Feds Say They've Arrested 'Dread Pirate Roberts,' Shut Down His Black Market 'The Silk Road'
--- End quote ---
Very disappointed...Why can't they just mind their own business and leave people alone. Sheesh...
Maybe Atlantis will fire up again. I hope this isn't the end. More black markets is a good thing.
What I just don't get is why he would stay in the USA. That just seems crazy to me. It's not like he couldn't have moved to somewhere safer.

Things to note:
The 29-year-old University of Texas graduate had first created a trail for himself, however, by asking for help working with Tor dark web tactics on coding site StackOverflow.com, the complaint says. His original question appears to remain on the site here.-The Article

I saw that. It's spooky. And for both meanings of the word.
It was an interesting question though. My first thought was about just how easy it would be for PHP to run shell scripts kind of like how you'd do a System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(program) in C#. (I think that's the namespace...)
40hz:
Popehat has yet another good write-up on the Federal indictment & complaint that was filed. Read it here.
Worth the read. Learned a few things about how something like this works. For instance, I didn't realize there are actually two separate mechanisms that can be used to charge somebody with a crime under US federal law. Never knew that a 'criminal complaint' and an 'indictment' are two completely separate things. Either one of wihch can land you in court.
Most interesting...
rgdot:
If the part of the indictment that he was actually involved in it and not just a 'platform provider' is true then of course it has be shut down. The whole issue of NSA snooping being bad is because normal, legal and fair things are being infringed upon, if we are going to get mad that a site used for various long illegal activities is shut down we are going way too far.
(Before accusing me of things remember I am using IF here)
