Maybe I'm all wrong about this guy, but I'm posting anyway. If I'm proven wrong, great. If not, hopefully I can help others avoid this seller.
So I was a little skeptical ordering from a new seller w/no feedback, but price was right and he was a US seller, so I figured I'd give it a go. Besides the item I was ordering, although it is a prescription medication, is unscheduled, so if the seller is LE, I shouldn't have to worry.
So first I place an order and it gets canceled because this BRAND NEW seller has a "thief," whatever that means. So did this thief steal your goods, your computer, addresses of buyers, what? I didn't ask, he still had his listings up, and he claimed everything had been recovered.
Now this seems pretty unprofessional, but I give him the benefit of the doubt. I PM him, ask if he is still taking orders. He says yes, go ahead and re-order, he'll get shipment out Monday.
So, I re-order, the value of BTC has gone up a little so it ends up being cheaper. Cool. I'm expecting my order probably today, and I get a message with a tracking number. I look up the tracking number and it says it is out for delivery, but wrong City and State. I figure, since he supposedly sent the item out three days ago, and is only sending out tracking number today, he must have sent me the wrong tracking number.
No, he says. The shipment must have been redirected because my address is being watched. He's seen it before in his vast experience and I should be extra careful. Hmmm. I'm sorry but I'm just not buying that story. So of all the mail I get every day the one random package that happens to contain meds is redirected?? I mean unless you labeled the package "handle with care - drugs enclosed" I just don't see that happening.
So the guy still has hardly any feedback, but he's all over the forums making friends and whatnot. Seems a little fishy to me. Maybe you shouldn't quit your day job just yet, Cap'n because you aren't very good at this.
-
Wait what....redirected...was it to Washington D.C?
-
Sounds odd. Never heard of mail being redirected. That would require the post office to actually know where your mail is and their tracking system just isn't that sophisticated. As for his address being watched I certainly hope he isn't mailing your shit from his house. Sounds altogether iffy to me.
-
No, I mean redirected as in returned to sender. He says my address is being watched, not his. And he knows this because it has happened before.
I guess last time it happened he made some calls and found out his package was returned because the receiving party was being watched??? (Mind you, he didn't actually say this, I'm just trying to illustrate how ridiculous his claims are).
Anyway, he marked the package as "in transit" 3 days ago, and he sent me a tracking number today. The tracking number shows the package being sent and received on the same day. So at the very least he is marking shit as sent several days before he actually sends it.
Basically, everything he says seems like BS.

Aynaun, your comment above gave me the strength to talk about my experience with this vendor.
I had a similar experience with CaptainJohnny. I felt that he was using social engineering tactics to elicit personal information from me with my gun inquiries.
I'm really fearful that he/she might LE and is posing as a gun seller specialist. I decided not to continue with the deal because he was giving me really bad vibes (asking why I needed the firearms/what group i'm associated with) and wanted me to pay via western union?!?! I have a feeling that he is a fed or informant :|
I can safely talk about this on the forums to warn others and say this because I did not hand any personal info to him/her.
What can SR do about this guy?
Aynaun - What was the outcome of your dealings with him/her/fed?
More genuine/non le gun sellers on SR please. We are genuine buyers.
-
Call me paranoid, but my feeling is that he is trying to up his feedback rating by offering items for sale and then saying it got lost in the mail/stolen, whatever. He gives you a refund, so you give him 5/5 feedback. Then once his feedback gets up there, people will trust him to sell guns, at which point his agenda, whatever that may be, kicks in.
His signature on the forums is "more guns and explosives on SR." He was never on here to sell pills. I'm not terribly worried because, as I said, the item I tried to purchase was not illegal to buy/possess, just illegal to sell without a prescription. I can buy online cheaper, but Bitcoin for me is free money.
I think his feedback is bogus and nothing that represents what he actually has for sale.
Either that or, as I said in my feedback, he is simply incompetent. As someone who works with the public, I have to say that there are a lot of morons out there - but you have to have at least half a brain to set up Tor/Bitcoin, etc. don't you?
-
Captain John-E-Law?
What an insult that would be if it were true.
From his posts here in the forum he is very well versed in the principles of anarcho-capitalist libertarianism. So well so that he would have to be reading a script if he didn't actually understand the infallible logic of the position.
To be a fascist enforcer of everything he appears to despise would be even worse of an insult, it would be evil.
He would have to be one of the true Elsworth Tooeys of the world.
Of course you could simply be an anti gun troll too. How would we know the truth in either case?
If he buys here (anyone.....anyone know?) and then uses the same name to sell he is violating one of the common sense principles in the sellers guide. Anyone who has sold to him has at least some type of contact info on him.
But we have the forums, for better or for worse and if anyone smart enough to check them regularly, someone well known preferably, has had a good deal with him it should be posted soon enough now that this thread has started.
Of course 50% of the names both here AND on SR could be one cop or a cubicle full of cops all killing time on your extorted tax dollars ;)

He is clearly collecting addresses by refunding your order. This is a common LE tactic and could even be fucking homeland security.
Captainjohnny tried to gain my address and also was asking very suspicious questions about WHY I wanted to buy a firearm. Then he wanted payment via WU probably to get my head on CCTV in their office. I told him to fuck off and never contact me again. I don't take chances, CaptainJohnny is clearly LE and cannot be trusted. WTF? Western Union, how stupid does he think we are?
If you have ever supplied your address to him make sure you move all contraband immediately. CaptainJohnny is also rated the worst ever vendor on SR.
CaptainJohnny - BUYER BEWARE >:(
-
Looks like he is selling his stock of soma cheap too. Says all the 'anti-gun fuckwads' are scamming and extorting him. Not sure what that means. Nothing about his short stint here makes sense to me. He would waver between sounding cool in some posts to absolutely raving and going off in others. Go figure.

maybe the guy is hoping to get 50% of the btc's for sending nothing. i mean he has proof of sending which would be good in resolution. take order, send a empty package with tracking to some random address and then blame buyer in resolution. sounds like a scam someone would try to me.

So glad he doesn't have my personal information. Look at his listings and attitude:
"I thought the pills would be a good way to get started and build some rep, but I'm getting scammed and extorted. I want out of the pill business. Selling at a discount to move them."
CaptainJohnny Extorted? By who?
He is the one collecting our private information and then not sending the goods. Also, why the fuck do you need to know who I associate with. I just want a gun, no questions. And Western Union?!? No escrow? >:(
This snitch is on a downhill spiral! 67% rating an dropping.
-
I corresponded with him, and I don't think he's just trolling/newbie/addresses collecting scammer , he's OBVIOUSLY LEA.
I won't write here what I'm basing this one as to not give him counter-counter-intelligence.

Think harder. You'll figure why. :-]

@Roger67 - I would love to know more about what CaptainJohnny is saying to you in SR private messages. CaptainJohnny is now threatening to expose my details to his "contacts" in the FBI, because of my forum posts. Please PM me to so that we can help protect each other from him.
Is this guy for real? He doesn't even have any of my details!
Please beware of this guy and DO NOT supply any personal information to him.

Is this the best they got?
Review of his "Can you really make Silk Road and TOR faster?" for .12 BTC:
"Well, I've been communicating with him for several days now. He does not do this for money, but for the mere purpose of providing freedom for others who have very little of their own. I just wanted to leave a feedback here cause he's having a hard time from all these gun haters trying to rob him and I think he's a decent guy so here's my 5 stars."
Just meaningless words to promote his image and reinforce his claims of being extorted and robbed. Now his product is another issue on it's own, he's basically telling people how to make their browser more subjectable to breaching. He tells you this beforehand, and again and again throughout the description. Seems like he tried to over-project the negativity of making these changes to Tor, because if he didn't warn you of them he would surely be accused of spreading misinformation that leaves SR users vulnerable.
"Yes, but it comes at the price of reduced security."
"I'll give you for free what is being sold by others, because I believe it to be a very bad idea"
"Now, is anyone watching you that closely? Probably not, but you can be damn sure Silk Road is being watched. And that means YOU when you come here. Is your traffic suitably obfuscated? Why would you want to make it dramatically easier for the LE Pigs to analyze? Do you smoke weed while dancing naked on the roof of a cop car? I didn't think so."
"I sure as hell wouldn't do it, but if you insist..."
"You will lose more than 85% of the network and become very vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks."
"Note the conspicuous absence of any explanation of the consequences. Now, who would benefit from you being unaware that you reduced TOR's effectiveness so severely? Who would want that to happen? Think about it. I'm not making accusations, just saying... The shoe fits."
^ Police would benefit from me being unaware that I reduced TOR's effectiveness so severely. People who spread this information want that to happen. Think about it. I'm not making accusations, just saying... The shoe fits.
Another thing, who calls police "LE Pigs"? They're just pigs.
-
I just read through this and wow. By the way, whoever it was that said he has a good understanding of anarcho-capitalism is dead wrong.
I've been hashing that stuff out with him over here:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=2916.msg26545#msg26545
But I am done with that crap if he is pulling off shit like this. The guy's not even worth talking to.
-
CaptainJohnny has apparently left leaving this ludicrous message in his seller page:
Messages sent to this account will no longer receive a response. Law Enforcement and Liberals control this site. You would be wise to abandon it. Too bad, I really liked the concept. Shitbags are their own worst enemy.
Apparently he never had any business history here except for the digital Tor guide and two items which aren't listed anymore. So his claims are unbased. Aafaik he's either a troll, a scammer or LE. The power of the community proved itself once again.
-
TBH I thought he was just trolling. But I think it was his tone more than being a troll. I personally found some of his stuff to be useful. That said I have not read it all
Also his point about pigs and liberal pigs controlling this site are very valid.
If I were a pig/libnazi and knew there was not a chance to get to SR through regular channels, I would cause a disturbance in the force from within.
I would pick a high ranking vendor and all my little piglet mates would order the product and once we received it, say we never got the product, give the vendor a bad rating and start a topic on him in rumor mill.
The vendor then gets pissed off and leaves.
Or I would just start a topic on a vendor with just one sale and call him a pig, scammer or troll. Call somebody LE and it kinda sticks psychologically/ subconsciously.
So, everyone who is a pig or a liberalnazi please stand up.
I for one take every thread in this rumor mill with a grain of salt. Use your gut and order a fucking product. Or read about proven vendors and order from them.
If you are guided by the shit talk of some of the members here in rumor mill you are more than likely supporting a pig/libnazi or some impatient little whining prick(notice I said more than likely)
Use your noggins friends. Lets keep SR as strong as it can be.

He was a high ranking vendor? For the buyer to win the dispute he'd have to have at least a few successfully completed purchases.
To make big claims you need proves to back them. If he was real, he wouldn't leave.
-
Not just anybody can be called an LEO without evidence. Captain simply did way too much wrong, like asking people to use WU and asking why they need a gun.
It's nice to know the drug users (once again) are smarter than the law.
-
CaptainJohnny was a character invented by a Law Enforcement Agency. Plain and Simple.
It seems that his main purpose was to attempt to infiltrate the SR community and collect personal details of large potential buyers of guns/drugs here on SR.
CaptainJohnny then coerced customers to finalize out of escrow with WU thus compromising their safety and anonymity (WU has a strict policy of CCTV monitoring). Then he CANCELS their order after he has harvested their personal information and supplied it to his agency. CaptainJohnny further quizzed for address, date of birth and telephone numbers.
If it oinks like a pig and waddles like a pig…

Are you serious??? :o
-
We would never give our date of birth or any other identifying information to a seller or buyer.
They don't need the information and it can easily be used against you.
You should respect your privacy and protect it as much as you can.
I always respect the customers absolute privacy and encourage PGP, all information is also SECURELY deleted and encrypted. Most of the top sellers, Novocaine, Pharmville, Juergen already do these things very well.
Security is paramount!

My mistake. I think I was mistaking hi for you. Heil Rothbard!
-
No worries. It's not like you have a face to put a psuedonym to ;)
-
I went over my correspondence with CaptainJohnny again. He's obviously LE, not a troll or a scammer*, and this case should serve as a warning telltale sign for all about what's coming (SE).
It oinks like a pig. It waddles like a pig. It IS a pig.
* I won't tell you what method I used to find that out as to not give him counter-counter-int'.
-
You people are your own worst enemies.
You think LE is that easy? How old are you? Maybe your local pigs are that dense, but the fedpigs are not dumb. Do you think, in the billions of dollars they waste, that they can't find $150 for an account? How many Accounts do you think they have? They have no fiscal worries. Do the math, morons... Calling me LE makes absolutely no fucking sense at all. But I'm not here to convince you of that. I couldn't care less what you believe. If I really am LE, what good is this post? What other Seller Accounts do I hold? Hm? You're fucking idiots.
Being educated does not make me LE. But it's your loss. I trust no buyers here. Lies in feedback, lies in the OP, it's all about making Leftist Agenda into Law on SR. I could stick with it and maybe improve my feedback, but it's too much of a risk in my business.
I made more money the old fashioned way, and I had far less of this juvenile bullshit to put up with. Someone who puts their ass on the line to get you a gun is doing you a fucking favor. If you disrespect that, fuck you. No amount of money is worth the risk for what I do, I won't tolerate a bunch of slanderous ingrates.
Bags of weed do not have serial numbers and names and purchase records of make and model to make a pattern out of. Those buyers who refuse to, or cannot, think this through are a detriment to themselves. In spite of how much I'd like to see them fucked by their own demands and failure to induce forethought and planning, I protect even them from themselves by declining to do business with people who are dangerously stupid. I look at the big picture of seeing Silk Road succeed in spite of their kind. I will not embark on a crusade against these dickheads at Silk Road's expense.
I have kept no record of any address, and even fulfilled orders made after my decision to stop doing business here. Naturally, they look like they're going to autocomplete.... DCNs cleared almost a week ago. Will probably lose the product, the cost for shipping, and get feedback pissed on again... Fucking Libnazis.
As with Bitcoin, my only concern for Silk Road is that it's participants are not smart enough to understand the value of what they are screwing up. My product was not SR's bread and butter anyway. I hope it continues to prosper in spite of it's users, but suspect it is already too late. The endgame is afoot and you're playing right into their hand... I don't intend to be hanging around when the shit goes down, but I really hope I'm wrong. I'm not putting even one of my eggs into this basket now that I've gotten a good look at it.
Why do rats abandon a sinking ship? Because it's sinking.
I'll have to concede to some of the Libtards. It seems that some people really shouldn't have guns; themselves. Get one from someone who doesn't think it through and doesn't care if it lights up an X-RAY. I don't know of any government that will send you a love letter and toss a gun in the incinerator. Go ahead, fuck yourselves by being too stupid and ungrateful for your own good. You've earned it. What little I picked up to sell here at the request of potential buyers, I've already re-sold IRL to far smarter and more respectable people. I won't make the mistake of doing a favor for you again.
Guns are not bags of weed. If you can't wrap your head around the important facets of that reality, you WILL get fucked. It won't be by me.
All you've really proven here, is that you are willing to take private conversations and make them public. I could have easily quoted YOU and vindicated myself. But I have the decency to keep what is private, private. Who can trust YOU after you've breached that trust? Assholes. If you want to see a pig, look in a mirror.
Why did I wait so long to reply? What benefit can posting this message possibly have for me?
P.S. I respect Anarcho's position on how things should be, but his inability to see things as they are negates his input on that other topic... In a perfect world, he would be right. But this is far from a perfect world. As evidenced by what has been done in this thread, hate and causing harm to others is far more valuable to the average human than civilized, voluntary profiteering. They cut off their nose to spite their face. I can't trust people like that. the market is not driven by money, it is driven by hate. The only thing anyone wants to spend money on, is an opportunity to do damage to his fellow man. Profit is tied directly to the damage done, and it is held up as something to be proud of. No wonder the economy is so fucked, eh? Once you accept that conclusion, it all falls into place.
-
tl;dr
you fucking pig
-
tl;dr
Exactly. You people are fucking stupid. You have the attention span of a fruit fly. You can't read, much less learn...
I refused to do business via WU, Picunix, Liberty Reserve, and refused to give out my address to have someone send cash to me. I'm pretty sure these same fake accounts were made by the ones now implying that I asked for that information.
Are you effing retarded? I'm goign to expose myself even more by using a currency like that?
Silk Road is going down, and it is people like you who are taking it there.
I'll be happy to keep selling drugs on my other accounts, taking your money to fry what little is left of your brains. This account isn't a priority, that's why it doesn't get used frequently...
Did you think I was going to add guns to my list of items and risk the backlash of the Libnazis affecting that business?
This whole mess was done merely to prove a point. Hate is what you value. I leave you to your empty lives, Libtards. I gave you instructions and you still couldn't connect the dots... My other accounts would be easy to identify if you could pry the goggles of your hateful agendas from your eyes. But your hatred blinds you to the obvious...
What purpose could my response have except to prove this point? "CaptainJohnny" won't be doing business on SR anymore. What need has he to clear his name? None. If he is LE, Do you think it's hard for him to come up with $150 for another account? Or $1500 for 10 more? Why hang around on this one?
My other accounts bring in about $1200/wk! For next to zero risk! You proved Anarcho wrong, and spat in the face of someone who was trying to give you a freedom you had been stripped of! And all the while, you're too stupid to see the breadcrumbs right in your face! It's like being in a room full of illiterate people who insist there is no difference between "their," "there," and "they're." All proud to be so dumb that they agree... You make incredible asses of yourselves and are too clueless to realize it. Suck each others' dicks and be proud of how dumb you are... I love taking your money and watching you kiss my ass and praise me on other accounts. Idiots! Fucking IDIOTS!
If I really am LE, then so many of you are really fucked. But I'm not, so breathe easy. I like your money. I've done business with a few of the contributors to this thread and you don't even fucking know it even though the clues are all right there... The more you mock me, the more you mock yourselves for not being able to fight your way out of a wet paper bag.
I've survived in my business without a single catch by LE for almost 30 years. It isn't because I'm as dumb as you are.
You all need to get some IQ points, or you'll be the end of SR.
This will be CaptainJohnny's last post. I'm not going anywhere. The CaptainJohnny experiment has run it's course. All points intended have been solidly proven. You fucktards deserve what you get. I'm happy to profit from your idiocy.
Maybe I'm Anarcho talking to himself, because that is the only way he can find intelligent conversation? Maybe I'm EnterTheMatrix? We had competing information about Tor, and seemed to both be the only ones comprehending it... I'm the one who pointed out that his 'trick' resulted in Tor being very easy for LE to defeat... Maybe I'm 6 of the other Less Talk, More Action types? Maybe it's all a lie? What can you losers ever hope to prove? If you put all your heads together, you still don't have a full brain...
-
damn I was hoping in all that you would have at least come out and said 'I never asked for telephone numbers and birth dates'
I guess now I am going to be thinking for the rest of my life that you OR tacobell is full o shit.
Although you never asked me for my birth date or phone number ;)

You're really making right wingers look bad, and that's coming from a leftie. If you're off your meds, then please get back on them. If not, then I'd like buy whatever teabag you've been smoking, Captain!
