'I can't believe he was so stupid!"

Minor detail: while the city Grand Jury has indicted 48 alleged BGF members, only 35 of them are in custody.

Curtis "chronicpain" Green, a disabled grandpa from Utah, pleaded guilty to cocaine charges down in Greenbelt yesterday. Green was the Silk Road site administrator whose death was faked by the FBI to ensnare Ross "Dread Pirate Roberts" Ulbricht. Al Jazeera theorizes that Green was the one who brought down the whole organization when he used his real home address on a package of party powder. ("I can't believe he was so stupid!" Ulbricht groused to the undercover agent.) If you're following this case, here's a remarkably detailed timeline of events.

Speaking of the "cyberbiz" (oh BJ, you're so 'with it!'), remember that data breach where 12,000 Baltimore County employees had their personal information stolen? There's been another one, this time 6,600 employees had their bank account routing numbers stolen. "Baltimore County said last week that effective immediately, employees were no longer allowed to download personal information on their county hard drives." Hey there's an idea.

There's a story: Anthony Rackley, who escaped from a Maryland prison in July 1980, turned himself in in Oklahoma. Rackley was apparently being extorted by someone who was threatening to turn him in and decided "enough was enough."

Apparently while they were out of jail the OG BGF and Young BGFs held their meetings at Mund Park at E. 24th and Greenmount, where Batts and StephRB press conferenced yesterday.*
