Sequitur to a recent NEWSREP article detailing the deep, dark web is this event relative to the potential danger of a presence in the dark web, where the propensity for misconduct can spike.

Politically prominent Jeremy Ryan vied and failed twice to gain the Republican nomination for House Speaker Paul Ryan’s position in Washington. The somewhat eccentric Ryan appears in the feature image in his typical fashion: sporting unruly whiskers, sloppy dress, and capped with a straw fedora.

To further coax the odd image he is known for, he could be seen meandering Washington aboard a Segway vehicle during momentous events. For his profile, he was awarded the epithet “Segway Jeremy”.


Tourists profit from the use of Segway vehicles in their travels; remember these?

Thirty-year-old Jeremy Ryan was recently arrested for his participation in an FBI sting operation involving an agent posing on a dark website selling various illicit substances which included a yet unnamed radioactive substance.

The dark web can be described as an “underground” network that resides apart from the global Internet that most citizens and consumers today know. Largely unregulated, it is a haven for boundless illicit and immoral activities. While termed as needing special software to access the dark web, it should be noted that the “special software” is also very readily available on the Internet proper.

Communication between the FBI’s dark web mole and Jeremy revealed that Ryan’s intent was to purchase and use the radioactive substance to murder an unnamed adversary. His aim was to secure a substance that was rare enough to render effects to his victim that would not be readily identified during a post-mortem autopsy.

Jeremy Ryan paid a Bitcoin equivalent of ~$500.00 for his deadly radioactive source.
