Funnily enough, I watched the Breaking Bad series finale with him at his house. I also confronted him about his spending 9 months before he was arrested, but he lied to me and I bought it because his story made more sense than "my friend is running the Silk Road".
In the time since he was arrested, I've moved from coding to fraud investigations, and my time with him is a constant reminder to trust my observations over anything I am told.
I disagree that he was more hateable than Ulbricht. He never tried to have people tortured/murdered.
- dmix 10y ago> He never tried to have people tortured/murdered. Good point. He really screwed himself with that stuff anonymous hitman stuff.
- meowface 10y agoYeah, he had the potential for a lot of public support but squandered it when evidence of the hits came out. (And the evidence looks very convincing to me.) An argument can be made for SR's value to humanity. But he was a megalomaniacal asshole with shitty opsec, and he got what he deserved. Running a large "enterprise" doesn't give you the right to play dice with people's lives.
