Im fluent in swedish and after reading all of the articles on the subject i have concluded that the bust had probably nothing to do with Silk Road.

The mentions of silk road and online drug trafficking is phrased like "Our newspaper suspects" and "The journalist feel" and "What we can see". Thus the only connection to silk road is from the journalists and newspapers, not from the police.

Furthermore the articles dont mention the kind of suspicion they are under (dont know how it works internationally but we have several degrees of suspicion, if they were highly suspected i assume that the newspaper would type it out), and last but especially not least, no article have any mention at all of any product being seized by LE.

And as a regular SR-user myself i noticed that SweExpress (the vendor in question) stopped sending packages almost exactly one week before SR went down.

I find it VERY hard to believe that the FBI and DEA would put their entire operation at risk to bust one (relatively) small vendor in a small country in scandinavia.

Nah man, the most likely scenario is that they got busted normally, for possession or something else that led to a warrant.

So what do we have, as actual facts here?

Two men are arrested for suspicion of selling drugs. Thats it.

For now this story tells us nothing.
