Silk Road: anonymous marketplace. Feedback requested

I wonder why this forum wasn't been seized during Silk Road's case, I guess that case was big on that moment because sometimes few people still discuss about that.

This is not very surprising/interesting, but I thought I'd mention that I received a subpoena for information related to Ross Ulbricht's alleged forum account altoid. I mostly just compiled some publicly-available information. The only non-public data I had to include were some deleted posts in the heroin store topic that were not written by DPR and probably won't be useful in the case.

You might be surprised to learn that this is the first subpoena I've received for the forum.

I'm not really know about legal and laws, if there will be a time where the government doesn't like this forum, will they directly seized the forum and include theymos as a criminal/wanted or they will give a warning first?

If theymos censors Mixers, this is ONLY the beginning of further Censorship.

Why did you not close Bitcoin Talk every time China or any other country of the World has banned Bitcoin?

Below was the first censorship, it seems both theymos and Sirius are agree to not taking a big risk. Centralized mixer is always become a hot topic unlike Monero, CoinJoin etc, that's why I guess theymos still allow that.

It was removed.

Eliminating all bad PR and legal risks is a good idea - drug people can always go elsewhere. I'll remove the Silk Road thread if that's the consensus.

This forum follows US laws, so those countries e.g. China, Bangladesh etc that ban Bitcoin doesn't have any relation to US laws.

But if Bangladesh became best buddies with the USA 🇺🇸 and asked for enforcement aid it would happen.

Basically zero privacy is the governments of the world goal.

The reason for this is so called terrism and hacking theft.

The world is going in a weird space. Too bad this happened.
