Defcon's "Full Disclosure"

I love it the contradictions between his sentiment in the first paragraph and his directive in the final one. “To the multitude of you who’ve lost faith in the Silk Road, I’m still glad I’ve heard your words”—now kindly shut the fuck up and take your negativity somewhere else (or you will be banned). I paraphrased that last bit, but damn he’s one smug son-of-a-bitch posting this shit.

Well, Defcon is certainly full of something.
Kind of disgusting how he's trying to present himself as a victim of those mean, horrible people who wanted deposits/withdrawls to function properly.

I think this answers point #6
http://www.reddit.com/r/SilkRoad/comments/1y07pv/heres_what_really_happened_from_sr_forums/cfga6v4
Also I think those dust transactions played a role ie: deposits like 0.0001 or similar.

“Hot storage”, “Cold storage” are misnomers. Bitcoins don’t exist, even in electronic form, or flow about through the internet like emails or IP packets. There is just a file called the blockchain. When one address increases, another one decreases by the same amount, simulating the “flow” of coins.
All of the bitcoin in silk road, after they’ve taken their 8% and moved it to this address
https://blockchain.info/address/1Facb8QnikfPUoo8WVFnyai3e1Hcov9y8T
belongs to vendors and users. They can “cold store” their 8% if they want to (cold storage is a bitcoin wallet on a computer which is disconnected or turned off, so it doesn’t interact with the address it controls on the blockchain). Don’t cold store ours, you scumbag,
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, stay positive for “the community”. OK Defcon. The “user” who stole it now has two thirds of our bitcoins in this account
https://blockchain.info/address/1GRFNTyLwoyQnk7S3MFFAz5qPkdWp7YSoY
and a third in this account
https://blockchain.info/address/12Z8FJx1P71AEjeajHpu36zoCeNnEtjDVq
But you already know that, don’t you?
Ooops. no its not. The 12Z account money is on the move again as I write this. I guess Dr Chu or whatever his name is has more time to make his bitcoin safe, because he's not wasting his time spewing self-justification on the forums.
If you weren't so scared of the FBI and actually dared to logon to the Silk Road servers to do some REAL admin, fix everything from the capcha to the negative balances through the escrow nobody is refereeing with the scammers that nobody is kicking off, instead of hanging around in the user forum, SR2 could have been a decent marketplace. You didn't really impress us by telling us your OPSEC takes hours before you dare to perform your weekly remote server reboot, the only thing that DPR2 showed you how to before he cracked up and ran off.
No, you aren't going to make us feel guilty for criticizing you, like we are undermining "the movement", you deserve everything you get from us and more.
You crass buffoon. I would hand you and all our bitcoin over to the FBI in exchange for Ross being released, if I could.
This is the best I can do.
Any other marketplace owner who is thinking of stealing everyone's bitcoin and is reading this, my advice to you is:- Don't shutdown before you've returned every penny to UK vendors, or your retirement will be on a tight budget, and fraught with worry.

Those "dust deposits" from addresses like this
https://blockchain.info/address/1Bhv6XjXBvraivcATHwwLMscZ5xJm9FsPn
the worst culprit, which has now removed its name, but a few days ago had a link to this site:-
and after exploiting transaction malleability, what it makes seems to end up here
https://blockchain.info/address/1A73ExsM2doRwTLp82rv5U36QHbBFmHD1X?offset=50&filter=0
but it has nothing to do with this silk Road 2 "hack", and defcon aught to know enough about bitcoin to know that.

I think one of the silkroad staff has been marking their own wallets, possibly as a record to find them later. using this wallet, and 777s
https://blockchain.info/address/12Nxd2X12WZeYSjUcbtm5NpS3d81Yh8sKh
They were all marked on 11 Feb (Defcon's announcement was on 13th), so we think it was just pre-planning for the theft, which appears to have started about 10 days before the announcement on "fat escrow Thursday".
There are about 120 wallets, marked with a 0.000777 BTC payment, some 3,000 BTC, some 10,000. and some 30,000BTC. Most of the wallets were filled up the last few days.
To us, that seems like far, far too much money. Nobody has added them up. More than a hundred cash piles between $1M and $10M! SURELY NOT? Could it be years of historical SR and SR2 earnings? Why lead us to them by stealing a couple of million this week? And why mark them all in the same way that SRR2 does, except with "777"?
Its not Sheeproadreloaded2, because its him who keeps finding them
Sheeproadreloaded, who is one of our member vendors (he grudgingly agreed to take one day off and do this for us) had a little head start. He already knew the main Silk Road wallet because he fell for Defcon's xmas sob story about being unable to find the escrow storage. It took about 10 minutes to find, nearly every SR2 wallet sends 8% to it.
He emailed Support to say he'd found every wallet, because he thought Defcon can't be that thick, he must be about to steal it. You can see that he "666"d the 1Facb8 wallet on xmas eve with his 1Ah wallet.
We were led to believe that there was $2.7M. We aren't drawing any conclusions about all these marked February cash piles, but SRreloaded found four or 5 of them, and kept noticing this 777 in them. At first, he thought another blockchain wiz had beaten him to it. But they were marked before or during the robbery, a few days before Defcon's bullshit announcement.
I like how he takes "full responsibility" and says its completely his fault while still putting the blame on others
