Title: How do sellers on SR usually get caught?
Post by: Incognito99 on September 19, 2012, 11:01 am
There is no teacher like real life experience, though its often a very harsh teacher. It would be very valuable to have a thread where we focus on collecting and discussing real cases where SR sellers actually got caught.

How often does it happen?
What kind of sellers does it happen to?
What was the mistake they did that brought them down?

StonedEmo, can you share the stories of the buyers? What did they do to get caught? What's their story? I think any kind of stuff like this is beneficial to the community.

As far as OP's question, besides Trojan and Imprint  there are many plausible methods that LE might use to catch vendors. Trying to negotiate orders outside the safety of SR, requsting use of traceable methods of payment, perhaps spreading malware, etc...I think the most interesting idea was a thread I saw here a whole ago, while I am not saying I 100% believe the OP was tied to any real LE connections, it was a very plausible scenario. It went something like:

Quote
I have connections to very higher up sources, I cannot get into detail. At (some general date or near future at time of posting) LE will make multiple orders from many top vendors on SR at the same time. They are going to try and hold surveillence on many frequented mailboxes for possible deliveries you might do. Vendors beware yada dada yada.

I know real cases where SR buyers actually got caught and even got some decent jail sentences. I dont have any stories about sellers to tell. Anyway.

Lawmakers might wish they had died earlier, before somebody poured gasoline on them and burned them alive. No other remedy for evil they've done. The bastards dying in screams of pain, looking like the burning snakes twisted horribly and some crawling across the ground to illuminate everything in the dark. The government set on fire. It could be like a celebration.

warm regards,

Imprint threatened people with IRL violence and threatened to dox customers. He got what he deserved id say.

I'm interested in hearing out about the busted buyers.  I assume it involves pretty frequent and big international orders to a same address.

They didnt check laws in their countries and accepted CD. There are very many places where personal use amounts are ludicruously small, like half of tab of LSD, and everything above it is a big international order. The other mistake they've made was ordering frequently to the same address even after one order was intercepted. They were not even dealing IRL from what I know.
Its preety hard to bust a Vendor if he isnt dealing IRL and even then SR probably isnt even gonna cross LE mind. Only way it would happen is if they were resellers, once again during the CD LE probably arent thinking about SR. we do only make up like 0.00000001% of the worlds illict drug trade still

Best time to catch us is when we do our goat sacrifices. Goat sacrifices are like kyptonite for a vendor.

HERETIC!  Everyone knows that only lambs are suitable for sacrifice!

Should I be concerned about making withdrawals out of my bank account to purchase bitcoins? I've taken out 500 dollars or so a couple of times. Does this draw attention to me?

StonedEmo: Great links. I especially like your view on the gov. I always imagined the lot of them being hung from the trees lining the Mall in DC - but I like the idea of burning them alive too!


None of these stories are about vendors though... I am only seeing where buyers got busted. I too would be interested to know if there is any history of vendor arrests.

Someone from Norway posted a story on Reddit about how Norwegian customs raided his house after intercepting a parcel from SR 3 months prior. There's also an interesting recent news item I also saw on Reddit, about a man and his family having their house raided after a controlled weed delivery (this was somewhere in the USA). The police didn't find any other drugs in the house so there are no charges, and everyone is pretty outraged about the story, so these controlled delivery raids are getting some bad publicity in the USA right now.

i know i know, im outta mustard ::)

but on a real sincere note, im trippin cuz if its easy to bust buyers , then how bad can it be for a vendor ?

i mean like would u worry about the buyer ?

Oh I get ya now. Yeah of course I care for my buyers, that's why I put the effort in when it comes to packaging. When you read horror stories on here about vendors who clearly give less than a fuck about their packaging it just shows they don't take the risk that their customers are taking seriously and I get quite vexed about it actually. Saying that though, when I have checked my packages before I take them out and they are looking all tidy like little soldiers off to war I don't feel guilt because I know I have done my job and there is always an inherent risk with drugs via the mail and it's the responsibility of the customer to bare that risk by making the decision to use SR. As a vendor it's our job to minimize that risk and thus making you professional. :)

Sweet BaJezus !.. them sacrifices do work !

its real vendors as yourself that make the difference...

i feel relieved now, where them lamb chops ? lol
