Has anyone ever gotten busted as a result of being on the Shroomery? 1

Foreword: I know this is probably a noob question that's been asked lots of times before, but I did try to google it and came up with nothing. We also all know already that L.E.O. frequent this site and have been probably since the beginning. In fact, the shroomery is credited with first tipping L.E. off to the existance of the Silk Road tor marketplace, via a small innocuous post that barely had any replies whatsoever that was posted presumably by one of the founders of Silk Road.
So, that being said... Have there been any documented instances of a Shroomery member being busted solely from their activity on this website?

Not that I know of, if you are going to get busted it is 9 times out of 10 gonna be from running your mouth to friends about your illegal activities.

Yeah I tend to agree on that, as well as selling to anyone who might eventually get busted then rat you out to save their own hide.
I sometimes think the government lets sites like this exist so they can learn about all of the new drug trends as they happen.
So as far as anyone can remember no one has been busted solely as a result of their activity on here?

I'm sure the authorities know of my activities however I've made hundreds upon hundreds of drug deals over the years in all manner of places
They've gotta know something

Even if you post evidence of having broken laws, there is still the problem of knowing for sure whether you even reside in an area where a given law enforcement agency has jurisdiction. Unless you're attracting a lot of attention otherwise like the silk road guys, it's probably not worth it to any law enforcement agency to put time into trying to investigate your shroomery posts. For all they know it could turn out you live in Finland or Venezuela or something, and they've wasted all this time and money on a fruitless effort.

It's possible DPR got busted from his post on the shroomery, it certainly gave them more information. I don't think the DEA really gives a shit about small mushroom grow ops. Also its kind of hard to link people that post on here to their home state unless they post their location so it wouldn't be easy on the state level to figure it out either.

A) This site is based in the USA. That means required responses to government subpoena requests. If the government wants info from this site, it's an official request away. That means all of everyone's info from your logon frequency to your private messages. B) You're naive if you think grow teks are all that happens around here.
I'd be willing to bet Shroomery activity has been the downfall of at least one person over the years.

Truth be told, I've wondered this myself. If anyone here ever ran into legal probs...I would imagine that they'd alert the shroomery masses. At least, I would hope so. There are a lot of good people here.

Only threads I could find were several years old, so I thought I'd see if there has been any more recent arrests due to shroomery activity alone. I did find an older post by Ythan were he said law enforcement has never, ever contacted shroomery, but like I said that was years ago.

There are (or were, haven't looked in a while) plenty of other forums that deal with people selling shit. Now with DNMs its pretty much pointless to vend online anywhere but on tor and using BTCs. I'd be amazed if a person a year was busted because of their activity here. Not to say its never happened, but I really doubt its as common as you think. The only people here that know legally can't talk about it. Shroomery isn't a drug bazaar.

IIRC there was one instance in the last couple years where they were required to provide info on some guy because of a divorce case or something.

I think it's hard to say if Shroomery activity would be a sole cause of arrest in the first place. It seems more likely it end up part of a body of evidence against someone in a criminal case.
But you gotta wonder about those helpful folks who post in the cultivation area, posting pics of teks and their setups for the community, etc. for a while that just disappear one day to never post again. You can go back in many older threads and find members who have gone back and deleted all of their old posts, some months and years after the fact. But I know that those things alone don't mean they got busted cause of Shroomery, or that they were even busted at all.

Unless you got busted and cops seized your computer, and read everything you've posted on here, and use it against you in court
