You not reckon that could have been a police operation? Silk Road went down when Atlantis went UP, loads of dealers went over there, then they suddenly have some inside information that shits about to hit the fan, close Atlantis. Then SR gets busted?? Hmm

Could be. All I'm really concerned about is my own supply though, don't really care if they were cops or not, or how SR got busted, all I care about is where my weed is going to come from 
Cunts round here sell garbage.

(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.

There are quite a few other sites, only big one still running is *snip no vendors*... but looking at things I think a lot of people are going to fuck off TOR now for a while, be good to see exactly how he got caught though.. ie was it Online or offline, money laundering etc related...

The guys arrest is real. If the site closure is real then it wont be long before another one emerges. Although there probably already is another one, that just isnt as widely known, and everythning and everyone will just move to the new site. With a market and demand this big, it wont just disappear this easily. (I hope.)

True man. I don't think I'll be fucking about with that site just now, too much chance of placing an order right before it also gets fucked.
Wish I'd kept some info on my regular weed man. Pretty sure he had an email address to use if SR was down but I never bothered my arse to get it. Shitter. Ah well. I'm gonna go get a dooby

seized by who ?
How can that be done ?
Its often impossible to log onto it. Wont they just move the URL or something.
It needs someone with more technical knowledge on the way it works, like Knock might know.
I'm not sure about the Onion stuff, it might be different, but in the "normal" web there several ways to do this.
One method requires the co-operation of whoever operates the name server for the domain. Domain names, e.g. www.bluelight.ru, are converted to IP addresses, e.g. 93.189.134.5, before a site can be accessed (name resolution). A name server performs name resolution - when you type www.bluelight.ru your computer makes a DNS (Domain Name System) request to a name server first to get the IP address, then sends the web browsing (HTTP) request to the bluelight server using the IP address. The operator of the name server can map the name to a different IP address, like one that the FBI owns, which would then serve the page you're seeing instead of the proper site.
A bit like getting BT to change someone's entry in the phone book.
They could also locate the server physically, unplug and plug their own one in :D More legwork involved though.
If they've done it with a DNS change then yes, the site owner can just use a different name but they have to get that name out to people somehow. But whatever the FBI do, short of putting the site owners in custody, the site can be put back one way or another.
Is this thread even allowed though :D
edit: fucking ninjad; so they used the "lock them up" method (although just locking them up won't take the site down, of course, they'd still have to do something like I've said above). Yeah, not much they can do about that! Guess the thread is OK too then
well most of it, I'm going to be editing some posts...

tor is shocking, when I went on the aforementioned site even through tor, a simple "location" search came up with the country I was in and not where tor said I was, also whenever I use tor, this pc slows and whirrs like its trying to cool itself down as it's very hot!
Also if you use the same machine and search through google with and without tor, the results you get with tor clearly show an interaction between non tor and tor, I have not thought tor was safe for a long time, I had been using it since 2006 but a few years ago I decided it was not safe at all.
I think the joke is a mobile phone is actually safer than using a computer these days! If you are doing something naughty anyway!

lol indeed. It takes weeks of studying to find someone genuine there. Most of the shills are so blatant. Ive not looked at that site for over 12 months due to the roughly 98 % scammers vs 2 % genuine guys.

There is a "backup" file on the forums of ALL vendors incase SR goes down, meh. Fuck it, the forums still up and running. Thing is all these vendors now are just going to start there own little website up (there are hundreds of them), there is still this huge customer base. Things will just shift, now someone can see they can turnover the amount he did...

Should any of us be concerned about a 'knock at the door'? And not the post-man to deliver your late but paid for drugs, or police to return your unused bitcoins.

This.
When I first learned about the wonder world of the "Deep web" I was on it alot & came across stuff that everyone will be aware of but speaking to a friend he told me that nothing is 100% secure.
Whatever code etc a person has done, there is someone else that can break it.
I can see Knock's Sig getting clicked on alot more now

Thanks for the great techy detail. So given that the site owner is now in custody, the site may not be put back. But surely the owner has underlings and right hand men and all that though.

the FBI can't stop everyone in the world setting up a web site, so I suppose as long as there is someone to do the job who's not got the FBI on their back then the job can be done. But if they've got administrative control of the name, then it wouldn't be the same site. Might end up being velvet avenue or one of the aliases people have been using :D What's in a name? I don't actually know, what is in a name?
