Silk Road forums

lots of valuable info won't get posted anymore. some users just can't be as active as others but provide very useful information.

Yet another quickfix. And wtf is up with the pictures? some sql newbie at work or is someone injecting for the fun of it.

 

At the risk of sticking my head above the parapet in this new sub forum I just wanted to give you a moderators perspective, I spend hours most evenings deleting scammer/spammer threads and posts in an endless battle to keep the forums free of crap so everyone can use the forums more safely and this new change will make that task infinitely less painful. It will also make all new accounts spend some time in the forums hopefully doing some research and reading before jumping in and creating new threads on topics that have already been discussed to death.

I know not all accounts with under 50 posts are technically 'new' to these forums and understandably some people will find this development frustrating but before you know it you will have hit 50 posts anyway and be left wondering what all the fuss was about.

Happy posting

Knowingly transacting in a drug deal is a criminal offence. If any vendor was to be taken down by this sort of technique then it would be most likely thrown out of court.

Are you serious? Kops do 'controlled buys' every fucking day. Also, Kops do not always operate within the law.

Just my own opinion, but I believe a shitload of LE from Australia have come onto the road over the last year posing as first time buyers, and simply not paying/causing grief.
It got so bad that many vendors simply refused to ship to Aus. Not only that, but other unscrupulous vendors caught onto this and started demanding FE and select scamming. Both vendors AND
customers got screwed. The shitstorm worked perfectly for those cunts, also because they gained an invaluable insight into shipping methods and developing counter-stealth, for lack of a better term.

This uncertainty, I believe, is their only current option. They cannot crack TOR, they cannot trace Bitcoins(if you're smart). They have no fucking clue WHO sent the seized package. Neither
does the innocent and clueless recipient who was never even in possession of it. They know this. Even if they seize a large amount and charge someone there's no-one further up the chain to take down.
They can never go after the 'big' cases like with 'street' cases. Half the reason the drug war is fought today is for big cases and big payoffs for local authorities who seize the wealth.
Stick to small amounts, nothing stupid. You will not go to jail.

PS for all you Aussies on here. Who remembers Ryan West from the 7:30 report? You know that dickhead that went on TV and broke the first rule of Silk Road? The one who 'wanted' to get caught? I know from people close
to me that he was not caught due to a seized package, he was caught because the neighbors got sick of people coming round to his parents house at all hours to buy drugs. They put him in it. He did have seized packages, but nothing happened or could happen until the Kops were called by his goddam neighbors. Furthermore that guy was selling shitloads of pills, you don't stay out of jail without singing like a bitch, if not your supplier, than your best customers. Kops have a quota after all...

Even though I agree with most of what is written in the post above there is something I should add, seized packages, even small ones can result in follow up by LE, I would strongly advise anyone reading this to not get complacent regarding their drop arrangements and make the mistake of just assuming nothing will happen because you haven't read about it on here. If you have the ability to sever all ties to your drop then do it! using your home or people you knows address for o/s orders is not advisable.

This debate will continue to get discussed for ever and a day and there must be one or two new threads created daily asking regarding address flagging.

In my country it would seem one or sometimes even two no shows to an address may not result in anything happening (flagging) and an o/s intercept may not affect you ordering domestically again either. But seriously, you claim to have had two large o/s orders with tracking clearly get intercepted and you are wondering if it is safe to continue to use that address? what does your gut tell you?

Truth is nobody really knows what capabilities customs have when it comes to monitoring addresses but it stands to reason if they intercept a large order or more than one then they will be logging that on a register somewhere and it is quite probable that they do have the capability to 'flag' that address to screen what else gets sent there.

One intercept should be all you need to consider that address dead, change up and move on and above all stay safe.

The answer to that question is no.

They've disabled deposits and withdrawals until they can fix the problem.

I had a problem like that! I know my local postman but this time someone knocked on the door with green shorts on and a Royal Mail bag and a t-shirt ( Strange cause all the postman's around my area wear the same cloths) So any way he asks me to Signed for the package. Don't know if you have seen a Royal Mail signed for sticker Orange (UK to UK) I know this cause i send parcels my self. But he asks me to Signed this white printed paper one on the parcel. Took one look at him and the package and knew it was the Police/Customs. I told he i had no idea what it was and told him i decline to Signed for it he was pissed off about this i knew as soon as i had that in my house they would come running threw that door! But i refused to Signed for it.... Then my mate who lives around the cornor ring's up what's going on down your street riot ran's down there (police). I'm really lucky!

This is the same as having a bar code sticker on the envelope how exactly?

Riot vans? really?

I'm just disappointed that need proof bruh didn't get an opportunity to do an expose on Twism.
