ulbricht went to my high school

i don't really remember him he was kinda nerdy but when he got busted i remember thinking "oh THAT guy" and in my head he was still a high school student i just hadn't seen in over a decade and not a 30 year old man so wrapping my head around him being the mastermind of a huge criminal organization kinda blew my mind for a few weeks

the thing about juries is that if you know about the case beforehand it's pretty hard to get in

notice that its the judge telling them to explain everything in excruciating detail. the jury could know all or some of the stuff and not need that detailed of an explanation. most people use Facebook and wikipedia so the concepts of private vs public messages and a wiki shouldn't be too bad.

hidden website doesn't need to be explained too much either. the intricacies of how tor work are really irrelevant to the charges. hell if it was a standard website it wouldn't make any meaningful difference to the trial. thats likely the kind of thing the judge was talking about when she was talking about mumbo jumbo. they could spend weeks talking about public key encryption and in the end its really not relevant (hell, even bitcoin is kinda incidental to all this)

the random darknet shopper has had all their purchases seized

quote:

On the morning of January 12, the day after the three-month exhibition was closed, the public prosecutor's office of St. Gallen seized and sealed our work. It seems, the purpose of the confiscation is to impede an endangerment of third parties through the drugs exhibited by destroying them. This is what we know at present. We believe that the confiscation is an unjustified intervention into freedom of art. We'd also like to thank Kunst Halle St. Gallen for their ongoing support and the wonderful collaboration. Furthermore, we are convinced, that it is an objective of art to shed light on the fringes of society and to pose fundamental contemporary questions.

They asked a question and got an answer. That's not art. It's really almost the exact opposite.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
