If you owned the Silk Road where would you go?
 

If you were Dread Pirate Roberts where would you have been based?

Maybe France? I notice extraditing those guys is a huge pain in the ass. I think the former Soviet Republics would probably seize everything and send you back to the US if the price was rights. So, Don't think I would go there.

Where would you be?

It does not matter who owns it or where they live its how it was setup that's the problem.

i dont need to worry about that, i dont deal with drugs and weapons

Bolivia without a doubt.

If I had it and had the money he supposedly had I would have cashed out and either sold the site or shut it down and went to live in the south of France. Getting extradited from France for non-violent crimes is very hard. I would spend my days soaking up the sun, checking out the babes on the beach and relaxing.

Safe there for Gringos? I don't know much about it. I know they are a major coke exporter and I think they have some lithium mines. So maybe some nice upper and upper middles class areas?

how they find his identity?

are you worried? :winkwink:

why? are they free where you live? :)

well - not free - but legal (mostly) :1orglaugh

Supposedly.
He posted this under his real gmail name, then changed it to Frosty.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...ng-curl-in-php

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.

Prison.

.

I would say Thailand.

Smart move. people get caught because of greed more than anything. 2 million or 5 million is never enough.

Sounds great. I have no idea why he kept going when he allegedly had all that cash stashed. Why not just sell and live life, greed I guess.

russia and open silk road rules :2 cents:

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.

Because you cant exactly get rid of 80,000 in BTCs without raising major red flags and crashing the market.

It's telling that some of you project your own "take the money and run" greed onto him.

He actually believed in what he was doing.

Profiting from facilitating illegal activity such as drug dealing, child porn, etc (even allegations of a murder-for-hire scheme)... :disgust

Child porn is on the tor network, not on silkroad...

While, Silk Road was primarily involved with the illegal drug trade market, the site did have an active Erotica section, and there is speculation that CP was hosted on the same servers as Silk Road:

Remove the CP charges, and what do you have? Just illegal drug dealing, money-laundering, and other illegal activities such as the occasional murder-for-hire.

In all seriousness does anyone really believe this guy was that stupid? If he left that many clues then anyone on this forum could have tracked this guy down in less than 24 hours.

I call bullshit :2 cents:

I do think this'll make a better film than The Social Network (2010) :winkwink:

There's a movie scenario right there :upsidedow

Cuba..........

plea bargain, expensive lawyers, shop and grass some vendors, 4 yrs in a min level open prison, 2 off for good behaviour, spend the remainder to pay back some debts. email kim, set up SR2, job done

Taiwan.

Good internet and no extradition treaty with the US.

http://dailysmoker.com/blog/fbi-takes-down-silk-road ... always a good place to stay tuned in regards to drugs :thumbsup

hear-say and utter bullcrap imo ... if you stayed tuned you'd soon find out there was no victim of said hired hitman around that time ... dont believe all the BS told on media ... :pimp

Best answer.

That's what you get when you get involved with illegal business. The ride is short lived and you'll only end up in jail or dead. Once you're in there is no out.

3 miles from the shore.

That is a good one, But I wonder if and how much you have to pay the communist leadership. I remember reading in blow about a crooked hedge fund guy living there.

Theres a market for these too!

and what he did? he havent been selling, he just offered the place where others could. but he did nothing wrong, am i right? or he had some fee money from transactions that have been done on silkroad? the registration was free and you have been in contact with the thread poster, and there was no ad banners if i am right ... still dont understand what exact crime he did ... :2 cents:

registration was free , but for seller account you need to pay him 450 bucks or plus i guess.
plus they are saying he hired hitman to kill his previous co-worker.
so thats that.
you mean its ok to provide market place to sell illegal stuff ? nope, its illegal too.

yes, but thinking about it again, he made there sections like buy coaine and so, so he knew he was helping crime ... not like he was running some uncensored free forum or guestbook ... right ... and that gunman thing, oh man wow ... :Oh crap
