Hey Everyone, Getting to everyone's answers. There are some techinical issues with the questions and the reply button.

While I can’t condone the purchasing of illegal or prohibited substances, I do concur with you that it is unlikely the occasional dark web purchase may not come across anyone’s radar.

Usually how people get in trouble is through some situation they never saw coming.

Let's say in this situation the dark web market store gets seized and they get busted. Perhaps they have some of the buyer's personal data like home address or IP address. Perhaps they share that information with law enforcement as part of a plea deal.

It’s more likely that a user of the dark web marketplaces could be wrapped up in an investigation that wasn’t initially intended for them, but may lead to them being a suspect.

I actually know someone that went to jail this way. So be careful, it’s usually the unforeseeable consequences that get us in the most trouble.

Apologies for the delay. The AMA wiki told us to post early so we had time for questions to pile up.

WOW, has it really been 10 yrs. Back then this was one of the only places people were talking about bitcoin. Yes, I’ve learned quite a bit from reddit and its users. For one the psychology of the scammers and the typologies of the scams has helped me and my team quickly identify when someone is a victim even if they are in denial.
