For some reason I can't reply to ikeboy directly. Is there a nesting limit for comments on HN?

Anywho, you can do the search that got him caught yourself.

The relevant result is now #2, but used to be #1 (http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-google-search-that-took...)

He had deleted the original comment, but someone had replied and copied the text. He subsequently posted an ad for job postings with the same username and his personal email address (I think [e-mail]).

Basically, he was about as sloppy as it gets if you're running a criminal drug enterprise. Also, his confidant, Variety Jones/Cimon, hinted that he had done some research on Ulbricht and found some stuff. He was absurdly cocky about evading law enforcement. Makes you wonder if he has some kind of psychological disorder.

HN has a timed limiter for nested replies that grows in length depending on nested depth, mainly to stop flame wars. You have to wait a few minutes or take the hint that the thread is getting too deep.

Not true, you can reply immediately at the direct link to a comment.
