Uncle Trump
Oh shit, we're going into the dark web again 😍 Not everyone noticed, but Trump pardoned the founder of the largest and legendary darknet portal, Ross William Ulbricht, better known as Dread Pirate Roberts - the founder of Silk Road. On Silk Road, you could get almost anything: from buying drugs, weapons, viruses, counterfeit documents, ATMs, fake money to even ordering a hit. It was truly a free market for organized crime. His arrest devalued Bitcoin almost by half, because a significant part of real, rather than speculative, cryptocurrency circulation was driven by his market. Ulbricht was sentenced to TWO LIFE SENTENCES in court somewhere in 2014, instead of being made to work for the government. It's obvious that the guy is too smart to sit in prison; he was just using his intellect in the wrong direction. And now he has gained new connections in the world of organized crime thanks to the U.S. penitentiary system, acquired experience in documenting cyber crimes, and will become almost invulnerable to law enforcement. A super interesting experiment: how quickly will he get rid of his shackles 🤔 I think some special services were involved because in 2022 it turned out that some agencies among Americans exist primarily on paper. And the 'military experience' is mainly stored in dusty textbooks or in the medals of generals who did not participate in real wars; they probably received their badges for exterminating high-tech weaponry against billion-dollar groups of religious fanatics in flip-flops on pickup trucks with Kalashnikovs. Agree, hitting a rocket from a drone on dusty, dirty-bottomed fanatics, or firing a missile at a barn in the desert without air defense, is far from the same as fighting against the regular army of the largest country in the world. And the agency among the enemy needs to be different for such tasks. It's like comparing a U.S. Navy SEAL's fight with an ordinary street cat: 'beating up kittens.' Accordingly, the 'agency' among Islamists can be found for a bag of rice or a couple thousand bucks, which will do whatever you need. But in a large-scale war, such a war from a tablet, under an air conditioner, and with Coca-Cola seems unnecessary experience that cannot be realistically adapted. Therefore, returning a bit to reality, the CIA created the TOR portal, dusted off a YouTube video, and started to restore real agencies. With hackers, recruiting via YouTube videos won't work, so it looks like Uncle Sam is returning to the best practices of special services: taking ready-made criminals from the market and making them run wild 😍 They say the first 'lawmen' appeared when the state realized it was better to let others kill dangerous people. Grab some popcorn, the darknet is being revived, censorship is being removed: the wild market in cyber security is returning 😈 the smartest and cleverest will win.
