Not live in the fucking USA

No journal, Better opsec. Also, I wouldn't. Not many people have the ability to do what he did.

Admit to owning the server and use 4th amendment.


[2 Points] ArcticAG:

I wouldn't have advertised the site on the shroomery with an alias tied to my personal gmail account.

I wouldn't have ordered fake IDs through customs in bulk to my home address. (Scans would've sufficed for obtaining server space.)

No journals/chat logs.

Aside from that I would constantly be traveling and working remotely. He easily could've booked hotels and traveled with gift cards.


[2 Points] PWEI:

I would have stuck with Rachel.

(sorry, had to go there)


[1 Points] PedanticDopeFeind:

I would keep my real identity far far far away from the darknet.


[1 Points] 2005C:

I would have definitely had 2 identities ready to go. I would have squirreled away most of the bitcoin, and yeah, live somewhere out of reach.

Thing is he did leave, he was in Sydney for a while, traveled while SR was live. Should have just kept that up, kept on moving. Maybe to countries with less ties to the US though. I mean, he could've bought his own island declared himself a fucking country with that pile of coin. The thing that gets me down the most is that I feel he was pushed into those so-called hits, almost like entrapment(because it LE enticed him into hits, stole his money AND blamed someone else). Like the service was offered to him, it is not like he wanted to actively kill someone, more was presented with a highly biased choice, and coerced into picking the wrong answer, under duress. I think based on the corruption during this whole fiasco he should be freed.

Move to de nederlands after the first 10k or so I made. Not fucking try to hire hitmen when the cops try to trick me into it.

I think if you were to set a truly anonymous marketplace, where the admin can't even see what's being bought and sold, and just collects a blind commission, it wouldn't necessarily even be illegal. It seems like there would be a way to do it and be protected by common carrier exemptions.

Dude seemed way to comfortable and not enough paranoia. Idk how he lived like that, being the head of a giant crime organization. I would have left country asap or sold the business. Just as an outsider looking in, seemed his ego was a bit too big and he believed he'd never get caught.

Mistakes were made.

Closed the laptop in time.

Use a paper wallet?

I would have it done like the owner of blackmarket reloaded or the people from agora. The Silk Road started small but it grew bigger and bigger. If I were Ross, I had given up, the idea was still born and brought to the world. :-D
