Strawman arguments are weird. Especially owning the corner store piece.
Nevermind the fact that you're at trial where a judge and jury is looking at this. Nevermind that the point the GP made was that if you have someone knocking on your door motivated to find something they will find something.
I am assuming if you are a nefarious actor, the goal is to not have this kind of attention, ever. You do this in all of the traditional ways - insulate and delegate.
- hnarn 4y agoHow is it in any way a straw man argument? I was giving an example of exactly what the comment said was “not a thing”: plausible deniability when buying the cards. If you buy these cards and re-sell them, you have plausible deniability. If you buy them from a re-seller you have increased anonymity. Obviously the goal for a nefarious actor (or anyone, probably) is to not end up in court. But it’s objectively true that the idea of Amazon gift cards does in some scenarios actually give you increased anonymity compared to other payment options, if nothing else because of the timing offset if you want to disregard re-sellers.

- nickstinemates 4y agoSo you think that prosecution is going to go to court with just 1 piece of evidence and the entire case is going to hinge on the provenance of a Mullvad account? Sounds extremely unlikely.
- hnarn 4y agoWe’re talking about hypotheticals. If you want to make up a new hypothetical where tying the suspect to the VPN account is irrelevant, what is even your point?
