How on earth were you guys able to send illegal substances through the mail?

[–]xxcxcxc 14 points15 points  (5 children)

You can find this out by researching how Silk Road works :)

Erm, I'll pass.

[–]xxcxcxc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand :) I would never attempt anything like that again. It is a relatively low chance of getting caught, but if you do it could be your life over.

[–]Metalsand -2 points-1 points  (15 children)

There are actually documentaries on some older drug cartels that have been busted that will give you a clue. It's all in the packing though; if you pack something in enough layers of shipping wrap, not even drug sniffing dogs can smell it. I'd guess that most criminals are too stupid to know how to pack it and how to keep packing processes separate to avoid contaminating the final layers or boxes. This shit probably still goes on even today though with modern criminal organizations, it's kinda ridiculous we don't have a proper way to root them all out.

[–]pasabagi 1 point2 points  (14 children)

Frankly, I expect with GCHQ and NSA the police tend to know a lot more than they let on, and just let things slide most of the time. I mean, why run around with dogs when you can just write a script that orders all the silk road customers by the quantities ordered, and arrest everybody over a threshold?

[–]realashe 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Because you'd need to be a silkroad admin or have access to their account, that's before diving into things like proof and probable cause.

[–]Metalsand 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Because it's easier (and cheaper!) to wait until people eventually make a mistake, because they usually do. Case in point, my example above was how a drug operation (I believe in southern USA?) was finally caught; someone who was packing the marijuana got lazy and only put on two layers of shrink wrap instead of three and an employee of the shipping company must have smelled it. It was on TV a few years back, pretty large operation that got busted.

I know that LSD is sometimes shipped with a postal card with inane stuff written on it and the drug is actually smuggled behind the stamp.

[–]Razzman18 87 points88 points  (34 children)

Presuming you were a regular user of Silk Road I presume you had alot of bitcoins built up. Did you sell them when they hit high price? Or were they seized presuming the police confiscated your laptop or computer?

[–]xxcxcxc 223 points224 points  (24 children)

I actually didn't have any bitcoins left in my account when I was arrested. But I counted up the amount of bitcoins I had handled over a certain time period and if sold now would equate to hundreds of thousands of pounds...

[–]Shangheli 18 points19 points  (4 children)

Hope you smoked some good shit for that price.

[–]jdepps113 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Sure you didn't. That's what I'd have said in your case, too. Had the keys on flash drives the cops didn't find, right?

Don't answer me. Just pretend you never read this comment.

    I was pretty lucky in court. The judge assigned to my case was exceptionally lenient and made a speech about how I was a young person who had made mistakes but deserved a second chance.

    I also pleaded guilty to importation and intent to supply at the earliest point in the case which gave me full credit.

    Although the sentencing guidelines for what I was accused of was at least 4-6 years custody.

    How do you feel about the controversies around Silk Road and other Online Black Marketplaces involving bitcoins being stolen by staff of the sites?

    [–]xxcxcxc 271 points272 points  (41 children)

    If you read this article it'll give some insight into my opinion as I agree with some of his quotes and ideals...

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac/2013/10/02/who-is-ross-ulbricht-piecing-together-the-life-of-the-alleged-libertarian-mastermind-behind-silk-road/

    I believe the Silk Road for example wasn't just built to make profit. It was created out of an ideal and philosophy that really does speak to me. So if these staff members were stealing money etc it destroys the message and just makes the whole thing about greed. It makes me kinda ashamed that everyone is so greedy I guess.

        Do you think that the Silk Road helped decrease the violence associated with the drug trade by helping people avoid face-to-face meetings with drug dealers?

        [–]xxcxcxc 283 points284 points  (28 children)

        I dealt with MDMA only and as you probably know the drug money/gang violence etc surrounding MDMA is extremely low compared to Heroin, Cocaine and Cannabis in the UK.

        But from what I have read and from my general experiences I think it was helping to decrease it.

        In the UK, most drugs are controlled by gangs and violent criminals so when they have less business because some dutch guy is in his house, weighing up bags of cocaine and sending them to the UK through the mail; then obviously there's less money going into the hands of the street dealers and gangs. But I can't say for sure whether the money isn't eventually funnelling into organized crime etc...

          A package was flagged from Holland with my name and address on and police turned up to my house. They confiscated my phone, computer and laptop and found evidence against me.

          [–]DSEthno23 505 points506 points  (451 children)

          What happened afterward? I'm assuming nothing too strict if you're on Reddit!

          [–]xxcxcxc 1233 points1234 points  (444 children)

          I was bailed by the police and answered bail after 6 months.

          I was referred to Magistrate's court and bailed for a further 6 months.

          I was then referred from MC to Crown Court and bailed for yet another 6 months or so.

          I attended Crown Court 5 times and was entering an early guilty plea. Looking at the guidelines my solicitor said it was 100% a custodial sentence and to expect 3 years at most with your credit. So after trying to plead guilty for 4 court appearances, the judge was still not happy with the case going ahead because the prosecution had missed things out and made errors. My solicitor was also pretty useless and the judge wasn't happy.

          At my final appearance I gave evidence in the dock as the prosecution implied that I was a commercial drug dealer who was making a profit. I said that I wasn't making any profit and the drugs were intended to be sold on at cost price to close friends.

          The judge made a call based on my character and ignored a lot of the evidence against me. He reduced the sentence down to 12 months, suspended for 2 years and gave me some community service.

          So how does that work? You get to wander around for a further 2 years and then go to jail?

          What quantities we're you actually caught for? You explained that the drugs were for personal use and for friends meaning it was not for profit. But, hypothetically speaking, if someone had purchased a similar amount of drugs for a "for profit" en-devour, would the amount of bit coins they used actually be more valuable than the drugs they purchased.

          Anyway, make the best of your time in Jail, take advantage of whatever training/rehabilitation programs they have and good luck.

          Edit Thanks for the replies. I now know what a suspended sentence is.

          [–]yescox[🍰] 62 points63 points  (2 children)

          Suspended sentence means that if OP commits a crime within the designated time period (2 years), he will go to prison for 12 months for this crime, and whatever penalty is handed down for the further crime.

          [–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

          While true, there are other ways to violate a suspended sentence (not completing the conditions of your suspension or paying your fines, usually).

          [–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 27 points28 points  (1 child)

          https://www.gov.uk/types-of-prison-sentence/suspended-prison-sentences

          Suspended sentences don't send you anywhere. It's like being on parole - you meet conditions, you stay out of trouble. Unlike parole, there's no crime or trial in breaking a suspended sentence, you just go straight to jail do not pass go.

          [–]Femaref 11 points12 points  (0 children)

          So how does that work? You get to wander around for a further 2 years and then go to jail?

          A suspended sentence is a probation period. If you do not break the law in that time frame again, the sentence is dropped.

          [–]htown_swang 2 points3 points  (7 children)

          If it is like America, the suspended sentence period acts as a sort of probation where his jail term gets forgiven if he doesn't fuck up during the 2 year period.

          [–]Thater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          So how does that work? You get to wander around for a further 2 years and then go to jail?

          suspended sentence means he doesn't have to serve the 12 month sentence unless he breaks the law again over the next two years.

          [–]jbrba 10 points11 points  (1 child)

          So how does that work? You get to wander around for a further 2 years and then go to jail?

          Don't want to to jump in on the op but no. A suspended sentence means that he has been based on probation, which means that he does not have to go to prison provided that he complies with a required set of criteria for a set period. He will the property return to to court and the sentence will be discharged. However, if he breaks the terms he will be brought back to court and he then faces the prospect of serving the sentence.

            Well, I'm glad you're off the hook, I'm personally very happy with the idea of all drugs being legal and regulated, I feel that would solve a lot of problems and get the help required for those who need it, but I've got to say

            The judge... ignored a lot of the evidence against me.

            That seems like a pretty shitty judge. Can you clarify this a little? Did he actually ignore the evidence against you or did he simply figure this wasn't worth much of a punishment?

              [–]woodsbre 13 points14 points  (0 children)

              The judge also told op his lawyer was pretty shitty and the prosecution made a bunch or errors. So he couldn't be that shitty.

                  I know what it was, and what it is today, that has nothing to do with the fact that you aren't supposed to put your real name on the shipping info..

                  How did you end up getting caught?

                  I saw that you shipped to your own house, what do you think about that decision nowadays?

                  [–]xxcxcxc 220 points221 points  (243 children)

                  See below for how I got caught :)

                  I wouldn't never go back to ordering from the deep web. But it's a double edged sword ordering to your address because if you don't, the package could be scrutinized if the address/name isn't legit. But if you order to your house and it gets seized, expect more than a letter from customs.

                  [–]subjectWarlock 112 points113 points  (241 children)

                  why didn't you just pretend you hadn't ordered anything and that some stranger was just sending you something? why did you let the police search your home? it doesn't make sense.

                  [–]xxcxcxc 208 points209 points  (224 children)

                  I didn't want to seem guilty so I let them enter my house. They arrested me immediately and began searching and confiscated my items :)

                    I believe they would've found out I had a phone contract and accessed my phone text records regardless. But I could've possibly wiped any link to my facebook account and hid my phone and maybe they would've never checked. I'm not sure.

                    [–]noodlesdefyyou 280 points281 points  (43 children)

                    No, seriously, thats like Online ordering 101. Buying something questionable? When you get it, mark RTS on it and toss it aside. If asked, explain you don't know what it is and allow them to take it (indicate you had written RTS on it, but had not gotten around to taking it back to the post office yet). You're out an order, but no conviction.

                    If after a week or so nobody has bothered you about it, it's yours. Letting them in like that was just plain fucking stupid.

                    [–]greyjackal 27 points28 points  (16 children)

                    That doesn't fly.

                    If you genuinely hadn't ordered something, you'd open it up to find out what someone's sent you.

                    Then you discover it's drugs, and you should be calling the police.

                    [–]noodlesdefyyou 52 points53 points  (2 children)

                    It's still a better method than just letting cops straight in to your house.

                    I mean, without opening it, you still have 'plausible deniability'.

                    [–]Mista_Wong 5 points6 points  (11 children)

                    Why did he let the police search his home? You don't let them, they can do it with a warrant. And he said that they found evidence against him when he had his devices seized. So if he lied and they went through with the search he'd be in a bad position

                    [–]jdepps113 0 points1 point  (7 children)

                    Well, he could have sent them away at first and by the time they came back with a warrant have wiped his devices.

                    Mind you, I don't advocate any sort of criminal behavior, but hypothetically he might have done this.

                      what do you think made this package different from the others that caused it to get flagged? Since frequency wasn't the issue.

                      When you successfully received packages prior, did you ever think, damn I wish they would have been more careful?

                        Not at all. I think there should be more understanding of what "drugs" are. 'cause many things we intake can have harmful effects on the body but for some reason we are allowed to make the decision to put it in our body. But with other substances we're not allowed to make that decision. The way the system is set up is counter productive. Putting money into the wrong hands, encouraging violent/criminal behaviour and causing other problems like legal highs and research chemicals and stuff...

                        I think the decriminalization of the less harmful drugs would be better. But that could cause problems in the long term by encouraging people to turn to drugs, who otherwise wouldn't because it's illegal. I don't know!

                        [–]Green_leaf -1 points0 points  (25 children)

                        The fact that you went through all of this, yet you are still at least partially supportive of kidnapping people and locking them in cages for simply possessing a substance blows my mind.

                        [–]xxcxcxc 3 points4 points  (6 children)

                        Well when I see people creeping around nightclubs, intimidating people and causing violence etc I think "wow, I wish you would get locked up"

                        [–]megan5marie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

                        But then why not just lock them up for that violence rather than for having a substance? That way it doesn't infringe upon the rights of nonviolent drug users, and the dangerous ones are still locked up. Otherwise it's no different than making alcohol illegal to minimize drunk driving instead of just outlawing drunk driving.

                        [–]CaseySubbyJ 13 points14 points  (1 child)

                        Yeh, except that those situations wouldn't happen if there wasn't an illegal market to sell drugs. And the only way to avoid that is to regulate and legalize. And there's plenty of research proving that "legalizing/decriminalizinf some drugs = people are encouraged to do drugs" is a factitious lie promoted by conservative forces. Just look at Portugal for christ's sake. Also although I'm glad you avoided jail time, I don't know how much you'd wish people to end up in jail for selling drugs if that happened to you and you'd actually experienced life in jail. In the eyes of the law there is NO difference between you dealing 5 tabs to your friends and those sketchy dealers you don't like selling 5 tabs to random people. The only difference here is that you got fucking lucky, so you shouldn't wish someone else's misfortune based on the fact that they "creep around nightclubs".

                        [–]xxcxcxc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                        You make complete sense, thanks for explaining it so well :) I understand the problems lie with the state/system and I do know about Portugal's possession laws but not enough about them to see whether it works or not. I obviously believe some people need to go to prison and some people who don't need to go are sent over drugs charges so I agree there needs to be changes.

                        Sounds like a fairly accurate depiction to me, actually.

                        Assuming you define kidnapping as "forcing someone to go somewhere against their will" and prison cells as "cages". Neither of which is an unreasonable assessment of arrest, in my book.

                          Yes, deeply. I had the worst 18 months of my life. Something like that hanging over your head, unsure whether you will be in prison or not. Horrible stuff!

                          Well, did you at least put "import/export experience" on your resume?

                            Just curious, what's your favorite kind of music ?

                            Plenty: house, disco, techno, garage, hip hop, stuff from the 80s etc

                            What was the quality of the drugs like? I heard importing from Silk Road almost ensured really good quality when compared with what you'd get from a dealer.

                            [–]xxcxcxc 713 points714 points  (190 children)

                            It was always good quality. Some times a bit too good quality.

                            My question pertains more to darkweb than your specific charges. I'm a writer and I find the darkweb intriguing. I've done a lot of research and I'm curious about your opinion. Do you think this portion of the internet is capable of ultimately be used to positive purposes. Examples would be anonymity in cases such as whistleblowing etc. I find that the general view by the uninformed public is that the darkweb is solely evil. Its portrayal from news outlets of course does nothing to belay this fear. I think this is an area that is highly underutilized and could be used to immense advantage. Do you believe that there is a greater potential for this space to be used in positive ways or do you feel that its can only be used for criminal enterprises? Also, really pleased to see your sentence. A lot of times courts don't understand these types of internet transactions and in that misunderstanding go way overboard.

                            [–]xxcxcxc 106 points107 points  (10 children)

                            I think the Dark Web is just a reaction to the amount of surveillance in society as a whole. But it's hard to say how I feel because how I feel is based on PEOPLE and not TECHNOLOGY. Bad people will use technology for bad things, good people will use it for good things. So I can't say either way really.

                            If people think the Dark Web is bad then they should blame whoever caused the need for such a technology to exist in the first place. Which is governments around the world who don't respect peoples rights to privacy.

                            [–]NauticalxDisaster 20 points21 points  (8 children)

                            Yes! This is exactly my point when I try to explain it to others. People that will do "bad" things, whatever your idea of bad is, will do them regardless. Plus, when you really get into it, some of the people doing bad things also do good things. I have a rather varied view of blackhat hacking, I mean, yes of course this ability can be used against you, but sometimes it is also used for what I consider good. That said, gonna be in London Nov 5th?

                              Dayum. For some reason I was expecting you to have ordered some weed or something and they just went hard on you to prove a point.

                              What steps did you take to not get caught? What steps should you have taken to avoid being found out?

                              [–]xxcxcxc 88 points89 points  (80 children)

                              I obviously used Silk Road on TOR and I used bitcoins to pay which doesn't leave much of a paper trail back to myself. The problem was that if one suspect package got seized it would have my name and address on and instead of receiving a "love letter" from customs you would get police officers knocking at your door. Any evidence they find after knocking on your phone/computer can link you to the package. If you didn't have a single scrap of evidence on your computer/phone linking to the package you could deny the package was for you and probably face no charges.

                              [–]nocheesegromit 38 points39 points  (77 children)

                              so what was the evidence linking you to the package? Why were you unable to deny you ordered it?

                              [–]jazzmcneil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                              He had emails on his PC proving he sold the tablets to friends.

                              [–]xxcxcxc 98 points99 points  (75 children)

                              They had evidence on my phone openly discussing selling MDMA.

                              [–]NetherGG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                              soo all you have to do is order to a friend's house, who agrees to share the risk with you, with him having a fresh computer and not a single talk with each other over the internet, and you're 100% safe i guess

                              [–]Jruthe1 18 points19 points  (2 children)

                              Would you ever consider going back to selling?

                                Sounds like a close call, glad to hear you avoided jail. Do you have any hypothetical tips for buying illegals off the internet. I know there are sites similar to Silk Road still around...how could one hypothetically take less of a risk whilst buying from the internet?

                                [–]daisymk 12 points13 points  (3 children)

                                How did you get into it in the first place? Was it already quite well-established when you got involved? I've known a few people who ordered things (and received them, and been very happy with quality!), but I've never known a seller, so also would be really interested to know what you did to set it all up in the first place. Side question - were you bricking it when you sent out your first orders? :)

                                [–]xxcxcxc 27 points28 points  (2 children)

                                Ahh I think you misunderstood. I wasn't using Silk Road to sell anything. I just used it to buy. It was pretty easy to get into... there were youtube guides and blogs with guides etc.

                                If you mean to buy drugs, I get them off friends but only rarely these days.

                                If you mean which drugs, just MDMA.

                                [–]Y3808 98 points99 points  (61 children)

                                Uhhh...you really wanna admit to that after you got a suspended sentence with a laundry list of restrictions, one of which surely is not to buy or sell any more controlled substances?

                                I think a 12 year old could do it on a Mac Mini by watching a couple of Youtube videos... so yeah :P

                                [–]xxcxcxc 32 points33 points  (3 children)

                                Not from Silk Road. I've had bad experiences with other dealers. Pills that were PMMA. I responded by having a pretty bad weekend and never going back to that particular person.

                                It did screw with my personal life for a long time. My girlfriend was worried about me possibly not being around. My family suffered and going to court and being on bail messed with my job etc. But now everything is great. Everyone who was supposed to stand by me did so :)

                                Do you know how your package got flagged? That's the scariest part about SR, because you never know if your package is going to make it through without suspicion

                                [–]xxcxcxc 16 points17 points  (5 children)

                                No idea. 100 tablets was my biggest order so it might have been because of the quantity.

                                Did you not have a login/password required for your computer and phone or were the police able to get past it?

                                [–]xxcxcxc 3 points4 points  (4 children)

                                They didn't require any info from me to access my phone records. They did it through the phone network (Three). They didn't access anything on my computer apart from Facebook messages which were through Facebooks server.

                                I don't like other drugs. Weighing up the pros and cons of other drugs and MDMA is the only one I choose to risk to take.

                                Looking back. Would you have done anything differently? How do you feel the police acted towards you throughout the process?

                                Was it just bad luck that got the package flagged coming to you, or an OPSEC issue somewhere up the chain?

                                Can you describe in detail what happened when the police showed up to your door?
