Rosenberg (DEA Admin): "The so-called anonymity of the darkweb is illusory. We will find+prosecute drug traffickers who set up shop there. This case is a great example of our commitment to doing exactly that."

So it seems like they're saying they aren't going after buyers, only vendors.

I have it on good authority that the DEA was part of the wide-scale darknet sweep conducted by law enforcement. The moderators there are feds now. The best thing we could all do is probably stop using darknet markets. Why risk our freedom like this for some money?
