besides lampchop, if you really think that they beat anyone, that they really damaged the darknet movement at all by taking out some ass hat who no one took seriously for the past year.
A guy who loudly beat his chest about "having the best OPSEC in history" whilst posting pics of pigs in San Francisco on his instagram and tweeting about silkroad, who handed the KEYS to his admin panel to an FBI agent, who posted screenshots of his bitcoin balance and cashed out his bitcoins via coinbase in his real name whilst renting the server with his
[email protected] email address, then you are retarded.

I never claimed that Bitcoiners were particularly bright. SR1 failed due to DPR's braggadocio and mistakes. SR2 failed due to more of the same, but lulzier. Happens in real wars too, you get progressively shittier generals as the good ones get owned.
As far as thinning the heard being a good thing? Well, at least the wolves sure have no cause for complaint. According to the
Coindesk article:
At least 400 dark net web domains have been reported seized and 17 individuals individuals arrested in connection with Operation Onymous, an ongoing global cybercrime crackdown.
So it appears that your asshat friend wasn't the only assclown in teh "darknet movement." [*stifled giggles*]

Wow they spent a year and managed to arrest 17 out of the hundreds of thousands, and they've already admitted 400 domains weren't seized, it was more like 50. Which is likely due to them taking down one host in Bulgaria.
So they didn't touch Tor, they didn't touch the big sites, they took out one idiot who handed them the keys and when they found out where his server was located they looked at all the other servers in the same room and found out some host in bulgaria was making it easy for .onion administrators so they shut down all his servers.
Not quite such an impressive headline for the FBI though, is it
