The FBI guy is a total scumbag, a total LIAR! The whole Silk Road case was a setup from the beginning till the end. Ross was used as a patsy (he doesn't know it) to hit hard into Bitcoin community.
Before watching this garbage interview you MUST watch all these, to understand how all the case was a huge setup by gov.
I've listen to the whole thing, definitely interesting but got say it makes my blood boil.
The guy clearly has a different moral code than most people here, tldr: security > freedom/privacy. He defends that tradeoff because he thinks it's what is a better for his kids.
He claims to understand the libertarian position, simply disagrees with it.
I’ve only watched the beginning but it was gross to here him describe how he “sells” cases to superiors. I’m not surprised it works this way - it’s how large orgs work. But it feels gross to talk about putting people in prison as a sale.

The Silk Road case:
Curtis Green (in bitcoin mag interview) said this is a good read:

Lex never asked him if he thought two consecutive life sentences was reasonable, just or moral.
I found this disappointing as it was really the only question I wanted to hear him answer.
This episode could have been very good but it fell short. Lex was all over the place and his love "schtick" and getting to be a bit much.
Cheers,
GR

big time bragging rights club.
it’s gnarly that he tried to give the 180k bitcoins to the FBI but they said the evidence room was closed 💀😆

Ugh. Really don’t want to give Lex OR the FBI the time of day but I am curious enough to watch this.
