Wouldn't it be possible to open another "GLBSE" as a hidden Tor Service, like SR?
I was always wondering why they didn't do that.......
Concerning the Topic: I think nefario forgot one very important thing "Plausible deniability"
I mean, he must have been aware of the fact that this is a legal grey zone, and no one takes such a risk without remaining anonymous or taking precautions like living/hosting on some caribbean island with low/almost no goverment control?
