Is Jason Clarke legally required to be shown drowning/waterboarding someone in every movie he's in?  

This looks good, little too geeked up on law enforcement side, but great cast and looks (admittedly from only the trailer) to be true to the story.  Hard to believe this kid did most of this from just a few miles from where I type this in South Austin.  

The most important thing to remember is that after law enforcement took him down, sales of drugs over the internet stopped overnight.   

This young man should be running the NSA instead of rotting in a cell.

Just watched it and it was pretty good.

Spoiler

I didn’t know tons about the case so I thought the whole time the DEA guy stuff was going to be Hollywood bullshit.  Wow!

Wasn't he a member of TOS? I might be confused with something else.

From that movie I don’t think he had time or the want  to be playing around on shaggy...

Almost certainly not.  Someone was DreadPirateRoberts there. Thats it.  Ulbrict took his anonymity seriously.

Not a lot of it.  They found a server in Iceland called Frosty related to Silk Road and one post on some forum when he used the name frosty which was originally registered to a ulbrict email before it changed. That sort of thing. And only about 2 or 3 things like that total in several years of Silk Road. It took multiple agencies digging through that stuff to find him. That would be quite an overlooking by about 50 agents of different entities to miss this.

 I just saw the thread about this in the Daily Texan forum. LOL

Good book about this called American Kingpin.  I have zero doubt about his guilt.
