That is really bizarre. Anyone familiar with the now-defunct Atlantis Market? Their social media pages are still up. Anyways, check these photos out.

Motherboard published a piece yesterday that comes right out and identifies our old friend Thomas Clark along with a Mike Wattier as the two principle architects behind the Silk Road website and empire and nails down--as many of us thought--Clark as being Silk Road's Variety Jones. Apparently our friend was (unsurprisingly) mostly running the operation from Big Koh Chang island in Thailand. Motherboard was apparently able to hack one of Clark's email accounts. One of the bookmarks found there was to a DEA tipline which might well explain Clarks uncanny seeming ability to stay out of custody. His Bangkok Airways account was also hacked, an account using the name Roger Clarke, another old alias for PoM.
So those of you wondering what became of PoM, it looks like he kept himself very busy the last several years, was probably the main force behind the Silk Road (much more so than Ulbricht) and has been hanging out in Thailand much of the time since we last heard from him. This also means whomever posted that Clark was in a prison in England for grow charges was probably doing deliberate misdirection and was most likely PoM himself trying to cover his tracks. Too bad about him apparently being a DEA informant, his would actually be a most impressive CV lacking that.
Read it all yourself here:

Should I post that photo of Mr. Clark again? He's DEA, I mean c'mon. Why do we want to protect his identity at this point? It might save someone from making a huge mistake and getting mixed up with him.

No, I think not. Doesn't feel right. It's just a bookmark.
Besides we've all seen his pic, and there's no one reading here but us...
I'm sure no one here will be getting mixed up with him anytime soon.
It's kinda like my theory that we can't save the world by preaching to our little choir.
While it's disturbing to note that he has the DEA tipline in his bookmarks,
that doesn't mean "he's DEA", or he's reporting everyone.
I'm not really trying to defend him,
but we should ALWAYS consider other possibilities...
than just the hard-core scenario you imagine.
Who really knows, apparently there was no further evidence about that,
if he ever really used it or how often, maybe it was just once...
and it may have just been something he reserved
for certain people he really hated with a passion, like Gypsy.

I'm curious about the other guy they mentioned,
if he might be a master-coder we're all familiar with as well?
