Given the amount of detail of the email exchanges with the alleged blackmailer and hit man, either both of them were actually police and/or informants doing entrapment, or else DPR’s Silk Road system has been compromised for a long time or is retaining information that any sensible Bad Guy would have deleted, indicating that the information security was amazingly bad for a site that’s trying to provide a secure marketplace for illegal activities. Sure glad I didn’t try to buy any, umm, “research chemicals” there.
