Certain aspects of the Dark web and the money that changes hands for various things were dicussed and researched in the earlier threads, hence the knowledge here. Hope you weren't trying to imply something else.
Thanks tedtink. Have to admit, only had the stomach to skim through it however it's a very detailed analysis.To gain a better understanding, this article is V good for starters
"No matter how much the pedophile has, he never has enough; and he rarely throws anything away"
We must not forget that CB likely had an pathological "obsession" - This is why SO many images etc have been found and I'm sure there is lots more.

I think I was trying to apply logic to a situation that probably defies it
Yes, I think the actions over the USB sticks were quite telling in that regard. If he was concerned about them being found, he could easily have destroyed them. Instead, he buried them, meaning he'd rather take the risk they still might be found than letting go of them forever. Similarly, he showed a friend in the bar in 2017 a video of him raping someone on his phone. Meaning he either had it stored on his phone or stored somewhere on the web. These are traits of someone who sees the videos as trophies. There's every chance he kept other trophies too.
I think you are right
Maybe not, if he intended to sell it eventually.
So.... was he expecting evidence to be found that wasn’t discovered ?!Thanks, Jake
Translation for non-Chromers:
Just a few days ago, the suspect's lawyer had announced in the Maddie case that he would not apply for early release. Now the U-turn. Christian B. wants to get out of prison early.
Hanover / Kiel
The suspect in the case of the disappeared British Madeleine McCann has again made an application for early release . The Regional Court of Kiel is now responsible for this and no longer the Regional Court of Braunschweig as in the previous application that was withdrawn two days ago, the 43-year-old lawyer, Friedrich Fülscher , told dpa on Thursday. The suspect is currently serving a prison sentence for drug trafficking in Kiel . The liability is scheduled for January 7, 2021 - two thirds of this sentence was served on June 7 of this year.
The 43-year-old had previously said through his lawyer that he had lost confidence in the Braunschweig judiciary after he believed the local court had wrongly sentenced him to rape a 72-year-old American. However, after the Federal Court of Justice had declared the Braunschweig district court responsible for the release from prison , the suspect had withdrawn his application. As the lawyer explained, the regional court at the headquarters of the detention center in which the man is sitting is now responsible for the new application, that is Kiel.
He faces further punishment
In case of early release from prison, the suspect could despite the ongoing investigation against him in the case Maddie are released. Basically, he still has to serve his sentence in the event of rape. According to the Braunschweig judges, the man raped the 72-year-old in 2005 in Praia da Luz, Portugal , about a year and a half before Maddie's disappearance . However, the 43-year-old had appealed against the judgment pronounced in December 2019.
Yes, the swimsuits may not be connected to any crime at all. Maybe he had a fetish for girls swimsuits and just collected them, or maybe they were left behind by someone else.
If he’s guilty I just wonder whether given it’s suspected he committed previous similar crimes previously was he taken off guard with the intense worldwide attention of MM, hence his decision to go off grid? Seems white middle class British privilege does not always yield positive results despite good intentions, said as a white middle class person, no discrimination intended, just observation. The immediate intense media scrutiny this case attracted is unprecedented, it must certainly have been unexpected if CB did indeed have previous victims
as not to cause confusion. There’s soooo much we don’t know. I’m impressed. German LE are doing a great job. In UK every step would be known !
Was it the the ex-gf who actually said that though? I remember it was mentioned in a Mirror article about the british ex-gf but they didn't seem to attribute that particular comment to her, it was just inserted into the article with no context. Haven't seen the story repeated anywhere else.
So glad you joined us Super, you’re insight is a much needed bonus!
So maybe his other cellar worked out well for him?
