Off topic / Re: DEA monitoring the forum?
« on: July 25, 2011, 02:32 am »Imagine someone offered you a job buying drugs on SR and posting to the forum 8 hours a day working with their money. (and getting paid for it) This undercover agent would be highly knowledgable about routes of administration, local trends, prices etc. They would discuss their many purchases, and give the impression they were a big fish with plenty of disposable income who wasn't too worried about losing a dollar here or there. Slowly but surely they would gain the trust of forum members through their consistent and voluminous postings. They would be confidant, sociable and act like a leading authority on drugs and their use. They would eventually gain the trust of the community, and have a rock solid reputation. Once reputation was established they would elicit certain behaviors through PM, in an effort to gain privileged information. Then a sting would go down, probably on multiple sellers simultaneously. They'd probably want to establish criminal conspiracy as well as trafficking. It's social engineering, and spys have been using it since the beginning of time.
If this is done correctly, people will say "I never would have suspected it was him"
Trust no one.
