Anyone seen cybercrimes with Ben Hammersley? Particularly the darknet episode. Pretty interesting stuff. I'm curious if the forum where silkroad was first advertised was the shroomery. He claimed it to be a forum dedicated to magic mushrooms. Good show either waY.

Yeah it was here Not the only time Shroomery has wound up in the news/MSM though. There are a couple of other incidents where it does. A certain person's suicide, and there was recently an article about Kratom that quoted people's post on this forum. I'm sure there are others as well. It's a pretty big site with tons of members and has been around for a long time. It's kind of inevitable that it would end up being in the news/MSM.
Does anyone know if that's the incident that lead to the no source discussion rule?
To the people who were here before that post, was source discussion outlawed even then? Or did that happen around the same time?

Source discussion hasn't been allowed at least since I've been here. People actually did discuss SR I assume because it was in newspapers and stuff and had alot of interesting discussion topics surrounding it regarding online privacy and such strong ties to crypto-currency. It was sort of a grey area and it seems like that post just kinda slipped through for the most part because hardly anybody really took notice of it at the time Pretty sure it took off mainly on other sites he posted on also under the name 'altoid' I believe, reddit maybe? This was just the first.
Source discussion isn't allowed because this is a place for sharing information, not promoting illegal drug sales. I think there's both legal and ethical concerns behind that rule, and I'm pretty sure it has been standard since this site began.

Yeah he was Dread Pirate Roberts (supposedly I think ?? nobody knows for sure). Pretty sure they banged him up for life or something. That's why the shroomery refrains from any involvement in drug solicitation or sales we are merely students of the natural environment and fungi that grow off these environments' rot.

In the show they speculate it may have been him and he paid someone to have a partner of his murdered. But who he paid was an fbi agent and his partner turned informant. The show is on Netflix. Plenty of other good episodes as well.
