      Why do you say indictment relies on unnamed co-conspirator?

      Yes (tho wasn't for a brief period). Govt has SPECIFICALLY said Hutchins is only one who has appeared.

      Also that's not the way govt handles unnamed informants.

      so you're saying that the person they blanked out in the indictment didn't provide evidence to the govt? Seems highly unlikely.

      Yup. Curious what Nick relies on to support his 2013 claim, given that that's only thing that would have happened while Hutchins > 18.

          A good WI theory that is so basic it kills me people still ask this: That FBI guy is still there. Venue of purchase = venue of prosecution.

          Unless you've got an explanation for why Alexandre Cazes indicted in Fresno not related to a bunch of AlphaBay purchases there?

          Well, let me help you out on Fresno then. It factors bc that's where they had a bunch of AB purchases. That's all you need.

          That's the limit of explanation you need in US venue. One big issue here will be demonstrating victims.
