Leaked secrets, running a drug empire, AND child porn?
Truly a man of many talents.
Yeah, but he burns the popcorn…
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
He did. 5 years worth. It's in the article.
I sometimes wonder if child porn convictions on dark web criminals, are actually a technicality where because you are part of the tor network you were involved in the distribution of child porn. Or these people are actually pedophiles.
Both options sound just as possible to me
Having worked on these kind of cases in the past on the handling-subpoenas/reporting side, you're not going to jail for it unless the FBI catches you red-handed in possession of images/videos.
Dude's a pedo.
Thanks for the info!
When my friend was younger and dumber and first exploring the dark web, it was the morbid fascination that lead to temptation. It was just exciting to do something so forbidden and get away with it. My friend has wised up since then though.
Friend is a pedo
If by younger you mean teens then it's fucked up but I guess teens are fucked up.
If you mean 20+ then your friend is not okay. At worst he is a pedo, at best he is extremely uncaring and unethical towards the suffering these images represent.
I get morbid curiosity, I have watched horrific things, but there has to be a line, and videos of suffering made for the pleasure of others should be that line.
And no one ever bought drugs again.
If you’re not going to go full-on Raymond Reddington, stay out of the dark web crime scene or you’re gonna get busted eventually.
