One early example of how quickly things could turn sour in post-Silk Road era was Sheep Marketplace, which began operating quietly in March of 2013. After Silk Road was shut down, users flocked to the site.

heh

People got too comfortable. They weren't getting caught so they thought they were safe and started getting too lax with OPSEC and covering all their bases and not being diligent at all times because it became too tedious.
Hopefully the lesson learned is one can never be too carefull or let their guard down for a minute. The hard truth of the matter is that any one of the markets could get siezed at any point

I’m traveling on roads paved by history makers.

Call us what you will. Leaders. Criminals. The line is blurred under anonymity, knowledge, and the ignition of revolution. Thousands of parcels and packages have blazed trails through land, sea, and air all over the world. Each one playing its role in the bigger picture.

We won’t stop.

Hitler said the SR gods had tin foil hats. But for some reason it became of it that he was only a java hut owner with 4 younger wives. Fuck HIM!!
