in successful DNM cannabis sales and has never asked me for a thing. He knows the business and is technically qualified to run that sub.

The evidence isn't overly compelling, but I don't give a shit. It's one guys word against another right now, and I have to side with young_k on this particular issue.

DankNation serves a great purpose. Like all subreddits, it's mostly shit-posts. But it connects new customers and new vendors effectively. The reviews used to be more authentic, but that is a pay for play game mostly, now. Which I am not against or above. It's just inherently deceptive.

Somebody is lying here, but it doesn't matter to me. I'm not sure that fucking with drug dealers is healthy. I know that is can be really bad for someone. If young_k is that stupid then it is what it is.

I wouldn't hesitate to engage with DankNation as a vendor if I had to. It would be my first stop.

Overall, I graduated from DNM vendor school as an active Dank member and I knew I graduated when I didn't have to advertise for business anywhere.

That's just my experience.

[1 Points] Theeconomist1:

For the record OP did reach out to me a day or two before this post asking what he should do. As I often tell most people, if someone has evidence of something, they should post to the community. I believe the community can best dissect this sort of info and decide for themselves what is going on.

I updated the flair bc our standard of proof is basically if something is provided then the thread should not be No Proof. It doesn't validate the evidence. It simple means something was provided.

I asked young_k to privately step down, but my requests have gone unanswered

Uhh, I don't know where or when this happened - but I don't see any PM's from you. I don't recall this conversation EVER happening.


[-2 Points] young_k:

The source of this information is Overmind, who everyone was convinced was Colorado - the shit stirring scammer....yet let's all take his word as fact; despite it being totally shitty "proof" with nothing that shows I doxxed anyone, accepted a bribe, or ever posted a review for ANY vendor.

Sounds good.


[-2 Points] tryptdn:

Don't know young_k or overmind, but I'm gonna have to side with /u/young_k ... Conversations can be faked easily, so these pictures prove nothing. Overmind is making an accusation, so the burden of proof is on him, and he's proved nothing.

There's no reason to believe baseless accusations, and I think everyone here is upvoting because it's sufficiently tinfoily to give them a paranoia boner.

I'll consider believing Overmind if he somehow proves these are legitimate.


[-5 Points] DinoNeedsMe:

This is likely either Overmind trying to stir shit because he wasn't allowed into the invite-only Cannabis Vendor co-op CGMC, or this one other user who was banned for doxxing/being an asshole and has since vowed to spend their retirement causing drama the sub as "retribution"

Young_k made /r/danknation into a sub worth going to, and continues to improve it all the time. Anyone that wants him gone is an idiot


[-9 Points] young_k:

Oh wow, totally verifiable proof that I dox! I also post all these fake reviews and shill all the time! I'm a known extortionist too! (/s - someone show me a review I posted, I don't post reviews.)

Seriously...how long did you spend on this....sad. Let me just give up and step down!

I've never ordered from Overmind, or received so much as a half a gram of anything from him. But suprisingly I've seen throwthatawayat (a constant reviewer and someone that can verify that I have not extorted him - unless Overmind decides to extort him) HAS ordered from him. So I wonder who really is the one with the man's dox.

He's simply butthurt that he wasn't considered for CGMC, which has somehow been shifted to be my fault. He even accused me of being JackBlue - which is absurd in itself.

Now, nearly a month later, he finally finished typing up his fake log. I use tor hidden services to connect to XMPP - and the one I use is not that server.

I'm not stepping down cause overmind has a bug up his butt about being known that he's confirmed scammer Colorado - and CGMC isn't naive enough to believe his bullshit lies others do.

Oh look, the log is on Hansa...the market Overmind uses! WOW! I wonder who came up with this log...go look back through the bitching he did on /r/DankNation - I wonder who's responsible for this log.
