It's funny how a guy who is smart enough to run an online drug marketplace is enough of a dumbass to still live in the USA while doing that and get caught redhanded with enough information on his pc to put him away for life. This guy will be lucky if he gets out in 20 years at this point.

This is the same guy who arranged for the execution of [I think it was] five people, paid over a half million for it and then saved the chat and transaction logs. Yeah, he was likely scammed out of that money, but he thought he was getting people killed.
