All the Mods and staff now will not rust anyone, including each other. LE leaked that they had an inside man from the beginning. Blake seems like just about the worst person who wasn't LE to choose for the job of DPR. Word on the street is he already flipped. Forums were on same servers?! Are you kidding me Blake? There is no backup plan and no word from anyone with power or sway to revive the movement.
There will never be an SR 3.0
I sincerely fucking hope that after such a shitshow, the Silkroad brand is permanently retired. Stupid mistakes were made by every staff member since day one. Lets take a look back at the history of Silk Road now that its all finally over.
Ross Ulbricht, the genius DPR, fighter of injustice and protector of freedom, is tracked because he used his personal fucking email with his real name. But don't worry, DPR's trusted staff (one of which is a UC) will learn from Ross's mistakes. So the community is reborn with SR2. Great fucking idea. That is until Libertas and the rest of them are arrested. Surely they were smarter than Ross right? No, they willingly gave Ross their doxx which the feds grabbed from his computer. DPR2 ironically makes a smart decision here (considering how much of a buffoon he was before) and jumps ship. But not before almost locking everybody out of their coins stored in the cold wallet.
So that all gets sorted by our new trusted(?) leader DEFCON. Ok, business back to usual. Because surely, after everything that has happened, we all might as well keep using the same site right? Wrong, because as soon as everything is going good again, SR2 is "hacked" and everybody's coins are stolen. But DEFCON has our back! He comes up with the brilliant plan to pay everybody back using their own money. And all you have to do is keep using the site. Sure their might be better markets out there with admins that at least seem half way competent.
But lets keep using SR2, a now strictly FE marketplace, defeating the entire purpose DNM's serve. Why? Because SR is the name you can trust! Silkroad has risen again and again! Silkroad 2 has learned from the mistakes of its predecessor. SR2 is smarter and better, and won't be taken down until tor is broken! Wait whats that? They just caught DEFCON? How can this be?!?! NSA? No, he used his PERSONAL FUCKING EMAIL. WITH HIS REAL NAME. THE SAME WAY ROSS WAS CAUGHT. Goddamit it honestly pisses me off how stupid he was. Like are you fucking kidding me?
