FBI Says It's Busted The Web's Biggest Anonymous Drug Black Market

&gt; &quot;<i>You can&#x27;t resist the FBI. We will find you.</i>&quot;<p>At last the drug war has been won!<p>No similar site will ever be created and all the resources formerly spent fighting drugs will be returned to improving the lives of citizens.<p>This is as great a sign of success as when we victoriously proclaimed &quot;Mission Accomplished&quot; in Iraq, and as assuredly as we have had peace since then in Iraq, we can look forward to as peaceful and drug-free an existence as when we enjoyed the peaceful, law-abiding, alcohol-free times of Prohibition.<p>Resources well-spent. We can finally sleep well tonight under the FBI&#x27;s benevolent watch.

More like &quot;You can&#x27;t make much more than 80MM resisting the FBI while living a normal, above-ground life within the United States, unless you avoid associating your real name with your criminal-conspiracy-in-development on a public messageboard.&quot;

&quot;You can&#x27;t resist the FBI. We will find you.&quot;<p>Unless you are a Wall Street insider and then we will gladly help the SEC harass your detractors.<p>&quot;Constitution? What constitution?&quot;

We will find you. If you are high enough profile, and your crime happens to match the current set of prosecutorial priorities laid down by the administration, justice dept., etc., then we will find you. With reasonably high probability.<p>&gt; users migrate to other, smaller but similar anonymous black markets<p>Not only will they find you, the FBI has clearly put an end to the online drug trade.

Every single high-level FBI bust is always about the operator doing something really simple and dumb, then the FBI puffs its chest and acts all powerful.<p>Like that article about the guy trying to extort poker players. The FBI agent admits she always wanted to be like they were on the TV show &quot;CHiPS&quot; and how they&#x27;ve got the hardest cybersquad available and will break you so better just &#x27;fess up. In reality? Guy logged into his Gmail account from his house, and proceeded to blackmail via email. I mean, come on. Asking Google for an IP is now badass? Yet from the reading, hoo boy do they like busting down doors with guns out as if it was some criminal overload&#x27;s lair.<p><a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/04/how-the-fbi-cracked-a-sextortion-plot-against-pro-poker-players/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;tech-policy&#x2F;2013&#x2F;04&#x2F;how-the-fbi-crack...</a>

It&#x27;s one of my shortcomings that I just cannot get into the mindset of an FBI agent who is happy about this. How do you keep wanting to go to work and investigating this kind of thing?

Weird that the title includes a quote that isn&#x27;t actually contained in the article.

TL;DR &quot;Basically he made a simple mistake and we were able to find him.&quot;<p>I wonder what it was...

It seems to me that the conversation out there is looking more and more like the nerds (tech folks) vs. the jocks (FBI) all over again.<p>When will you learn that the nerds win in the end, jocks? :)

El Chapo to the FBI: &quot;No you won&#x27;t.&quot;<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaqu%C3%ADn_Guzm%C3%A1n_Loera" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Joaqu%C3%ADn_Guzm%C3%A1n_Loera</a>

Hmm, it makes you wonder if NSA help and parallel construction are in play here.

That&#x27;s not ominous at all.

Of course the FBI have to be chauvinistic about it.

Resistance is futile.

&gt; &quot;You can&#x27;t resist the FBI. We will find you.&quot;<p>I thought it was &quot;If your number is up, we will find you.&quot;<p>The documentary: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOnQ8CD3v4g" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=WOnQ8CD3v4g</a>

Insider trading is legal for politicians and the fat cats, but if you dare do it, FBI is onto you.
