Hard to feel sorry for him once he decided to have "employees" killed.
Not exactly in keeping with the "don't harm others" manifesto.

Never tried it, but I thought SilkRoad was good because vendors were rated based upon purity of the drugs they supplied. So by removing this route, addicts go back to ingesting impure, mystery substances again. Which is what causes the majority of damage to drug users as we all know (don't we ?). So some can cheer about this, others will sigh and see it as another hopeless screw up in the war against people, which is done in our best interests apparently.

I can't really comment on the efficacy of the site but you make a valid point.
Unfortunately he seemed to go the way of prototypical kingpin in the end.

no but applauding him is ridiculous
sorry but I don't and never will agree with the whole, "oh it's pure so it's fine" bollocks. Although I don't have anything against drugs, creating a whole network that could deal with that in secrecy amongst many other things, including firearms, isn't good.

This is clearly just propaganda by the FBI. The market place was relatively harmless, it didn't sell guns or child porn. Unlike buying drugs on the street, because the dealers were operating with anonymity there wasn't anywhere near the extent of criminality that came with it.

That's just harmless fun.
Anyway, killing is only bad if tories or americans do it.

A new Silk Road
popped up two months after the original was taken down, as far as I know it's still going strong. There are also lots of similar sites available.

Oh, 4 more sites to take the place, with the same sellers, selling the same things, at the same prices...

Do you think that TOR
is that secure then? I've already seen articles on how it's easy to gain IP addresses from nodes. They will be taken down with the same amount of effort as a site *not* on the dark web. Obviously a site selling drugs won't last long, especially as most people who use the site will be douchebags telling their mates about it in public.
