How the fuck do YOU say this? Also to answer your shitty, stupid question.... Of course no vendor has been busted by a honey pot vendor... Where the fuck do you come up with this stupid bullshit??? Thanks for sharing with us what your paranoid non vendor ass would do if you were to get arrested.. Please read your post again and then realize how stupid it is. I'll help you out and break it down for you..... Once again as you know there have been over 200 threads in the last 6 months alone about possible/alleged SR bust.. Not one turned out to be a true report...yet 100's posted on the threads as if it was a fact and all true. Many were "hero" members and of course all were paranoid and feeding off each other. Yet when the thread ran it's course and the facts came out how much once again it was total bullshit..the thread quietly went away and all the posters went into hiding for a few days and waited for yet another false report to start all over again. So just so you know the facts...NO Silk Road vendor has been busted because of Silk Road. EVER! In over 1.5 years. OF COURSE.....NO. NEVER! Wow...thanks for telling us nothing. And no one cares what you would do or not do. Also noted how you are trying to put this idea into peoples heads...like a subliminal message..as if there is actually a vendor out there that actually got in trouble but has not come forward and you are letting them know it would be the right thing to do... Thanks You haven't seen any post because no vendor has been busted!!!! FACT! You would think it would be common? ? What the fuck are you on?? At first I thought it was just weed(I just say that because most of the paranoid post are made by posters who admit they are high as shit on weed...not because I think there is any problem with smoking weed ..now I think it is something more(no problem at all!! just curious what drug makes you this paranoid) Also how would it be common for vendors on Silk Road to be busted?? If it was common there would be no silk road...dummy. You saying that it takes you a while to trust new vendors is about the only thing you have said that I have no problem with. I think every person on here is skeptical of a new vendor. Though if they stay in escrow there is little to no risk at all. But still it is hard to be one of the new vendors first customer. And it is even harder being a new vendor! You have to answer 1000 questions over and over again. Even if you answer them all in your vendor profile...people still feel they have to ask.. just so they feel more comfortable...then when they finally do place an order they will start messaging you within 3 hours wanting a DCN(even though you state that you won't give them out) and they will go into the rumor mill and make a stupid post about if anyone has dealt with you and how they are nervous because it has been 27 hours and they have not got there package yet(even though you told them it is 2-5 days)...or it has been 8 minutes and they have not got a return message..( only to find out had they refreshed their own page ...the vendor responded 5 min ago). Then you will have more idiots that have not done business with you yet will accuse you of being LEO. Then 10 more will comment how they know you are an old vendor ...do to how you made a sentence. Then 2 days will past and the OP will get his package and everything will be perfect and he will leave you feedback how he got it in less then 3 days from the other side of the country...yet he will give you advice on how to package your shipments..even though he has never shipped any drugs in his life. Then he will tell you how you should print your address labels because hand written labels stand out in the 6 billion packages a year that USPS deals with.... Oh and as for the bullshit thread he made about you??? Don't worry...he won't go back in there and admit how wrong he was..instead he won't make another post..and if you call him out he won't respond and if he does he will hide behind the "better safe then sorry" excuse... You can't be to cautious.. Oh and he ordered 1 Xanax to try you out since you are a new vendor before he makes his bulk(16 pills) order. Also he needed to make sure it is "real"... I could go on for about 9 more paragraphs...but I don't want to get off topic Wow...another great paragraph by you. I don't even need to comment ...as by now we have realized how you want to put into peoples minds how they should or should not respond.But I will . Of course the problem with your silly request is.... there is no fucking person to respond to this(but me) as NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN BUSTED! FACT!!! I like how you try and point out how you know this is a stupid post that will get a lot of response from the "crazy's" on here that love to post on these "So and so is LEO" and "So and so got busted" total bullshit threads. This tells me that you have read these silly post before and you know just how many people will come in here and post total bullshit. What you should have said is this----- " I know this post is about the stupidest thing I can post besides "I am selling BTC for $3 a coin and taking Paypal" or" PGP is a must!" but I am high as shit and paranoid as fuck and I needed to make a post ... So I chose this stupid topic because it has been at least one week since someone made a post about a vendor getting busted..and the last "Vendor getting busted" thread was not about an American!!!!..So I thought I would start this... I also threw in the word "Honeypot" to mix it up a bit and add something that could totally happen(not)! In fact ...I am sure it has happened and they just did not come forward.. so please.... the usual suspects..do not post in here.. Thanks" That would have been a better OP. This is one of my favorite paragraphs by you.. Talk about calling the kettle black! I love how you used the number 10...Yea ..if they have over 10 they are totally legit and valued members of the community! And for this thread...of course no throw away accounts!!! (like yours) I mean.... this is WAY to good an OP to have some "throw away" account respond! It needs valued members like yourself who have been on here an contributed to this forum.. Your other 12 posy were really, really good by the way So there you go... Why did you make a new account for this post? I already answered that...but still would like to hear your great reason(s). Also why use the term HONEYPOT??? Do you actually believe LE would become a vendor to bust buyers??? Or as your title says ... to bust vendors? Do you actually believe honeypots exist? Or did you just throw that on there? I am not someone that believes a vendor will never get busted. I just do not think it will be because of Silk Road. There i s a 1000000x more likely a chance that a vendor gets popped IRL.actually is has to happen one day I think just based on the number of vendors on here. I hope it never does. There are so many problems with LE setting up buyer or vendor accounts to bust people on here. It is a legit topic and would take a post 20 times loner then this dumb one(mine...not yours) to explain to people why it would not be worth their time and/or it would be very hard to get evidence to get an actual conviction. I know they would like to. I am sure they are trying. But SR has a great system in place. The BTC is pretty fucking sweet. If everyone follows the SR rules and takes normal common sense precautions... it would be pretty tough to get busted being a vendor on here. And I think it would be almost impossible to get busted being a buyer. Still being cautious is smart. Being paranoid is your choice. Some people can not help themselves. Others are paranoid because of the drugs they take. Some will tell you" it is good to be a little paranoid".(it's not) but I can agree with all that. Whatever. What is really wrong with all these types of post is that there are a lot of total idiots in here. ( there have been people that have actually gone to mtgix.com to buy BTC at $6 a coin and didnt realize they were getting fucked!) They will read these bullshit post and actually believe it as facts. Then they will in turn not use SR. I know this because as a vendor I get at least 10 questions a month from "buyers" that will ask me if I am ok because they "herd" (read) that vendors are getting busted! I of course tell them they read wrong and explain how it just didn't happen and I am just fine. They will go on to tell me they, after "hearing" that news decided not to make any purchases and lay low!! I can't believe that is true... but it is. This is why I am so against these type of post.(not this one really as I am just against this one because it is so fucking stupid) Not only because they are factually wrong but spreading paranoia... when their all ready is a layer of it "naturally" ...since we are online buying and selling illegal drugs... is just stupid. We should be starting threads about how "no one has ever been in trouble because of Silk Road" How great and safe the BTC is. How many great vendors there are on here and how THEY take all the risk How awesome a job DPR and friends have done with the security of this site. Just more positive post about the good things. Not these bullshit, paranoid, nonsense that NEVER proves to be true. EVER! So I guess it is time for another post about how important pgp is!! If you read this far...sorry I wrote this. I wanted to delete it ...but every time I went too...I read the OP and I could not help myself and I hit the post button.
