NEW YORK | Wed Oct 2, 2013 11:36am EDT

Oct 2 (Reuters) - U.S. law enforcement authorities raided an Internet site that served as a marketplace for illegal drugs, including heroin and cocaine, and arrested its owner, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Wednesday.

The FBI arrested Ross William Ulbricht, known as "Dread Pirate Roberts," in San Francisco on Tuesday, according to court filings. Federal prosecutors charged Ulbricht with one count each of narcotics trafficking conspiracy, computer hacking conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, according to a court filing.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Hope everyone was using pgp.
Vendors, goddamn, hope you had minimal in your accounts. Same for buyers.

Sorry, but when he gave the fucking Forbes interview I imagined this would be coming. Should have kept all this shit on the down low rather than publicly bragging about it.

So whats next step folks? What marketplacedo we move on to?

GOTMILK, how do you become a vendor on Sheep's Market? I don't see the option after I've created my account.

Or do I need BTC and I need to make it a vendor account from the start? Because I have no BTC right now if you could guess.


This sucks. Feel so bad for DPR.

I would assume lack of PGP use before anything else.

After that I'd assume he gave up his PGP key.

At this point, let's just assume every communication you've ever had on the site is out in the open, and if you weren't using PGP and you were moving volumes, you better clean out your fucking house, computer, car, and bank accounts ASAP.

And before anyone else panics, if you just ordered a gram here or there, I don't think you have a single worry in the world.

Unless that emergency coin disbursement option kicks in to refund everyone when another server comes online (IF ANOTHER SERVER EXISTS), a lot of people just lost a shitload of money.

And even if those coins come floating back to you, you better tumble that shit around. I'd assume that the DEA is going to do their best to confiscate every last coin they can though.

Stay safe everyone, it was a pleasure working with all of you, vendors and clients alike!

I have questions.  1.) Do we think that LE is going to be going through every order to find people to arrest, or is the info really deleted from the servers after it's executed?  2.) For the orders in progress, which haven't been finalized, that means we could receive our order but the vendor won't get his money?  3.) Will they even bother with just buyers who have kept it to a few orders for personal use, even though the mail thing is a federal crime?  I'd like to know more about exactly how the SR servers were programmed to operate, like what exactly happened to all of our info after an order has been finalized.

So, according to Ulbricht, he is not the original DPR, but according to the information that we have, they were watching Ulbricht since like 2011 right? Does this mean that he was in fact the "original" DPR?

It means he took over after it was created. He moved to Cali after his friend who does start-ups asked him to come, which correlates with his taking-over almost exactly. So I feel as if his friend is the original DPR

Even if they do, if you used PGP for your address you should be fine, it's damn hard to break. If you wern't using PGP you deserve what you get really, there was no excuse not to be.

I have used PGP, that is not my concern. I have heard that they have clear text versions of supposedly encrypted messages... Is this true, or is this something different from PGP?

I suppose a bad vendor might have decrypted copies of messages for some insane reason, but I can't think of any reason why SR would have cleartext copies of messages stored anywhere.

While I'm not doubting that this is true, there are a few things that seem odd to me.


1. It's odd that it specifically says "this HIDDEN site has been seized."
2. It's that this occurred during the partial government shutdown (I know the justice department is still running, but still as of right now, US federal courts are going to shut down by the 10th, so the timing is strange)
3. I can't believe SR servers were located in the US
4. How the hell did I miss this: http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/27/the-dea-seized-bitcoins-in-a-silk-road-drug-raid/

Again, I'm not doubting anything, but this is bizarre

Yea I thought it was a joke at first like many others but I'm afraid it is not as all the major news headlines are gawking about this. They did the same thing to libertyreserve.
There are copies of court documents already posted so it seems legit. If it is indeed a hoax then it will be a global scale and attract more negative attention, however it would actually be a wakeup call to all of us to increase security.

Apparently from what I've read DPR was busted by ordering several fake ID's to an address and had his picture on them. But who knows the truth anymore.

I have questions. 

1.) Do we think that LE is going to be going through every order to find people to arrest, or is the info really deleted from the servers after it's executed?

I doubt it very much. First, there are waaaay too many users for that. Second, they did NOT do that when they busted The Farmers Market. They only indicted the people at the top.

2.) For the orders in progress, which haven't been finalized, that means we could receive our order but the vendor won't get his money?
That's correct if they were already shipped. I've never ever stored money in my SR wallet, but I just happened to leave around $85 dollars in it because I was waiting for a vendor to come back from vacation. Anyone that had any coins on the site, whether vendors or buyers, is shit out of luck.

3.) Will they even bother with just buyers who have kept it to a few orders for personal use, even though the mail thing is a federal crime?  I'd like to know more about exactly how the SR servers were programmed to operate, like what exactly happened to all of our info after an order has been finalized.
Probably not; they're more interested in stopping the distribution then they are in going after small time, personal use buyers.

Info is supposed to be deleted after the vendor marks it as shipped, but I'm not sure how that works. Hopefully another vendor can explain that.

I dont know what to think honestly something in my head doesnt add up.

I feel like all this information about the raid, uncovering who this dpr was, then court documents being released all in  a matter of a  few hours seems to convient. If I was the FBI DEA etc etc, I would want to keep every piece of information under wraps for as long as I could not just allow all this information to get leaked out in less than 3 hours.

I'm not convinced it was a full seizure though all the signs clearly point to that but I'm on  a conspiracy theorist by nature.

I think it hasnt really sunk in and I wont really believe until at least 2 weeks has passed.


PS never try and hire a hitman...it just fucks your shit up.

Here's something that should surprise no one:

"FBI and other federal agents first tapped into the site in November 2011 and have made more than 100 undercover purchases of controlled substances, including ecstasy, cocaine, heroin and LSD, on the network. The drugs came from vendors located in the United States and at least 10 other countries, court papers say. Agents also purchased hacking services, including malicious software such as password stealing programs, the court papers say."
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/02/fbi-shuts-down-silk-road-website/2909023/

I knew that was happening; I never thought it started that early. The site was only a few months old then.

They had complete control of the overseas server, so I would assume they've been monitoring all kinds of shit for a very very long time.
