They think they made users paranoid of all onions but we already were. People ran to hansa bc it was the only honest market left, now we got a bunch of noobie markets that are probably shitting themself and guessing how many $$$$ they want to hit before their run off with everyones money.

Looking back at the subreddit for the last couple of weeks, I can picture LE sitting back on their chairs with a bucket of popcorn and laughing at us.

They still don't say how they knew where Hansa was, they make it seem like they were just sitting on it at first deciding what to do. It looks like tor has some major holes to be discovered.
