Re: FBI shuts down Silk Road
I used that once to buy bit coins, just as I was curious about the whole thing. It seemed mainly to be a site for dealing drugs in my experience. Like a fast food delivery service.
Anyhow that combined with using a TOR browser (another chap who was arrested recently), and being based in Yemen probably means I am under NSA surveillance.
Over the last few years it seems that governments are really making some big efforts to control the internet.

I cant believe he has a linkedin profile. Clearly the ONE mistake he made that they picked up on. Used it before, it was a good service on 7 occasions out of 8. Its a real shame. Cut out the scum element and having to deal with idiots.
