Adrian Chen wants an interview with anyone busted through Silk Road (self.SubredditDrama)

60 ups - 16 downs = 44 votes

So Adrian Chen had the guts to come back to reddit and ask for an interview. Due to the nature of the Silk Roads users being more relaxed towards Jailbait the thread rained downvotes.

Thread

If you look the profile of /u/Adrian802, the post is still there, but the actual self-post got deleted from the subreddit, meaning the mods intervened and took it down, rather than him taking it down himself.

He CAN... he just won't.

You'd be fucking retarded to trust this guy with anything.

Because he already proved that he is willing to ignore anonymity if it gets him page views such as when he released the information about violentacrez or however you spell his name.

i think that proves that he doesn't hold anonymity as sacred as reddit does and is willing to break it when he believes he is right in doing so. what does that have to do with "trusting him with anything" though? violentacrez never trusted him with anything.

Well that's just the point though isn't it? He doesn't hold the same opinion on anonymity as most redditors appear to so why trust him if you know that? He carelessly caused harm to someone in the real world and personally that makes him not such a great person in my mind.

well no. when he says "I will keep you anonymous" my thought isn't does he hold the same opinion on anonymity as me. it's well he promised to. and keeping your source thats giving you a scoop anonymous is far from an investigative piece on a man that reveals his identity. it's like your friend saying "stealing is morally justified in some cases" and you going well i guess i can't trust you to borrow my car.

Leave it to the SRSer to find nothing wrong with Doxxing and lying to your sources.

Because he has the integrity of a double-crossing NSA agent selling you the drugs he stole from the local mafia.

When he says "I can keep you anonymous", what he really means is "i'll fuck you over as hard as I possibly can if I get 15 seconds of fame and/or money".
