He also ordered some fake ids and got busted picking them up. He was let got but people probably looking into that afterwards.
But I think the feds probably run alot of the TOR proxies. |
It looks like he was not a security or anonymity genius:

According to the criminal complaint, Ulbricht posted the question using his own real name. Less than one minute later, he changed his username to ?frosty.? And then, one assumes, banged his head against a hard wall several times.
According to the complaint, the Stack Overflow post served as key evidence for authorities trying to link Ulbricht to Silk Road. From the complaint:
Based on forensic analysis of the Silk Road Web Server, I know that the computer code ... includes a customized PHP strip based on 'curl' that is functionally very similar to the computer code described in Ulbricht's posting on Stack Overflow, and includes several lines of code that are identical to lines of code quoted in the posting.
Oh, and the encryption key on the Silk Road server ended with the substring "frosty@frosty." Whoops.
