It seems you have no idea how the owner was apprehended. He wasn't traced through tor or bitcoin, he was caught because he entirely failed at keeping himself anonymous. He asked for help setting up Silk Road on a public forum then gave them his real life email (rossulbricht@gmail.com) to contact him. What a loving handicap. I honestly can't believe they didn't catch him sooner, what a loving dumbass.
seems my point is still very valid. I mean all the dark web sites are getting busted over time here.
no matter how safe tor could be, that's isn't the makeup of a persons internet use or computer use. agencies will find them all.
there is no way to hide on the internet.
my I told you so's are regarding bit coins not being around very long. and becoming more and more useless.
and how you are not anonymous on the internet. no matter what tricks you try.
