i forget who asked but the reason why i am not listed on this page https://gwern.net/dnm-arrest#silk-road-1-sr1
so, their data is skimpy anyway
but i was working with BMR at the time i was arrested, not SR, and if you search that text for "bulgaria" you see they don't have data on bulgaria
anyone who wants to document the history of dark web arrests i have a story to tell, the tricky part is you have to trawl through bulgarian websites to find info about it
i was told by a couple of people that they wrote very mean things about me in the local bulgarian press at the time but they had amped up the whole thing so much they sent the spetz politsiya after me and very nearly killed me
maybe they don't really want you all to know about it
i had the right to claim damages for excessive force in the arrest, and there is absolutely no question they very nearly murdered me over this

Probably was me in this note:
I saw something that said the author imagined coverage upwards of 90% of arrests but I think your story suggests it only scratched the surface.
How much is a global conspiracy against unapproved money and how much is a global conspiracy against unapproved drugs may be hard to disentangle. The root of it is, I suppose, a global conspiracy against human rights and unapproved activities generally. I still wonder if there was a specific bitcoin angle.
