they created a ruse in a library so that he looked away from his laptop
then an agent stole the laptop and another entered it illegally and ghosted his hard drive
if you did that, you'd be guilty of a slew of crimes. since it was teh police, and since drugs were involved, the law is irrelevant
yep

So is the Silk Road back up and running? "The Dread Pirate Roberts" as a nom de guerre seems to imply a title rather than a person.

Arresting Roberts just shed a light on the ability of DW and made it four times more popular.
I'm not saying that it is impossible to eliminate DW markets, it just seems that way to me...

read more They did nothing like that. It was much more elaborate and went on for years
It doesn't look like they did anything wrong to me

Are we all just ignoring the fact that he hired a hitman to kill one of his employees?

He was a POS and deserves whatever sentence he gets

Uhhh the only reason they knew who he was is because of illegal wire taps by the nsa and the nsa told the fbi about the package containing the fake ids.
God damn some of yalls willingness to juat give away rights amazes me.

Didn't he try to have someone killed? All in the name of access to drugs I guess.

Here is a short piece from the Economist giving the broad strokes of how he was captured.
At at the risk of siding with our Oppressive Fascist Overlords, it looks like it was pretty above board, arguments about how our rights have eroded versus the 19th century notwithstanding.

The only part that's a little shady (not detailed here but I remember reading it when he was first arrested) was that the Feds blocked him from touching his computer before they announced themselves so he couldn't encrypt it.
No stealing the computer, no "ghosting" the hard drive because when they arrested him, they had the unencrypted real deal.

please link me an article about wire taps I read that an undercover agent took over an admin's account. Probably bc the admin gave it up to get some leniency on drug charges
