Lex Fridman Podcast · #340 – Chris Tarbell: FBI Agent Who Took Down Silk Road · 22 Nov 2022 podcast

you know and go across so what's the operation was done in bitcoin it's all done in bitcoin you you couldn't you had escrow accounts on you know you came in and you put money in an escrow account and you know the transaction wasn't done until the client got the the drugs or whatever they had bought um and then the drug dealers had sent it in there was some talk at the time that the cartel was starting to sell on there um so that started getting a little hairy there at the end

I mean, it was all just chatter.

It was just, you know, because like I said, Jared was on the inside, so we saw some of it from the admin sides.

And Ross had a lot of private conversations with the different people that he had advised him.

But no one knew each other.

I mean, the only thing that they knew were the admins had to send an ID to Ross, had to send a picture of their driver's license or passport.

Which I always found very strange because if you are an admin on a site that sells fake IDs, why would you send your real ID?

And then why would the guy running the site who profits from selling fake IDs believe that it was?

But fast forward, they were all real IDs.

All the IDs that we found on Ross's computer as the admins were the real people's IDs.

What do you make of that?

Yeah.

Low hanging fruit, I guess.

I guess that's what it is.

I mean, I would have bought, I mean, even Ross bought fake IDs off the site.

He had federal agents knock on his door.

you know, and then he got a little cocky about it.

I don't think anyone trusts anybody.

I mean, I think Ross had his advisors of trust.

But outside of that, I mean, he required people to send their ID for their trust.
