Just goes to show that most criminals are stupid.
Some are stupid but know how to code.

That interview was basically "He a gud boi" in a WASP dialect.

1) He got caught.
2) He got caught by making himself completely and easily traceable.
3) He got ripped off by his own hitmen.
I mean, this is the Internet and all but we're not going to argue that he was some criminal mastermind here, are we?

He had his laptop stolen from him by the fbi. They wouldn't have had shite without it

Were they just walking up to random people and jacking their laptops?
Even accepting your version of the events, they still traced him and knew he was their guy.

and had to commit a bunch of crimes and violate his rights to get the real information they needed
this case is fricked up and is a sign of the police state that is fueled by the war on drugs
this is a scary case with a scary result

I'll play along. What rights were violated? Did his defense bring that up?
Just reading the article in the OP, the parents' defense seems to be that he was taking the fall for somebody else, not that he got railroaded by Uncle Sam.
Posted on 2/4/15 at 5:31 pm to SlowFlowPro
What crimes did they commit and why wasn't the defense all over that?

4th amendment, privacy, etc

several. all shot down in the name of the War on Drugs. if you look at our 4th amendment rights in 1950 and compare them today, you'd be blown away. there has been a complete erosion

well i don't think his participation was really direct. people dealt drugs via silk road more than he dealt drugs
that's the overarching defense (which isn't the best. the scary shite is how the FBI got there)

they created a ruse in a library so that he looked away from his laptop
then an agent stole the laptop and another entered it illegally and ghosted his hard drive
if you did that, you'd be guilty of a slew of crimes. since it was teh police, and since drugs were involved, the law is irrelevant

We are living in scary times. A true police state isn't inconceivable.

Didn't he do something stupid like use an old gmail address from his political rants on the admin part of the server?
They seized a copy of the website when a server was accidentally found somewhere on the other side of the world.

i don't know THAT much detail about the investigation. just the snippets about the stolen laptop and catch-22 about the servers

The extent to which our government will go to limit personal freedoms is staggering. Think of all the millions of soldiers who have died to protect the the governments right to throw your arse in jail so that they can protect you from harming yourself.
