Also, the recent seizure of underground markets, primarily Silk Road 2, and the arrest of several vendors using those markets, should increase adoption with anonymity coins i.e Monero.

I'd hope so .. but what overall led to the markets getting their servers seized?

Were there any explicit details on how information was compromised?

Remember this is not only about how they are seized, but also what happens after that:
Expect the transactions to/from seized wallets to be heavily used to prove charges.

Bye bye plausible deniability, hello complete knowledge of your bitcoin activity. Knock knock for some of your buddies.
It's sad that the false sense of opacity and fungibility in bitcoin is learned the hard way for many, but at least it will be learn.
