I feel for the guy.

Like HSBC, he should just be given the option of paying a $250 million dollar fine for the building of schools and roads and then let free.

The bankers will be against any such idea.

Doubtful.
And still, just use vendors recommended by others and PGP!

Recommended by other FBI agents, and PGP that FBI agents provide or substitute their own public keys for?

The server(s) were physically seized, so totalitarians could easily take over SR operations and change anything about it to tyranny's advantage.

You just need to trust the vendor. That's how PGP works.
And the FBI will hardly sell you drugs... they are not a dealer and not after small consumers.

PGP doesn't work if you blindly trust keys stored/sent on a website that a malicious third-party controls. PGP only works if you physically meet your counterparty and trust circle members and obtain their key fingerprints directly from them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party

The FBI/DEA/WTF will sell whatever they need to to whomever they need to, to perpetuate the war on victimless civil liberties through persecution of same.

Seriously, how can you be this ignorant of lawless enforcement tactics and still be on the internet?
PGP key signing is quite broken from a usability standpoint, ever since it's been introduced.

If someone has the time and inclination, here's how to fix it: http://bitcoinism.blogspot.com/2013/09/building-pgp-web-of-trust-that-people.html

Not if they changed the key the instant the vendor put it in, intercepted and replied to all their private messages, and showed only the vendor a profile page with their correct key.

Indeed, haha.
People should encourage the vendors to send out a printed fingerprint of their key together with the product. "A hash with the hash"  Grin

Obama should hand him a medal as appreciation for the big hit he did against the drug cartels and getting all the violence off the streets...

Or give him presidential gold cufflinks:

If LE changed the key, the vendor couldn't decrypt your message any more.

And neither the FBI nor the DEA will set up a "honey pot" to catch individual end-consumers.

They already did that with Silk Road 1.0. Find end-consumers, charge them with every victimless crime in the book.

As long as users use PGP it doesn't matter if the DEA runs the site or just registers as a vendor...

exactly only some people don't use pgp , to difficult , those are stupid them self.
A honny pot is not very useful  here , you dont know anything as long users use tor , and a system as tails , if you use windows or worse your iphone your bound to get injected with a fbi certified exploit , so its all about stupidnes here...

Shortly after the arrest he actually used a public defender, I sure hope he has a better lawyer now.
