Title: The Biggest Scam in SR History
Post by: Timewilltell on April 30, 2012, 05:41 am
As many of you may already suspect, we may have just witnessed the biggest scam in the history of the road.

I could be wrong of course, and if so, all your inevitable insults that you are about to throw at me will be proven correct, and I will fuck off and feel like an idiot - but if I'm right? Well.. Silk Road is going to change that's for sure.

Tony76 was one of the biggest if not the biggest vendor on this site. He was trusted by everyone.

As of right now, he has closed his account saying that he will be back in 24-48 hours as he had to deal with a large influx of 4/20 orders (he said that 3-4 days ago).

"What the fuck are you talking about, give the guy a break, he is probably bogged down in orders" I hear you say. Well, maybe. And if that is true, then thank god for that, and I apologize to Tony for adding to the damage that has been done to his reputation.

But, let's examine the facts shall we. As you can see, in this thread: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=20709.0 50% of voters have not received their packages posted after 19/4. This is believable and correlates with the idea that he is backlogged with orders. BUT, 50% of voters haven't received orders up to 1-3 weeks ago.

That being the case, we can safely assume that Tony hasn't sent out any shipments in the last 3 weeks.

The following is also true

1. Tony opened for international shipping just before 4/20
2. Tony sent links to his own personal drug site outside of SR to "loyal customers" (some of whom only had a 2-3 transactions with him)
3. Tony dropped his prices to, what appeared to be, amazing levels during/after 4/20.
4. Tony asked for FE from ALL BUYERS over the 4/20 sale

Also, he hasn't come to the forum once to say that he's still bogged down, and that he'll be back soon. He has FULLY disappeared.

So one of the following is true

1. Tony has actually taken a break, we are all paranoid fucks, and he will be back soon to prove us all wrong
2. Tony took loads of orders because he was going to obtain more drugs, but then his deal fell through and now he is stuck with loads of orders and nothing to send out
3. Tony has been arrested/hospitalized
4. Tony opened for international customers, dropped his prices to amazing levels, asked FE from everyone, and then took all the cash

I am just stating the facts here.

Look at the fucking facts.

The guy has a community of people that trust him. He's cashing out ridiculous amounts of bitcoins each week, which is a red flag. The farmers market just got shut down. He just opened for international customers. He asked everyone to FE. No-one has received ANYTHING from him in the past 3+ weeks. He hasn't come on to the forums to let anyone know what has happened, DESPITE BEING THE BIGGEST SELLER ON THE SITE.

Don't you think that someone who's full time job is SR, and has thousands of customers, would have the courtesy to actually come on to the forums to explain himself?



To me, it seems like the guy waited for the perfect moment to conduct this scam.

I wouldn't be surprised if he already had other vendor accounts set up in the previous months so that he can begin selling again.

But yes, time will tell.

If this is a scam, I'd estimate that he took AT THE VERY LEAST $100,000.

What does this mean for SR?

NEVER FINALISE EARLY EVEN FOR TRUSTED SELLERS

**** THE FOLLOWING IS PURE SPECULATION ****

AfternoonDelight - http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/a8a6be4f8e

That vendor has been a member for two weeks. And has just started selling Tony's LSD... from Canada? Suspicious or not? This could be Tony slowly building up a new vendor account. It could (and is most probably) also just be another guy selling Tonys acid. BUT.. Watch this guy. If he slowly starts increasing his sales to sheets/half sheets (despite him not having a source for acid anymore considering Tony has gone) then we know that something is up




Tomorrowman - http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/13a78646d6

Has been a member for 10 days. Just started selling MDMA and Cocaine out of Canada.




OPI - http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/c662375e77

Has been a member for one month, sells from Canada, and is selling uncut heroin pebbles (one of Tonys most famous products AND SOMETHING NOONE ELSE ON SR SELLS).



Don't you think it somewhat suspicious that three new vendors appear out of Canada just before 4/20, one actually selling Tonys acid, one selling the heroin pebbles (very fucking rare) and one selling mdma/coke at Tony's prices, just as Tony fucking disappears?

If you were going to pull off a massive scam but wanted to come back as a seller, you would come back and sell on multiple accounts, wouldn't you?

Of course this could all be coincidence, but personally I think this is way too fucking suspicious

I was hesitant to post, as I didn't want to ruin the chain of actual intellectual and logical posts.
But I did, just to say, nice roundup of information.
Time will tell, I'll give it.. 2 more weeks at maximum.
Then call is a scam, and a really good one too, I mean he could've done better and gained more money, but with the amount of money he was sitting on.. I mean.
I think very few people could resist running knowing no one knew who you are.
