Crazy. I read an article in Time magazine the other day that said it would be back Nov. 6th.

 

[Matty]

Wow. #turbobrassballs

 

[roguejuror]

One of the old mods is apparently behind the new one.

 

[xpansive]

This is the new people power...

Financial files stored on Ulbrichts computer likewise confirm his continuous control of Silk Road from beginning to end. For example, one spreadsheet, titled sr_accounting, lists hundreds of expenditures relating to Silk Road, from server rent to pay off hacker, spread throughout 2010 to 2013. In another spreadsheet, titled NetWorthCalculator, Ulbricht listed all of his assets and liabilities, the most notable of which was an entry for sr inc, listed as an asset worth $104 million. Moreover, actual proceeds derived from Silk Road were found on the computer, in the form of a Bitcoin wallet containing approximately 144,000 Bitcoins, equivalent to over $20 million based on prevailing exchange rates at the time of Ulbrichts arrest.

Before take down, he was logged in to the backend.

 

[Matty]

Woah.

 

[roguejuror]

When would you have exited Matty? Could have disappear over night. At the rate coins are going could have easily let them grow. If he would have chosen to exit and stiff he could have become probably the most vested man in bitcoins. Probably one of the biggest heist in history too.

Should have stayed in SE Asia.

Googled him last night, the article was a good read, crazy stuff

 

[Matty]

lol @ his file naming

sr_accounting
networthcalculator

That's not exactly Master of Disguise stuff.

It's fascinating cause in the end, it's just some average geek with zero street smarts that managed to turn into a foolish e-Walter-White.

I bet he's got some great stories at lunch time.

When would you have exited Matty?

Very early on, when it was obvious that I was never going to be able to spend the bulk of that money.

Guy was keeping track of his immaterial net worth, still living in a shitty apartment (with fucking roommates!)

He might as well been playing The Sims on his computer all this time.

Weird dude.

 

[Blitty]

Same as Walter White. He was also greedy and never really got the chance to spend his money.

 

[Matty]

True, true.

WW at least got out of his house.

SR is an Internet Generation crime. Seems quite a bit more pathetic.
