So Silk Road didn't allow weapons or child sexual abuse material or even stolen credit cards on the site. And again, I find it very fascinating what criminals won't touch due to ethical reasons. I could never run or operate or even admin a darknet marketplace. I'd get stressed out, turn old and die in like one week.

Just this week in my town, there was a warning poster I saw stuck in a bathroom of a coffee shop downtown. And it said, look out, there's a bad batch going around. Make sure to carry Narcan and test your drugs. It's talking about fentanyl. And just this week, I saw in my town, there were two fentanyl-related deaths. One guy found dead in a bathroom and the other overdosed in a jail cell.

See, fentanyl is an opioid, a painkiller, but it's 50 times more potent than morphine. And it's just incredibly powerful. But because it's so potent, people can easily take too much and die, which is a problem on its own. But what's scary to me is people don't always know they're taking it. One darknet market vendor was simply selling Xanax and oxycodone.

Now people buying this stuff think that's what they're getting, but no, this seller was lacing the Xanax and oxycodone with fentanyl.

So if some dad who just had tennis elbow or something needed some heavy duty painkillers, he could wait a month for a doctor visit and then get a prescription and then go to the pharmacy and get it, or he could just order it on a darknet marketplace and have it in four days. But that's dangerous because he could get one laced with fentanyl and run a huge risk of overdosing on it.

And we hear stories of people dying from fentanyl all the time. And this is why it's important to test the drugs you get. There are fentanyl strips that you can get where you can test to see if the drug you bought has fentanyl in it. And this is why I could never be a Darknet market admin.

If I knew there were people lacing deadly things into drugs that shouldn't be there and killing people, I'd feel obligated to figure out who the hell that person was that sold it. And that guy who was selling that laced oxycodone got arrested and was put in prison for 20 years. And he is very likely responsible for a few deaths.

So some vendors on these Darknet marketplaces really don't give a fuck. Despite all the illegal stuff that Sam was doing, It's good to see that he wasn't misleading his customers or lacing them with deadly ingredients. And he had rules that he was following.

Okay, so one thing that you should be clear about from the beginning if you're going to be a darknet market vendor is you need a goal. Because things can get crazy deep down in the darknet. And if you're not clear of what you're doing down there, you could get swept up in the undertow.

I learned about Sam because he gave a talk at DEF CON last year. And in his talk, he had a clear warning for others. Don't drink and type.
