pretty obvious TOR has a vulnerability that is being actively exploited - I suppose it's just about possible that freedom hosting was coincidentally found and then every other TOR site was screwed from TORMAIL... but I doubt it.
Wonder if the blackmailer was the prick behind freedom hosting. It's not as if he was a nice guy.
I have some unencrypted stuff on silk road but I have already had the joy of being convicted for it so I hope they waste many hours investigating me

As for putting a hit on someone, obviously it's not something that most of us could ever justify. But I can see how an idealist could. One prick blackmailer dead versus the many deaths and thousnads of ruined lives that would be an
inevitable consequence of a massive silk road leak.
Remember the reason drug dealers (some of them) are so violent is ultimately because they cannot go to the police. It is a direct consequence of the state sponsored war on drugs and the blood is on the politicians' hands.
Blackmailer = Assassain.
They found no proof that anyone was murdered, as the assassain stated. Assassain and blackmailer, one and the same. Only reason the blackmailer stopped blackmailing after payment received. Obvious scam against DPR is obvious
