This is the last chapter of this post touching on the inevitable fuck up and what to do after. We are all human, which means sooner or later you will make a mistake. Will it be the end of you? It depends, but the main thing is knowing how to clean up your own mess.
Here is a recurring example of fuck up and how you may proceed afterward, but keep in mind this is speculated situation and you must know I can’t predict every possible outcome.
- Controlled Delivery – This is the situation when law enforcement seizes your order, but allows the post to go ahead with delivering your parcel in order to catch you in the act. Usually, to try and force you to flip. There are usually two outcomes to such a situation if you have a couple of orders under your belt, it’s taking suspiciously long for the parcel to be delivered and it was stationed for days at the same place.
You can either not know, sign for the package, and get busted within seconds. Or you can deny receiving the package in which case they have nothing. Now, if you think it’s a controlled delivery the best course of action is to remove any evidence of such activity from your devices and your home. Because you can be certain that address is burnt and so are you.
What do I mean by purging evidence? Good old data shredders are always the way to go, but if you had some critical information that must never fall into enemy hands, the best course of action is always getting rid of the SSD/HDD in question. First, shred the data (recommended is at least 7 passes), then shred the disk. Usually, burning it crisp will do the job. It’s always best to destroy the device so nobody can do forensics and dig up the data. Because no new shiny device (laptop, computer, HDD, SSD, etc.) is worth more than your freedom.
The point being if something feels wrong it’s because it probably is! Be vigilant, don’t order to your home address, play the game don’t let the game play you.
