He made a great move in the game, but completely mis-analyzed the reason it works during the post-game interview [1]. Several GMs found that suspicious, especially given revelations that he'd previously admitted to cheating. Specifical

But "people and companies changing markets" is encoded in the slope of the demand curve, and "building happening at different price points" is encoded in the slope of the supply curve, right?

Depends on the scale. Withdrawing millions of dollars to a bank account will require more than the median user's cookies, passwords, & 2FA.

A few moments' research reveal many reasons to think the evidence was real, eg: Ulbricht's right-hand-man Roger Thomas Clark, who was involved in one of the murder-for-hire conversations, admitted the conversation was real during
