    You’re making assumptions.

    Also, he wasn’t an idiot. He just didn’t have any prior experience or training as a Dev or in opsec.

    Glen geeenwald is not an idiot and he was just as ignorant when Snowden tried to contact him.

      I feel like if you’re running an online black market, step number one is not using your real name or regular email (it was gmail, no less, so hello NSA). I’m not opsec, that’s just insanely dumb.

      Listen, if you think being the admin of a darknet drug marketplace and using your real name in public forums doesn’t make you an idiot, then you’re an idiot too.

      Also, Glen Greenwald is absolutely an idiot.
