When Ross Ulbricht received a mystery $31 million bitcoin donation Saturday, some guessed he was sending himself old Silk Road profits.

Crypto tracers now tell me they suspect a much stranger source for the money: a vendor from the defunct dark web market AlphaBay. https://www.wired.com/story/ross-ulbricht-31-million-donation-alphabay/

Ross Ulbricht Got a $31 Million Donation From a Dark Web Dealer, Crypto Tracers Suspect

Crypto-tracing firm Chainalysis says the mysterious 300-bitcoin donation to the pardoned Silk Road creator appears to have come from someone associated with a different defunct black market: AlphaBay.

After spending the last 18 months writing the story below, I'm now fascinated with the world of dark web psychedelics. If you've sold significant quantities on the dark web (or elsewhere) of LSD, psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, ketamine etc. (or know someone who did) and would be willing to talk, I'm Andy.01 on Signal.

The Epic Rise and Fall of a Dark-Web Psychedelics Kingpin

Interdimensional travel, sex with aliens, communion with God. Anything is possible with just a sprinkle of DMT. Akasha Song’s secret labs made millions of doses—and dollars—until the feds showed up.
