And if that doesn't give you yellow fever, then I don't know what the fuck will!

Vanity Fair staff writer Nick Bilton has a new book out on Ulricht-Silk Road and Vanity Fair has published an excerpt on their website where our old friend makes a significant appearance. Somewhat oddly, while other characters are called by their real names, Roger is referred to by his VJ pseudonym.
Doesn't sound like the book is likely to expose any new information--at least judging from the excerpt which seems like just another rehashing of a tale we already know far better than the readers ever will. But maybe it does. I'm curious, but not curious enough to buy and read the book and find out. Roger's inevitable book is likely to be a hell of a lot more entertaining.Ulbricht, who operated on the site under the pseudonym “Dread Pirate Roberts”—a nod to the 80s movie The Princess Bride—treated security as his top priority. He discussed everything on a secure chat application. After the alleged theft, he consulted his consigliere, a Canadian whom he had never met in real life but who operated on the Silk Road under the nom de plume “Variety Jones.” The first solution to the management crisis seemed the easiest: to simply pay the employee, Curtis Green, a visit and subsequently scare him into returning the stolen money. The second solution involved beating Green up for his treason.
But Ulbricht feared that neither option would work. His site was based on trust and scruples. If word got out on the Silk Road that users could steal hundreds of thousands of dollars without reprisal, others might skim, too. For days, Ulbricht waffled over the decision; he was, after all, just a twentysomething physics geek and coder from the Texas Hill Country. Was he really capable of violence?
After a few days, Variety Jones messaged Ulbricht: “So, you’ve had your time to think. You’re sitting in the big chair, and you need to make a decision.”
“I would have no problem wasting this guy,” Ulbricht replied.

Maybe because he hasn't been convicted of anything. And if he never is, and VF names and shames him, then old mate would have very good grounds to sue. Just sayin'Jesús Malverde wrote:Somewhat oddly, while other characters are called by their real names, Roger is referred to by his VJ pseudonym.

No, Roger's name has been out in the press for a looong time now, there's no longer any valid journalistic reason to refer to Clark using the VJ (or any other) pseudonym. His name isn't VJ, or Cimon, or Plural of Mongoose, it's Roger Thomas Clark. It's not like Clark is or will be in any position to file suit. He couldn't even obtain counsel to defend himself against Gypsy in a simple civil matter when he was both free and operating businesses, never mind organize and press some sort of libel or defamation suit from a prison cell against a staff writer for a magazine that probably has a white shoe NYC law firm on permanent retainer.

In the context of the excerpt they absolutely have to refer to VJ. Clark is still "allegedly" VJ and will be until he is convicted.

You think maybe those same shiny lawyers had something to do with referring to VJ as VJ in the context of an alleged conspiracy to murder?Jesús Malverde wrote: never mind organize and press some sort of libel or defamation suit from a prison cell against a staff writer for a magazine that probably has a white shoe NYC law firm on permanent retainer.

Painful indeed.... "WHO THE FUCK IS MONGOOSE?"
what interview, it was more like a vacation debriefing, I don't recollect a single question and answer except for "can you bring me some cigarettes"
