Creating a Website Where People Can Buy Drugs
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas, USA
So Im planning on creating a vbulletin forum website just like this one.
The problem is that it will be dealing with controlled pharmacuitacle drugs and I will be charging drug vendors (both licensed and underground) some money for their advertisement space on my forum.
Heres my case materials:
1. the vbulletin software is purchased legally in US using international card.
2. The website and the domain are hosted 100% outside of US jurisdiction and UN. (offshore hosting)
3. I will be receiving money with bitcoins.
My main question is this.
Will I be charged with anything??
Obviously I will set rules on my forum like all purchase are 100% between user and the vendor who bought advertisement space, I cant moderate entire forum, it is users responsibilities with drugs and other stuff yada yada.
All the money I will receive is straightly from people who purchase my advertisement space to sell their drugs on my website, and nothing else. I wont be selling anything physical.
I dont want to be charged with drug trafficking when I didnt touch a single drugs or moeny launderings.
I know this question seems shady, but try to answer honestly.

Ulbricht, creator of silkroad hired hitman and physically dealt drugs, not sold advertisement space.
Anyways, does that mean no? lol I just want to know if it can cause problems.

We're not psychics. Could your operations break U.S. laws? Yes, depending on what you actually do. As you will be operating in at least one other nation, you need to learn the laws of that nation as well.

Site will be hosted in Panama of Caribean, where everything is legal which is illegal in US/UN :friendly_wink:
Like I said, all I will be doing is just let random people buy the advertising space and nothing more. I wont touch anything else. Just wanted to know if it was against law in US
Re: Creating a Drug Website
You are treading on extremely shaky ground.
If you insist on following your plan, see an attorney before you do it - otherwise you may be needing a defense attorney afterwards.

So were you going to accept the bit coins trading at $1200, $800, $600 or $100? All have been recent prices.

Just did :)) The attorney said and agreed with me that since all the data and files are located outside of my country, it shouldnt matter.
I decided to not do it anyway lol
Thanks for insight anyway

No attorney told you that. Besides, the Silk Road case was not about drugs and hitmen, it was about unlicensed money transmitting business and conspiracy to money launder.
