Maybe one of the stupidest post from someone that I actually liked in here. I understand when you lose money you get desperate to get it back. Or should I say to want it back. So factor in that you.... for sure lost money....then you.... with your drug of choice = this thread. The "raise fee" had very little impact on the buyer if any. It was not that high of fee at all actually. The "back up wallet" was a feature that "IF" DPR had to shut down Silk Road for some reason that he would then have an address for you to send whatever coins you had back to you in a wallet that was not on Silk Road. It was actually a very smart idea to out that in and it shows you from the start his intentions were good. It was not meant to work if he gets busted with his laptop open and the FBI behind him. I also believe there was a function at one point that if the site was not logged into my him for say 21 days...that it would shutdown and kick whatever funds you had to that address. This was said...who knows if it was true. So as you can see I have addressed your message line for line....and now I am on to my favorite line of yours...and maybe the stupidest thing you actually say. I am really hoping you were high when wrote this. So you say "if" the FBI took over...at this is a point...they for sure did. So if the FBI seizes something...that is an illegal operation....why would they ever let you go into your account and take out funds? ? The line baffles me so much that you actually with a straight face wrote this post...but really this sentence. SO you think that when LE bust an illegal operation, they should give the money back to the people that were involved in the operation? The sentence was so bad and so unreal, I can not go further on it. But I would like to comment about the people that are in these forums crying about losing funds. It is all on you! This is just a lesson learned. There is no way 99% of you should have had any funds on the site, and those that did, are/were fully aware that they could be gone at anytime. Now for the most part...the big boys are not crying or complaining. Of course they may be talking about it as it sucks...but there are others that are acting like they never knew this could happen and that believe that they are "owed" this money...LOL.. We all knew that this site had a lot of people that appeared smart and were just the stupidest sons of bitches on the planet. I would say as a whole...we as a group have the largest range of really smart people to total idiots. And I think the idiots actually believe they are smart! I like you tripmonkey...but I have to tell you the truth.
