We'll see a small crash.
Word on the street:

It looks like they sniffed him out by looking back at old Internet records (forum posts, IPs etc) from around the time of SRs appearance. The first person to ever advertise SR was DPR himself, and he used an email account attached to his natural born identity. No NSA or technical hack.
Some other site will replace it to fill the vacuum soon.

So it's not as elaborate as it seems to set up?

If this is true, I'm a little disappointed it took the feds this long.

This is why I don't buy the theory that you can just technology your way out of any problem. Technology won't change the fact that, inevitably, people frick up.

I recall telling you one of the vulnerabilities to the anonymous use of Bitcoins are the access and egress points of the Tor network. Well the feds hit a home run, and got them for one user. Identifying DPR is just the tip of the ice berg, and they will now have fixed points from which to track everything that hit the Silk Road server. The feds will be able to analyze traffic to and from the server for Silk Road, and hone in on every user they wish. This includes all of their Bitcoin transactions. I expect we will be reading about the feds seizing large numbers of Bitcoins from persons who were conducting illegal activities on the Silk Road.
When do you think the feds actually identified DPR, and how long have they been monitoring Silk Road and gathering usable information about the user of Silk Road? I'd be willing to bet is has been for more than one year. The NSA, and law enforcement agencies, will be busy for quite some time analyzing all of the information they will have gathered from the Silk Road server.
