I find it ironic how they didn't mention how they caught the man behind this or how they busted it period... point is, it was ran, started, managed, controlled, and operated by the government since 2011. We're in an age of DRUG WARFARE and pushing drugs to every possible person is the easiest way to take out societies

I was reading on Reddit that the feds had access to the servers since mid-2012 I don't know the site or how it works but if thats the case i'm sure they have pinned a lot of people already.

The owner using stackoverflow was a bit careless.

Im pretty sure there are more websites on the onion just like silk road, while silk road is a majority of the trading i don't think the FBI is getting anywhere since people will just look elsewhere.

you are correct there will be other sites like slikroad but smaller but the point is that they must have known about it for years . What made them decide to stop it now rather then ealier?
