For all we know, this could be the biggest and more elaborate troll in history. According to many people here, asking people at the FBI and related departments seem to have no clue about anything SR or DRP related. Has anyone seen a mugshot?
DPR was all about the injustices of our current governments, the evil biasing and manipulation of the populations via the media.... etc. What better way to manipuate them? Trust me when I tell you, NEWS SITES CANNOT BE TRUSTED. They often get their information from other sites, including documents, or even 'interviews'. An elaborate troll could have taken the time to spoof all of that information. A story so big, EVERYBODY is going to run with it without much investigation. The more sites accept it, the more likely TV News programs will accept it. This would NOT be the first time the media has been fooled.
I just find it strange nobody at the FBI seems to now anything about this. These so called interviews can easily be faked. The people working at news stations are nothing more than random mother fuckers in charge of gathering information and putting stories together. They often have to take peoples words when they claim to be of importance depending on how badly they need information. A lot of information is not easily verified, and on top of that a lot of information is merely only checked with other news sites info(which could easily be wrong too).
Or on the flip side I would like to point everyone to this thread
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=216890.0
I've searched through countless FBI site seizures and every single one sticks to protocol. They also cite the exact reasons for why the site has been seized. I 100% believe that some sort of killswitch was activated. The watermark is a clear sign that the FBI hasn't actually gained control of the site.
Perhaps the watermark sign is some sort of troll mechanism? If DPR was arrested and the FBI did trigger something, what better way to alert us of it while simultaneously hinting that they were not completely succesful? I don't know. Just thinking outloud.

I'm sorry dude but lay off the drugs for a while.
It's done and over with... SR is gone, lets move on.
-
Completely agree !
-
Thanks, but I would like to point out I am 100% sober. I haven't done any drugs for over a year, let alone weed.
The arguments are sound here. I'm not trying to insinuate this is a hoax, I'm just saying, think about it. There are a LOT of signs that hint at this being a huge troll. When you know about how the media operates you would know it isn't as hard to fool them as you might think.
-
Completely agree !
Agree with what?
OP ?
We agree with the OP....something absolutely stinks here..
Forum still online...Bitcointalk forums hacked at the same time...
something just doesnt feel right..
Only PlutoPete raid for now is most credible for LEO actions..
and the fucking watermark thingie is eating our Brains...
WHATTHEFUCK!
-
if the site comes back up and running than i will agree with you, but until than i cant , i do tho see your concerns and i have read a bunch of theories of what went down, but when the mods themselves who are his staff are confirming the details what more can we do, its not like we can get on the site anyway whether its a hoax or not, no access right now means everything is locked up and tied up, lesson learned moved things fast, and better back up measures need to be in place
-
The mod just confirmed SR is shutdown... the thread is stickied for all you conspiracy theorists.
-
People on reddit talking about and posting proof of DPR's bail hearing set for Friday. SR donezo =(
-
Lets please not forget this.
According to these stories.... DPR is basically a multi-millionaire drug kingpen who RENTS a apartment with roomates who had no clue about his activities? Wait, an apartment? He also gave up access to the site and to his wallet containing $3million dollars before opting for silence to see an attourney? Something obviously is not right.
Magic Man,
Libertas only knows as much as we do, his thread isn't magical because it is stickied. He is just advising us to take appropriate action to protect ourselves.

So Bungee, any plan tpo migrate to BMR or some similar site? I checked out the vSheep Mar4ket, and it is kinda fcheesy. BMR, heesy too, but worldsw better that the sheep.
-
Maybe the watermark thing is LE's way of trolling us.
-
Bail? So this guy pays his way out and restores SR.. This is whats going to happen right? This is good news? :-)

What I find most strange about it is, not one major news station has run a story on it, not even in small print running on the bottom of the tv screen, and even stranger is that no agency has made any statements regarding the take down. I'm sure it's real, but there's definitely something strange about it! Not to mention, they say they seized $3.6 million in BTC's, there's no way there was only that many coins on this site! Where do you think the rest went!!??

CNN has had it front page on their site I believe. Though, eitherway, the media isn't all that infaliable as people might like to think. There have been countless incidences of running false/bullshit troll stories that were fed them.
There could easily only be that many BTC on the site.
I am betting that there was some kind of kill switch on the server. Say for instance, the wrong passcode is entered too many times, or a specific trigger code is entered, the site kills itself by ultra encrypting the data under many many layers. Then possibly the only way to unencrypt it would be to go to a physical location were those keys are stored for the emergency to restore the site. At least, this is how I was do it.

Oh, and as far as a bail hearing, I don't believe there's any way DPR will ever get bail. They said he potentially mafe $80 million in commish! They didn't say anything about seizing his personal coins, and I highly doubt that he doesn't have a shit ton of coins stashed away on a paper wallet, or a thumb drive somewhere. If he gets bail, they will never see him again!

I realize it is front page, but it hasn't been on any news tv shows as far as I know. I am an avid Howard Stern listener, so I know full well that news teams don't always get the story right, just sayin.

FBI had a live server image made on July 23, 2013 from the SR webserver and they are reading through 1.2million + PM's since May 24th.
No need to decrypt anything.
Also it is common in large cases like this to rubber hose the suspect for a day or two before officially booking the suspect. It was almost 24 hours between reported arrest time and site down.

If I was a rich ass motherfucker I'd totally post his bail and get him out of the country. I wish someone on here was like that or we could somehow pool money together. Everyone's got a stake in it to get their money back anyways.
