If they're bothering to go through the trouble of questioning you, chances are they don't have the information needed to make a case agsinsr you in court, let alone charge you. If they really had a slam dunk case on you, they'd have it with them. Hell, they don't NEED to question you at all if that's case. They could just go, "You're under arrest and charged for so-and-so. Arraignment's tomorrow at x time." At which point you'll be forced to meet with an ADA who will then flex on you, with all evidence in-hand.
      The police, in most cases, are RELYING on you digging your own grave. They're trained to eek out the smallest of details from you. Hence, it's always the best case to just shut up, let your lawyer talk, and, if you must talk, only say "No", "No", and "No."

    so in short:
    1) don't admit anything from tor activities (especially when in illegal activities & when talking to police)
    2) use bridges when using tor (to hide tor traffic)
    3) don't get cocky & show yourself for reasons of fame or fortune
    4) & NEVER mix clear or deep or dark -net activities with each other
    5) use a password manager for tor activities & then another for clear-net activities
    6) create a kill-switch Encryption device that works wirelessly (to defeat a Ross Ulbrich scenario)
    7) drop accounts that are linked & after email-bombing them delete them to obfuscate your traffic.
    & that's how you are at least somewhat safe on tor (plus using a physically different device for tor network activities will probably be your best bet)
    Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

      That's true. But IF you are going to do that, then you should absolutely shut the fuck up about it.
      Assuming you've been a good boy and haven't dropped a thousand clues on your devices that you did it, then all the Feds got is that "it MIGHT have been you" or "they THINK it was you." But a jury isn't going to convict, or the DA may not even pursue charges, if they only have that you went onto TOR at some point. They're not dragging your ass into questioning just to flex on you - they NEED you to say stupid shit and essentially confess. If you lawyer up and keep your dumb mouth shut, then you're as good as free.

    As far as the Ross Ulbricht library situation, it wasn't that he was "trying to be a hero and walk over to someone". Here's what actually happened: two officers created a fight. When Ross was sitting in the library with his laptop, the agents knew they could not just rush him, cause he most likely would have just hit the kill switch. So what happened was that the 2 agents started a fake fight and when at one point when of them raised their voice, Ross turned around to look. Unfortunately, that split second of our natural reaction was all it took for a third one to grab the computer, while the others grabbed Ross himself.

      @@TIOLIOfficial I understand how IP addresses work, bud. Most people do their illegal activity on Torr on public WiFi to avoid their Internet service provider from linking their Internet subscription to their IP address. If he did his dark web activities on his home Internet service, Spectrum, AT&T, or whoever provides it could look at the list of routers they gave to their subscribers and have the Tor users' activity.
      Using a public library makes perfect sense for a small-time criminal. However, the man ran a multi-million dollar Operation. He never thought of a way to switch up the libraries he visited at random intervals, or used a wifi-hotspot from a burner phone, or pay his employees to look into Internet sources other than mainline ISPs?

    You got the details of Ross' arrest wrong; the FBI did indeed have to agents pretend to have a domestic fight, which caught Ross attention. When he was distracted, an agent ran up and swiped his unlocked computer and he was apprehended directly after that. I haven't heard any version retelling his arrest where he actively intervened in the staged altercation. There were plenty of "normal" people in the internet café as well, many who objected to Ross' arrest despite having no idea what he was being arrested for.

      As for "Ross did nothing wrong"; let's ignore the illegal substance angle and focus on the fact that Ross tried to have multiple people killed and that only his incompetence and naivety that ensured that no one died. He should be in prison for this if not for anything else. Maybe the punishment is a bit hard, but conspiracy to commit murder should have serious consequences.

    Even if you're arrested for something, that doesn't mean you're going to prison. You should always exercise your 5th amendment rights in the US, and speak with a lawyer, even if you've done no wrong doing they will still use anything you do say to the police against you in court if they can. Lack of compliance is not an admission of guilt.

      To be fair, in every country they can hold you for a very long time, and there is absolutely no restrictions on how many hours per day they might spend pressuring you. There is a channel, forgot its name, there are a lot of interrogation videos. Some of them are 8 hours straight, several shifts of detectives working with you two or three days in a row. It's fucking hard to withstand that. And there is a whole collection of tricks to prevent you from having a lawyer present (not to mention that not everybody can afford one and state appointed ones often play along with police, like, cmon, man, this is a good deal, show them that small part and they will drop everything else, otherwise we will never beat this one in court, etc.). And sometimes it's just a matter of how good you are at taking a beating. Nah, not talking to police is a good advice but it's not that simple to implement.

    A few thoughts about sites like Silk Road:
    -buy something that requires physical delivery to you, the seller knows who you are near enough. Depending on shipping method, they may be identifiable if the cops seize the package.
    - Pay with crypto and the seller takes your coin and runs, no obvious recourse. Yes they risk burning the alias used and any reputation developed, but still a tempting scam.
    - The same anonymity that protects uses on such a system can also make under cover narcs hard to spot. And some transactions necessarily identify the buyer.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ross Ulbricht try to order a hit on someone who he thought had scammed him? Obviously lots of people are in prison for nonviolent drug offenses, but Ulbricht is not one of them.

    • @user-pm8je4fo7e

      He did it at least twice. He ordered one hit of his moderator to a undercover fed in posession of said employe (under arrest), and another one - of some shop owner at SR, who kinda scammed him. The thing is, he most likely made this second order to the same actual person, who scammed him (scammer catfished him with series of accounts). "Killer" even sent him staged photo of himself being "done" and required digits on a piece of paper as a proof. And this story checks out as far as court is concerned. Such a drug lord.

      There's no evidence that he hired hitmen, that was am allegation made by the agents handling his case and the judge ruled it inadmissible at the time. The agents were them arrested for stealing from Ulbricht and the two of them are in prison to this day.
      Maybe he really did hire hitmen, but we certainly can't rely on the evidence of two corrupt liars convicted of robbing the same man they're accusing either way.

      The Silk Road was just a marketplace though. Ulbritch (idk if that’s spelled correctly) himself wasn’t peddling and pushing the drugs. Just facilitating it for other people. The feds make cyber crimes appear to be the worst thing ever to uneducated judges and juries. He got two life sentences for basically running a shop, because the FBI scared people into thinking he was a horrific person. They did the same thing with Kevin Mitnick, the judge who sentenced him basically believed he could start WW3 by whistling into a phone, because the FBI said so.

Not that the extremely rich and powerful corperations dont do the same thing but they have the political power to bribe govt agencies. So no, the guy isnt as innocent as the bakery shopkeep down the road but i agree two life scentences is a tad extreme.

      If you're meaning 'OS' as 'Operating System,' then this makes no sense, because you can't change your OS. You can't turn a Mac into a Windows, or a Samsung into a Sony. It doesn't work that way.

  • @UWasAtTheClub20
    @UWasAtTheClub20 Год назад +1

    The dual-booted operating system used in the first bomb threat case was likely utilized as a means of obscuring the illicit acts from someone less technologically literate potentially snooping through the main OS - though all you need for that is a pattern, password or PIN. Though, it may have been a failsafe against the chance that someone could crack a pattern, PIN # or a pass.
    However, these efforts were clearly in vein if he compromised his security regardless by being braggadocios, you would think it'd be common sense not to brag about acts that catch the ire of feds.. Some people might have the intelligence to commit a crime but lack the skill necessary to get away + even with it you still get caught regardless if you become too comfy or sloppy.
