Ross Ulbricht & Blake Benthall

https://twitter.com/Free_Ross/status/907019365547220992

Saw this Tweet on the Free Ross Twitter page and was wondering if anyone actually has any news on SR2 Blake Benthall? Is he really free while Ross Ulbricht got life since they pretty much committed the same crime? I doubt a plea deal would give you that much of a reward to get zero prison time.

Any other news on the previous SR1/2 admins/moderators?

I haven't been able to find any news on him since it came out that he had been released. So clearly he is working with the other side. I don't think its that far fetched to think that he was working with LE right from when he took over that role with SR2.

If I remember correctly the original DPR2 even said something along the lines of if I disappear the site is compromised. Then he went MIA and Defcon took over. Definitely believe LE was way deeper into SR2 then we are aware of.

That's because he fully cooperated with the government and snitched on literally everybody. Basically if you become the governments bitch you get a small slap on the wrist.

The American government loves snitches when they are doing the snitching for them and not on them. The US drug enforcement system is setup to encourage snitching. The funny thing is our government is balls deep in the drug trade and there's plenty of proof Iran/contra, and wait until it the Afghan opium CIA shit comes out like the contra scandal. I met more DEA and CIA when I was in Afghanistan than you could ever imagine. The CIA had their own little secret bases. The DEA was actually eradicating the drugs there but I know the CIA was doing the opposite. Just like the contra scandal. Proof is the heroin epidemic in the US right now and why we still haven't left that shithole yet.

Meanwhile, his ugly wifey is boning him in hopes of carrying his troll/ogre halfling spawn and raise said child in a proper evangelical sister-wives home type arrangement. This nigga fucked.

LOL

He snitched. He's in witness protection somewhere.

I think it's because he was an undercover. The site was a honey pot.
