I'd wager Ross only kept enough coins accessible from the machine hosting SL for day-to-day operations, and sent the extra proceeds to an account the production machines didn't have access to, one with the private key either on his personal laptop or in a safety deposit box.

- jlgreco 13y agoSo what we are saying here is that there might be actual modern burried pirate treasure somewhere. Awesome.
- Aqueous 13y agoWhat's unfortunate for DPR is that, even if there is a pirate's booty out there, the whole murder for hire thing and being an accessory, if not a patricipant, in a massive amount of drug trafficking makes it very likely that he will spend a large chunk, if not the rest of his life, in prison, making the 80 mil all but unusable to him.
- mkmkmmmmm 13y agohe can buy a lot of cigarettes
- olefoo 13y agoI would think he could get some very high quality legal representation w/ $80 million lurking out there. Although it might be complicated by the fact that he won't be allowed out on pre-trial release. And let's face it; he could very well be the fall guy for the originators of Silk Road and not the "real" Dread Pirate Roberts at all.
- beedogs 13y agoAs far as I'm concerned, the murder-for-hire thing is bullshit.
- jrnkntl 13y agoI'm pretty sure it was a reference to Breaking Bad character Walter White burying his $80mm dollars in barrels in the ground somewhere in the deserts of New Mexico.
