The federal agents that were supposed to catch us the "criminals" are criminals themselves. Do you love the irony?

I'm talking about the undercover agents involved in SR that got caught with some free bitcoins. Most people there were doing victimless crimes, exercising their free choice and were robbed by the ones that were supposed to bring them to justice. Am I high or is that just super funny?

Everyone is in it for themselves. These people aren't crusaders of justice, they just doing their job and trying to further their career. Don't trust LE, don't trust the Government, don't trust your vendor, don't trust Admins until they've proven trustworthy. And most will never prove trustworthy.

Quite a lot of new information in this what I am reading now.

-They had control of CG "Flush" vendor account after they nabbed him for the 1KG failed cocaine deal.

-They had control of the "nob" account

-They access the Flush account, and steal lots of money from vendors. (20,000 bitcoin)

-DPR asks Nob to kill Flush after the theft, and the DEA agents take the Hit money for themselves.

It was these 2 rogue agents all along!

They became heavily involved in their own BTC exchange and illegally stealing bitcoin from any suspicious accounts, there is no line between the criminals here really is there?

All drug laws are bullshit. We dont need feds and cops telling us what WE put in OUR bodies, now im not for "LETS LEGALIZE COCAINE, CRACK, HEROINE AND METH!" but something needs to change. Instead of locking those up, why not educate?

You know what separates us from 1000 years ago and today? Education. You could argue technology.. But where did that come from? Education. The atomic bomb? Education leading to discoveries. You get the idea.

How about instead of locking them up, mandatory rehab? Since when does making drugs highly illegal (anything more and you give the death penalty.. Oh wait, a record for drugs is basically a death penalty in getting a career) stop anybody?

Fuck this stupid system.

I'm frankly amazed that the main 144,000 BTC stash wasn't "exfiltrated" by some rogue agent. Seriously, it was worth nine figures back then. Just move it to a random wallet and let it sit there for years while you continue to do your regular job as if nothing happened.

Let the statute of limitations on theft/wire fraud/etc run out (at least 10+ years to be safe), then gradually siphon it off to various smaller wallets, do some inventive tumbling, and cash out.

OK, probably not that easy without becoming a major suspect, just rambling... heh.
