Yeah that was an oversight but I think he just didn't want any physical evidence linking him to the murder. Also it wouldn't make sense to blackmail him with the amount in the long term to be made with him. Otherwise this is a funny comment : )

I mean, I doubt he would’ve sent all of the collected belongings to DPR regardless if it was real or not, so it’s not really a blunder on DPR’s end. If they did, or didn’t send it, it likely wouldn’t have been everything. That’s how it goes when living a shady life

Where would he have sent them to?

You do know that you can copy information from a USB stick, right? At that point, them having had the stick in their possession at any point is the same as trusting them with it.

@@sweetfry Is that from some flat earthers or something? The guy literally had a journal with these details.

@@Nyakomata He shared the account with multiple people is what I meant. So theres debate about whether or not he was the one who did the hired hits or whatever. The point of having multiple people acting as DPR is so that if anything happened to one of them that DPR would still exist and continue silkroad... hence why shortly after Silk Road shut down and Ulbricht arrested, Silk Road 2 came out and DPR was back at it again. The reason the name DPR was even used was because of how Dread Pirate Roberts in Princess Bride seemed to never die, because the last DPR always taught the next DPR and he would take the helm when he was gone.

Gee, and ppl call him a "computer genius" because he knew PGP? My bet is CIA told him to do all of this shit to collect vendors info, and then just dumped him and the whole unacknowledged intel op called "Silk Road".

It is like the reporter in the opening said: "LSD, Cocaine and Ecstasy are now just a click of your mouse away". He just didn't think about our politicians, the congress or your local parliament building. Those substances are just some steps away, as swabs and samples have clearly shown ... Hehehehe

That has nothing to do with what I just said, first of all they had no idea that there was evidence on the laptop so that's a fishing expedition based on your assumption that there's any likelihood that the evidence would be destroyed. Also, if he was unaware of an investigation why would there be any assumption that the evidence would likely be destroyed? There wasn't even hard evidence for pretty much anything in this case until they stole the laptop, they weren't issued a warrant so they stole the laptop. It was highly contested and the judge didn't allow them to use this defense because it broke the entire case and they wanted to put someone behind bars for the silkroad, even though there were MULTIPLE people running the DPR account. Go watch the documentary on this whole case it'll help you understand what actually happened here.

Definitely a good book.

The guys that "scammed him" were fbi agents. I'm very surprised that he didn't mention that in the video. They orchestrated the hit, photographed the guy as a dead body. Also the agents were accused of stealing a tons of bitcoin for themselves. It's a wild story..

>some people aren't build for the dark side of the world Seems like you didn't really get the point of the video. He just didn't practice good opsec and subsequently got caught. Being smart in other areas doesn't mean you are smart when it comes to these matters, being a specialist in some fields doesn't equal being a generalist.

An example of how libertarianism can lead people astray. He could have done well enough in legitimate business, but his twisted libertarian ideas led him to reject authority.

@@MaxSaki373 then he wasn’t made for the dark sides of the internet. Just so you’re aware, accessing and using the dark web in itself isn’t a crime. Tor was simply made with privacy in mind. If you’re engaging in highly illegal activities on the dark web, yet can’t obtain decent OPSEC or learn about decent OPSEC, you might not be best fit candidate to use the dark sides of the internet. Thanks for saying what I said, differently.

@@MaxSaki373 Also, OPSEC isn’t the only aspect of this he got wrong. You can setup a Tor box and still use the same setup and use the clear web. I can have a VM setup specifically so my home IP address never interacts with the VM in anyway and setup a VM to legitimately commit crimes on the same network setup I use to go to college and do work on. OPSEC wasn’t necessarily at fault here, it was mere stupidity. Which was my point. He could’ve used the clear web and alt-alias’d both. DPR also wasn’t the best programmer, SysAdmin or networker/server manager either but even then, that’s still not at fault here. Nachash and The Antichrist/Intangir used to operate Doxbin on the dark web and Intangir was caught for his activities with Lizard Squad, though he was never caught for doing anything with Doxbin. And Nachash admittedly said the feds likely exploited his code - which is crappy PHP code - to hijack his site and he was also never caught. OPSEC isn’t the only important aspect, neither is being a good programmer or networker. It’s all of the above. Being able to not be greedy and using good judgement to know when enough is enough and when pack your shit up and leave is arguable just as important as having good OPSEC. It’s the little things too.

@@MaxSaki373 Also, you’re spot about the part of him not being good at everything, again which was my point. But that contradicts your statement prior to that. If he’s not good with OPSEC and only good with physics, for example, then maybe he should stick to that and not be a generalist. It doesn’t take much to learn either. For example, if you’re already a tradesmen and you possess decent mechanical ability, then you at least have your feet wet. Plumbers aren’t HVAC technicians, but they have a brain built for mechanics and can learn how to repair AC systems. I was a regular machine operator performing setups at a corrugation plant and then became a plumber for a bit and now I’m a supervisor in a carpentry shop. I was able to perform those and move up the letters, from a regular Joe-shmoe machine operator to a tradesman, because I started in a mechanical field and at least knew how to use a socket wrench. I wasn’t born with the ability.

sounds like a good set up for prosecutors too lmfao

@@BLaCkKsHeEp didnt the prosecutors like ignore all evidence to this case?

Well he is never portrayed as a crime lord but just as another member of this gang, surely one of the lower guys who do negotiate on the behalf of others. People who get busted and take the blame for all of it to protect the higher ups. However yes I don't believe any Hells Angels guy would have looked up how to get on SR and installed Tor and started chatting to this guy. The story seems fishy from an outside perspective. But this guy was making tons of moneys through his market place and he thought at that point he had someone killed for 80k $. So he probably started to feel like a powerful crimelord and in his mind it made sense that Gangs wanted in on this and he wanted in on the Gangs Profits. Dollar signs before his eyes and everything. I can totally see why he fell for it but as an outsider watching a youtube video that has already spun a narrative for you it is easy to see the conclusion.

@@KiraTV1 Kira, Will I enjoy it? I can assume with high likely hood, that yes. I consumed a lot of content about that topic. That guy is just a very strange dude, and I am impressed with what he was able to pull off. It's surreal. Sometimes I wonder this: "How was he so grandiose not to realize that eventually he will get caught?" I think it's a hard question to answer. No matter the anonymity of the protocol, I just find it was very foolish to think that there will not be other ways to be caught. It's also a very strange dynamic that he had with that Variety Jones character, but I can see how that sort of person could pull of or be a part of SilkRoad. What's odd about Ross, is that he's upper middle class and there must be a moment where he just decided to move over to the dark side, and then he just kept falling deeper and deeper. Thanks for you comment and I look forward to your next videos.

It isn't explicitly about Ross, or the actual function of the silk road, which is why I led with that. It's about curtin the admin and a dramatic, narrative telling of his story and the story of one of the corrupt agents, in a back and forth perspective switch from their meeting until the arrest of Ross. The culmination of all my interest on the topic, read all the books, watched all the movies, read all the forum posts and the compiled info. It has probably close to 400 hours work done and I was terrified to finish it, since I have no idea how good it is. I think it might be a flop, but I spent over a year on and off working on it, rewrote it at least 6 times in different styles and presentations. So will see I guess!

@@KiraTV1 Kira, I wish you luck to get appreciation for your work, because even this video alone is better than the American Kingpin book, and I re-watch this video from time to time. You rarely find me do that with a lot of video. And I don't even watch the Silk Road movie that much. I do believe in you and in your ability to bring out great content with it, and now that I learnt what's about, I am super pumped to watch it. I see you have very good content and know how to hunt down marginal stories that are very interesting. You just have to find a way to monetize it and get paid, check out what Jack from DarknetDiaries does, because I think there are people out there that would pay, considering how bad the content on the internet got. Funny enough, with all the capabilities out there and all the open info to learn, the majority of content sucks, I think because people don't want to put in the work and think it's easy to produce at high level.

Barely Sociable covered this story much better. Kira pretty much just watched his video and half-assed his own version.

@@GaliosUA on that video as we speak, both are informative maybe he just wanted to try make a shorter video but cover the main points to the story.. both great watches so far

"You are bad guy. But that does not mean you are "Bad Guy".- Zangeiff.

He wasn't against firearm sales and hacking tools. Those were sold on his website. The only thing that he was actually against was CP. Though people sold hard drives on SR as well. And what was on those drives? Who knows - but most likely - nothing legal.

@@serioussam909 Yes he was lmao. He was against the illegal sales of firearms on HIS website. Not on clones though.

@@capitalismsucks9590 He ran a side-project Armory for a while that specialised in illegal weapons, but shut it down after a while, because it was not profitable and focused on drugs instead.

@@serioussam909 Any proof to that?

Your life must so sad if your forced to use hard druga to feel good.

Yeah. It was indeed a shame.
