Do we have any idea if there was anyone connected to all the markets that have been seized?

It seems SR1 and SR2 both were infiltrated by an unknown operative. Any thoughts on who behind the scenes may have had common contact with all the seized markets? Someone who is respected is not what they seem, but Who?

Probably bad OPSEC. LEO spent 6 months at it with limitless funds, They kind of grabbed the low hanging fruit. Running a market is serious business especially in the US. I think all the markets taken down must have either been infiltrated 'hey, Im ad admin at SR2 lets party' or they just tracked them down from leaking server details. If my site is monitoring them (dnstats) imagine what LEO are doing.

all the seized markets were "found" because of DDoS spikes (speculation) once they found 1 market (SR2) on a certain companys server, they started to DDoS other sites, wait for a spike and check it out. found a few other market places using the same server hosting company) because only a few company's accept payment in bitcoin.... that would be my bet... it is not due to 1 LE agent somehow infiltrating every market (although 1 was given admin privileges inside SR2 lol) makes me look back at DR. clu's message when he left and think either it was him or he knew something was up... not sure what tho.
