. Well the feds hit a home run,
I guess, kinda.. But I don't think all that you think was compromised, was actually compromised.
SR never had a record of the sellers (names, addresses). a few may get popped if they have incriminating evidence in their SR inbox, but most will be able to move their biz to BMR and continue with just a small hiccup in their life.
Buyers had more risk
in this business model than sellers, and the reputable sellers were beasts from what I hear. "Beasts" in that their usernames are like brand names in the underground market. Just using their usernames on whatever new market they choose will bring their legions of buyers back to them.

Humans being creatures of habit will use habitual routines for conducting transactions, and law enforcement has sophisticated tools and methods for identifying patterns that will narrow their searches. I expect there will be numerous arrests of Silk Road vendors and Bitcoin owners in the coming months.
