Title: Issue? Coaching / laundering advice on SR
Post by: b999 on February 19, 2013, 11:19 am
I'm a little concerned.  I see services for sale on SR offering to coach vendors in vending and laundering.  What would stop someone from the authorities signing up for this, and learning all the secrets and endangering us all?  Shouldn't SR remove these offers?

I'm just a little concerned that some are drunk on success and will trip up, potentially taking the whole thing down with them.

A little?  ya think?

relax a bit, mate.  The secrets aren't really that secret, for one.  And, for another, LE isn't a threat to "us all."  Actually, they're not a threat to any of us, at the moment, particularly the ones in America, but the ones they *want* to threaten, anyway, are the ones selling the drugs.  And, the one (or ones, whoever the fuck) running the site.  So, might LE plant someone to pose as a seller to try to get close to other sellers or vendors?  Sure.  But, b999 isn't in the crosshairs. 

The thing about great things is they never last.  All good things, and so forth.  So, smoke 'em while you got 'em.

yeah I suppose, but still it's a worry... some narc will just sign up the 'coaching' and learn everything.  Does seem kind of self defeating.

I had some specialized training a few years ago for the military in Kuwait.  The class ran for a few weeks, and the instructor really knew his shit.  I got to know him a little in between sessions, and it turns out he was one of the top guys in his field - but everything he did was illicit.  He was making crazy amounts of money illegally doing what he did.  Then, 9/11 hit, and he decided to use his skill set for the US.  (That's a true story, but some details have been altered to protect me)

So, there's those guys, and there's the guys that got arrested and have been turned into consultants in exchange for no prison time.  The feds don't need anyone to coach them or teach them how to launder money, even if it's BTC or precious metals, or any other form of currency.

Klonopin, actually, but I see how you might think weed.  I didn't mean that cops weren't a threat to people like us, doing illegal shit.  I meant that federal drug enforcement doesn't give a fuck about who sleepyeyes2k2 is, and how they're going to shut him down.  That's all.
