Had to get my soul out tha' way yo...
Let's just say what everyone is thinking before getting down to the nitty gritty.
Law enforcement agents that investigate LSD and MDMA can go fuck themselves. We know most of them are bitter that they were never part of the "in" crowd. They hate seeing average looking blokes with nice looking companions that are with them because they get treated right. They are even more bitter that their significant others never have sex with them unless they are incapacitated by virtue of prescription medications and/or alcohol. Domestic violence is much more prevalent in law enforcement than the general population. The same goes for alcoholism. The suicide rate in the LE profession is high. It could be much higher and nobody other than their mum would lose any sleep.
Still, we must embrace our law enforcement brothers. Most of them believe they exist to serve and protect. Let us hope they honor that commitment with their individual actions. Ultimately we call upon the individual to act in accordance with what is good for the greater humanity. Fuck that promotion yo.
We all know that the above is an example of a terrible attitude that could lead to poisoning one's entire psyche. We should embrace law enforcement with an attitude of love. We should be grateful that, for the most part, they exist to protect us from harm. We should tell them thank you for all that they do. Purpose to build a personal relationship with a LE today. It may just save your ass. Do not hesitate to punk those motherfuckers if they fail to show you respect.
We must protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our freedoms from any threats that law enforcement may present. We should never assist them in any investegation against our Family. This begins with protecting ourselves.
A drop is the place where you have your goodies sent. Drops should only be used for 3 months maximum. Consider the drop and any connection to the drop to be a contagious cancer that begins to develop after the first exposure to any goodies. Make your shipments count.
Do your best to never connect your real identity to any drop you use. Always assume that any vendor you use is law enforcement. Assume every customer is law enforcement and behave accordingly. Imagine that every buyer or vendor will be busted at some point, and you could get caught up in the windfall. Law enforcement has been known to take control of vendors' accounts, and even send out legitimate product, for some time before acting on the vast amount of intel gathered as a result.
Cashing out bitcoin is very difficult to do without tying your identity to the transactions. Even if you don't use your identity, you will either need access to a bank account or physical cash. Both can lead directly to you in most cases. Be creative. Harm no one in the process unless it is a bank or a uniformed officer of imaginary law. Fuck both those fools.
Many vendors will do the ill advised thing and purchase wares to distribute locally as a cashout method. While this is not likely to provide a money trail, it can lead the authorities to you if one of your local customers finds themselves in a pinch. This can get very troublesome if you use a local drop that was the victim of a controlled delivery or got in some kind of trouble with local law enforcement. You could discover that your freedom is being used by others as a bargaining chip. This goes both ways. If your online vendor is working in their own locale, they may be profiled and this could lead directly to you.
Repeat after me...
If you vend online, you should not vend locally. If you vend online, you should not vend locally. If you vend online, you should not vend locally. If you vend online, you should not vend locally.
Tell NO ONE of your involvement in any illegal activities. Each person you tell exponentially increases your chances of being caught. If you tell three or more people, assume at least one of them will tell the same number of people. So on and so forth. Once you tell the first person, you probably have six months or less before your name comes up in an investigative interview. People are stupid whether you are or not. You were stupid for telling anyone. That means anyone. If you have a significant other, the only way to protect them is to tell them nothing. See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil. Do no evil.
Repeat after me...
Tell NO ONE of your involvement in any illegal activities. Tell NO ONE of your involvement in any illegal activities. Tell NO ONE of your involvement in any illegal activities. Tell NO ONE of your involvement in any illegal activities.
It is very likely that powerful adversaries are using your internet activity to correllate real life activity into what is known as parallel construction. They use less intrusive methods to gather intel that gives them clues to what real life activities you might be doing. They may use this information to get a warrant for something more specific.
That phone you love so much and use to document every mundane activity you enjoy is the devil when it comes to OPSEC. It is tracking you and your interests whether you are under investigation or not. It forgets nothing. Leave it behind when you go places. Treat it like a home phone or home computer. It can be used to easily listen in and watch private conversations and activities. Use it to talk to your mum and your significant other and that's it. Your darker contacts can send a smoke signal or you can find one another where you find yourself. The grape vine is a beautiful place where mature fruits come to blossum. Do not associate with strange grapes.
They won't likely have open search warrants for your home or vehicle. It is much easier to watch your home or vehicle and wait for you to slip up. If they had a warrant, you would already have been introduced to them. You will be under investigation for quite some time before a warrant is served. Once the warrant is served, the gig is up unless you keep clean at all times.
They will monitor your internet traffic and mobile devices to have some idea of what your key online identities are based on contact they have with you online. If you use a VPN or Tor you are a person of interest no matter who you are. This much has been made clear. They will use this information to know when and possibly where you may have some real life actions that can be tied to your online persona. Another trick they use is to make small purchases and initiate communication that will give them clues about your plans. For instance, this allows them to estimate when and where you might be dropping packages for shipment.
Everytime you send a tracked package this information is permanently recorded. The same is true for each tracked package you receive. These records are retrievable by the authorities for a period of time that you should consider to be forever. Imagine your vendor gets busted with your tracking number or address. Imagine if one of your customers is law enforcement or gets busted, and for some reason you saved the tracking information or have a copy of the receipt or their address. Both things reveal very specific information about your habits and activities. Consider avoiding using tracking altogether if this is an option.
You can do several things to combat your adversaries.
The first is to eliminate your ego from the equation. You are not perfect. You have made and will continue to make mistakes that could lead to your downfall. Often, sacrafices will be made to accommodate any financial risk. Sometimes you just have to trust the counterparty or risk no more than you can afford lose. This should be a golden thumb of rule.
The adversary can make several mistakes without consequence. You only need to make ONE that they capitalize on, and you are done. Most of us make several mistakes. The enemy is gathering vast amounts of information all over the world. Some of that information might just have your name and address on it. The song of a single bird can reveal the location of the entire flock.
Have a process you use that is designed to protect you in the event of the worst possible scenario. Your process should include some degree of randomness. Only deviate from this process if you recognize something that could be improved. Incorporate the improvement into your process. Repeat as needed with randomness. Dice and a deck of cards are your friend because you sir are not random. You are a creature of habit. Habits were made to be broken much like the rules.
Part of your process will undoubtably include online activities. It is important to always use tor when browsing anything related to the darknet. NEVER check tracking unless you know you can do it without revealing your identity. Better yet, don't use tracking and request that your vendor does the same.
Disable javascript and all scripts. Never tie your online identities together. Have a policy of always encrypting everything. Insist that those you communicate with do the same. Read and understand what you can about staying safe online. Implement what you can. Purpose to implement anything worthwhile that you don't understand. If something you consider crucial can't be implemented, don't participate. If you don't understand it, don't participate.
Never check tracking numbers even in the event of character assassination or dispute. Never send a tracking number unencrypted. If a buyer checks a tracking number, it should be long after it was sent. Never let anyone know exactly when you are shipping or will be shipping. There are places to check tracking from tor. Find one or two and use them if this feature is needed.
You aren't a piece of shit and either will ship it or already have shipped it. If you are expecting something and it's late, it will either get there or it won't. If you are a piece of shit, either change or kill yourself.
You didn't spend money you couldn't afford to lose did you? You may want to contact your vendor and let them know you haven't received anything. Be polite and follow the vendor's policy regarding situations like this. Legit vendors will work with legit buyers. Legit vendors know the difference. Buyers will tend to learn as they go. If you find yourself on th wrong end of the stick then maybe you shouldn't have grabbed the stick.
The next thing you will do is lie, lie, lie. You will lie about when you are going to ship. You will lie about stealth. You will lie about small details that could lead an adversary down the wrong path. You will make an announcement that will cause investigators to think you are about to make a mistake. You will never tell anyone that you are expecting a shipment...unless you aren't ;) Do not correllate vacations and breaks with restocks. If you think you are being investigated, you will tell a lie that will force investigators to show their hand. You will be completely clean when the cards are on the table. Getsummofuka.
It's up to you to spot the signs of an investigation. This will include buyers asking you to do something you don't normally do. You should know every vehicle in your neighborhood. You should know every dog and every person that walks dogs in your neighborhood. You should know every mailman and every shipping clerk in every place you use to do such things. You will know every wifi and bluetooth device within range of where you connect to the internet. You will know when something isn't right. You will have a plan of action for when things aren't.
Always have a plan in the event the worst of all possibilities happens. This includes having a vendor you purchased from that gets arrested. This also includes having packages not arrive if you are the vendor that sent them. You know you sent. If it didn't get there, something is probably up.
If anyone you know gets arrested for doing something similar to what you do, consider yourself next. No one is going to jail for you, and most will use you to bargain for leniency. Don't be a punk unless you want to get treated like one.
Any plan you have should include eliminating any digital or physical evidence that could connect you to illegal activities. Burn it. Flush it. You are done. You must avoid talking to anyone about anything that could be incriminating. Be wary of any old contacts that sprout up when the shit hits the fan. These guys have been out of the game. What brings them back now? You must disavow all knowledge and all devices that hold information relating to this knowledge. It was good while it lasting, eh?
This is by no means a comprehensive representation of OPSEC. I'm not sure anyone could or would provide such a thing. You must decide what measures are appropriate for you. Whatever you decide, put it into action without deviation except in the case of an upgrade.
Peace Love Unity Revolution - probably not what plur stands for, but maybe it should
ps Money comes and money goes. Dignity, once lost, is gone forever.
pps If you snitch you will be branded as such. You will be treated as such during your time with us. Any attempt to work with your overlords will be dealt with accordingly.
ppps You knew the stakes before you entered the game. Do not play unless you are willing to see it through.
At least it wasn't a full wall of text.. but I really would like a TL;DR, if someone could be so kind.
I mean, he's got ppps' and everything so I know it's going to be a really long story with an easy summary... ~EDIT .... TL;DR GOOD OPSEC
