Yet Clark made headlines in September when he announced on a marijuana themed message board that he was “turning himself in” because, he alleged, a corrupt FBI agent Clark called “Diamond” was hunting him and trying to extort bitcoins the agent believed were controlled by Ulbricht and possibly Clark.
Warrant had already been issued well before he made his statements about turning himself in. It was just grandiose grand-standing by him at that point because he obviously knew that he was going to jail for giving DPR his real identity.

If anyone has been watching all this unfold there's a chance that Atlantis,Evo, and other markets were coerced into closing by the same rouge "FBI" agent that was targeting variety jones. Supposedly, according to jones, the agent hacked those market admins and extorted bitcoins from them. The only way they could pay was to exit scam. I'm not giving cred to evo given they are carders but still it's all very interesting. Jones posted all this on my planet ganja forums and because this agent was closing in on him he turned himself in. Maybe all this will help Ross with his appeal considering the other corrupt agents only got 6 years.

I don't get why he's fighting extradition. Does he like thai jails?

to make people think there is no hiding place if you fuck with the wrong people. All bravado
So they can feel like they accomplished something.
