I have researched your site and the concept seems interesting to me (as long as it is anonymous as everyone makes it out to be). How much is it possible to sell on here if we listed every product far cheaper than everyone else? We have a majority hold over most of the movement of products in western Canada (one of the main drug ports to North America).
So, if there is anything I can do as the admin here to help you get involved in Silk Road, or anything I can do to help with your situation with friendlychemist, please just let me know. I encourage you to read the wiki and forum.
Being a vendor, you'll have the protection that dealing anonymously in bitcoin provides, and you'll have protection against people like friendlychemist ripping you off because all transactions are conducted through my escrow. Many people here purchase in bulk as well as retail quantities. If you don't already sell here on Silk Road, I'd like you to consider becoming a vendor.
Obviously you have access to illicit substances in quantity, and are having issues with bad distributors. friendlychemist aside, we should talk about how we can do business. I'm not entirely sure what the best action to take is, but I wanted to be in communication with you to see if we can come to a conclusion that works for everyone. Just to be clear, I do not owe him any money, but he has told me his situation and wants my help. We've had some technical difficulties the past 24 hours I've had to deal with.

(He does, however, face murder-for-hire charges in a separate case in Baltimore.) In fact, the prosecution admitted in court that the purported victims of the Silk Road killings were never found, and that Canadian police couldn't even locate records for anyone with their names. Ulbricht, who the prosecutors have sought to prove is that Dread Pirate Roberts, hasn't been charged with murder-for-hire in his Southern District of New York case, though he faces charges that include conspiracies to sell narcotics, launder money and more. Over the course of just a few days, his scheme spirals from merely tracking down a blackmailer to intimidate him, to hiring Hell's Angels to kill that blackmailer, to paying those same hitmen a total of $650,000 to kill four more people. Those messages capture what seem to be a grisly nadir for the Silk Road's pseudonymous administrator known as the Dread Pirate Roberts.
#TORCHAT CONVERSATION SERIES#
On Monday, in the final hours before the the Department of Justice rested its case against Ulbricht, prosecutor Timothy Howard read aloud from a long series of private messages retrieved from the Silk Road's market server and user forum.
#TORCHAT CONVERSATION TRIAL#
But prosecutors in the trial of Ross Ulbricht, the 30-year-old accused of running that anonymous bazaar, have pointed to one conversation they say shows the contrary: That the Silk Road's boss was willing to resort to the drug trade's most violent measures when it suited his needs. Many of the ideological supporters of the Silk Road have described its sprawling online black market for drugs as an experiment in victimless crime and a nonviolent alternative to the bloody turf wars of the streets.
