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.
If you really think the fact they managed to catch him means *anything* at all to the movement as a whole, then you are clueless.
I'm just amazed it took them a whole 12 months.
It's a good thing, at least they're weeding out the amateurs.
Wow incredible to think you would run such a site and be so careless. And to run it from the US too is just comical. Eventually the drug-cartel/gangs will set-up shop and amateur hour will be over. Selling wholesale product at street level prices with limited risk = no brainer.
