For me the craziest part isn't that they got caught (OPSEC slip ups with shipping lady and bitcoin slip ups) but how much they were making.
Mark (Ted) seems to have the lion share but his production guy seems to have not made nearly as much going off the article...so either he hid it better than Ted's gold stash (he had actual gold at the residence) or Ted was ripping off his production

what gets me is why he involved so many people, if the court docs are right 60-80 orders a week is at most 8h of work.

I wonder when they made that estimate, bc once Ted started limiting orders and when you could order, I believe those numbers but not in the early days

then to vikings point, why so many people? Maybe Ted (hes quoted in the affidavit saying something to this affect) was under the impression he would be legally less implicated if he only bought the equipment and did rtp

It was his way of socializing. He liked being the boss of people and paying them.

Just did some reading

  1. He has a PhD in physics, for perspective only 1.7k americans receive a phd in physics each year

    1. to those saying it's crazy how much he made given volume, consider when he started selling bitcoin was $5. he probably made a lot off deflation

What doesn't make sense is why he was still making fake ID's for $200 a pop with almost 5 mil in the bank. he must have genuinely enjoyed it and felt uncatchable, although idk how anyone could feel that way after what happened to ross

seems like an interesting guy. I hope he opens up about this some day and tells his story after he's released
