I guess the RTP is more knowledgeable about the Dark Web than he is.

Tried hacking my way through the weird assortment of articles put out by the above. According to one of them, he never went on the run, suggesting he has been held all this time, since April 2nd, by military authorities. Then they say he turned himself in. None of it makes any sense, that's for sure. BS baffles brains.

8000bht seems too cheap, but otherwise believable. buy in bulk and repackage, solid business plan except for the other bits
