Silk Road Forums

Given what we know and don't know right now, and OPs track record, I think this is a reasonable summary at this time.

Thank you for your trust.

Despite the many theories circulating around this forum, other markets, and clearnet sites, the security of Silk Road 2.0 has not been comprised. Many believe that the modification of DPR's PGP key ties into this, however that is not the case. After being in contact with DPR, I ask that on this point that you trust in my word as I promised that I wouldn't divulge the reason behind it yet.

The arrests today were the continued fallout of the Silk Road 1.0 seizure. Three moderators that were heavily involved in the previous operation were taken into custody. This was done via the data retrieved following Ross' arrest. Some are out on bail but for obvious reasons, they are unable to provide status updates for you all. DPR is currently weighing his options on how to proceed going forward, but rest assured that he is ensuring the safety of all those involved.

I ask that you all retain your faith in the Silk Road, your captain and above all, this community. It is not misplaced in any regard. Those captured by law enforcement yesterday helped spawn the freedom you all now enjoy in the form of a truly open marketplace. DPR continues to hold these values up and will make an official announcement soon. As I stated before, DPR and team are hard at work ensuring the continued existence of the Silk Road.

We are still here...

Cheers,

DoctorClu

From what I have seen so far today this all seems to be connected to their activities with Ross and the first Silk Road. Hopefully the new DPR is telling the truth and he didn't allow them access to anything important. I think it's safe to say at this point that anyone who had anything to do with the original site can never be allowed any amount of real power on another site in the future.

Exactly. Anyone whose real-life identity was known to Ross AND was an active staff member on the old Silk Road 1.0 could be compromised.

Until evidence presents itself to the contrary, I see no reason to be any more concerned about SR2 that I was yesterday or the day before.

If this is true than wouldn't DPR2.0 maybe be compromised? For him to take over sr2.0 he more than likely knew Ross personally. If Ross did sing like a canary than they probably know who dpr2.0 is and he is on the run as I type

DPR2 did not know DPR1 personally and SR was not handed down to him.  He started this on his own after SR1 was seized and he brought some old mods from SR1 on with him.

This is correct.

The market is functioning just fine.

Any word from DPR ??

He will be making a statement shortly.

Look at the font. Those aren't official documents. Its a fake.
