Anyone has insight as to how this happened?
What was this site like? I had never heard about it

It seemed more like a bunch of guys set up the service to sell their product

The idiots left a gigantic paper trail for the feds by accepting paypal, western union and cash. That's how they were caught.

Thats true. Bitcoin gives silkroad a chance from not being shutdown. But what if youve ordered from them before but a really long time ago. Should i be worrying about any legal action coming my way? i doubt it. they prolly just focus on the sellers.
