Not much info but the SR address has been replaced with an FBI take down notice.

(Reuters) - U.S. law enforcement authorities raided an Internet site that served as a marketplace for illegal drugs, including heroin and cocaine, and arrested its owner, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Wednesday.

The FBI arrested Ross William Ulbricht, known as "Dread Pirate Roberts," in San Francisco on Tuesday, according to court filings. Federal prosecutors charged Ulbricht with one count each of narcotics trafficking conspiracy, computer hacking conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, according to a court filing.

Could be a joke though, a sick one.
 
yeah, why did it take so long for this to happen, if its not a "joke" by some hacker playing pranks.,

I dont think a real FBI notice would have all those fuckin stamps and seals on it. It would just be a one or 2 line statement to the effect of the site has been closed down. Ive seen vendors whove been done under the trade descriptions act closed down, this looks OTT, not genuine. Bullshit, in other words.
 
Well, fuck. Just placed an order too.

Though the pic hardly looks genuine..
 
^Same.
BL did something similar on April 1st. I dont think users of SR would find it so amusing somehow, given people have money involved and such. I'd imagine its more likely (if not genuine) its a competetor/hacker.
 
I knew it would happen, I said the other day I saw posts on this terrible American rave page talking about "Molly" & if the site was real etc.
Been all over the news for months & in the press.
When you think the NSA spent over $2 billion last year to break code it aint a shock to me really, it was only a matter of time.

I'll stick to old skool ways to score myself, 60p in a Phonebox & meet on a street corner.

This.
 
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuckkk

EDIT -

Looks more like a joke to me, dont usually have that SR logo in the background of seizures,, hacker maybe? Wouldnt the site just not load? Also after all the press surely the police would be all over this waving there dicks about?

Hmm Department of Justice saying they have arrested DPR according to a guy from The Guardian?

This, or a shittie joke

Highlight the image and yo ucan see the SR watermark, would feds be this childish? Big security problems either way if this aint a joke though
 
3.6m ,, wow, a lot of potential dealing operations are about to go batshit paranoid, plus alot of lost money... Wonder how they found out.

It was only last week DPR posted he had though about quitting a few times, also what did the owner of Atlantis know... they shut down a few days ago. Were they possible Law Enforcement??

Sure this is fake. Probably someone broke into the site. I've seen multiple sites that have had their servers seized and I don't remember site logos ever being in the background.
 
Ooft, bad times. I was literally just saying to someone at the weekend (due to the existence of SR) "Drugs might as well be legal now, you can buy anything you like just like ordering a book from Amazon". Might have spoke too soon :|

If it's fake then where have the "FBI arrested *some dude*" reports came from?
 
Those cunts doing a runner (Atlantis) knew this was about to happen. Read it yesterday and pooh-pooh'd it. Looks like it was right.
