For those who are interested in the details of the case and would like to see a take different from the typical "Free Ross" one, I recommend checking out American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road.
If you liked Hunting Warhead, you should check out American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road. The audiobook will keep you hooked until the end!
My favorite drink is whatever alcoholic beverage I can get my hands around on a big ass cruise ship.
American Kingpin, the story of Ross Ulbricht (better known as Dread Pirate Roberts) and how he built and crashed the online drug market known as The Silk Road, is out and on my amazon wishlist. Hint hint. Just kidding, I'll probably buy it myself for lounge-reading on the boat.
I think I'm starting to get sick - sore throat, congested head, stuffed up nose - and I'm freaking out because I don't want to be sick on vacation.
I ordered American Kingpin on Amazon for some cruise/beach reading - did any of you follow the story of Ross Ulbricht/"Dread Pirate Roberts" and The Silk Road drug marketplace? I ordered a few times from there years ago when it was still operational. I find it fascinating. Can't wait to read it.
So it's officially been two months since I've tapered, and two months since I had my period. You would think that I would be stable on my sub dose by now, but I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms at night again. I posted on a suboxone taper facebook group asking if anyone had ever done a medically-assisted rapid detox and linked to the website online. I swear, people on facebook are so dumb. They assumed I meant the Waismann Method, or that I was talking about a rapid taper. One person told me to take the money and go on vacation, because tapering "isn't so hard" - if I could punch someone, I would. I feel like I'm being belittled and it's really frustrating.
I just finished American Kingpin - highly recommend it, if you haven't read it: link
I had seen Deep Web (another great resource), but the book made me dig into all the government's exhibits, and it's totally f-ing crazy. It would literally be rejected by a movie studio, if someone turned in a script with all these insane twists and turns.
Slight sidenote, but I highly recommend the book American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road.
It's slightly fictional (it's written as a novel in a really interesting way, not as a dry factual book), but it's well sourced and fair IMO.

I have a pretty big list of good books I've read recently, a few of them are on cybercrime and the Italian mafia. But most of them have nothing to do with crime. Just finished Death Throes Of The Republic, part of the Hardcore History series by Dan Carlin, that was great!
Good day chicks and dudes. I'm back at the work grind, and damn I didn't miss it at all. Good thing is that fiance, kiddo, and myself are headed up to Pittsburgh this weekend for fiance's childhood bff's wedding. That should be a good time.
I finished American Kingpin last night - it's a great detailed account of Ross Ulbricht who started the Silk Road and how it all came crashing down. I feel so bad that he's serving two life sentences. Yes, he did some bad things. But at the same time he was just a kid who wanted to decriminalize drugs. It worked in Portugal. Why couldn't it work here? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. Not really looking to get into a political debate today, ha.
A friend of mine that I met in rehab many years ago is back in the hospital for the umpteenth time. He just can't stop drinking. He's got this terrible outlook on life right now too. He got kicked out of IOP for relapsing too many times. He tells me that none of the doctors or rehabs he contacts want to help him because he seems like such a hopeless case. I kind of believe him. He's been doing this for at least a decade, trying to get better and continuously relapsing. It's at the point where every suggestion I make to him, he has a negative rebuttal against it. It's frustrating. He asked me to go visit him at the hospital tonight. I don't have any other plans, so I figured I'd make a short visit. But it's so depressing. He's going to die soon, I can feel it, and it makes me so incredibly sad.
there is a pretty good book about it: https://www.amazon.com/American-Kingpin-Criminal-Mastermind-Behind/dp/1591848148
Oh if I was to recommend a book I’d have to recommend another one! It’s a about the person who set up the Silk Road! Fascinating read!

OP you should read this book.

Ross was not a good guy, and yes he hired a hitman to kill people and pointing out that one of the agents investigating him was corrupt does not prove that those allegations are false. Thats a red herring. The bar for actually being charged and convicted of a crime is way higher than it simply being very likely that person committed the crime. So yeah, Ross hired a hitman to kill people. Read the book.
A friend of mine wrote a fantastic book about Ross, if you want to do a deep dive

I need to say upfront that I have not read this yet, but it is on my shortlist to read soon - Reamde by Neal Stephenson.
​
And if you're happy to consider non-fiction, I have read and can recommend https://www.amazon.com/American-Kingpin-Criminal-Mastermind-Behind/dp/1591848148
> I believe the IRS agent who discovered Ross had to use his LE credentials to get archived data.
There's literally a book about how Ross got caught. https://www.amazon.com/American-Kingpin-Criminal-Mastermind-Behind/dp/1591848148
> > Alpha maybe a different story. The email header is probably fake news,
I have it on good authority that it was not fake news.
> but Cases was a nerd and posted tons of shit online. He probably slipped up somewhere else.
The documents I read said they also identified him by tracing his bitcoin withdrawls through a mixer. As they did with HumboldtFarms (among other ways). Same type of thing happened here: /r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/72ws9e/legal_papers_exposing_how_one_moderator_of_some/
Mä luulin että kapu on pidätetty aikoja sitten jo, ainakin alkuperäinen. Juuri luin Tälläisen kirjan silkkitien perustajasta, tykkäsin.
WARNING, HARD READING BELOW, MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A NAP BEFORE ATTEMPTING.
