Remember after Silk Road, everyone just thought Ross made a bunch of mistakes(Which he did) and that's what got him caught(Which it is) so the major thinking was, "Let me just not do what he did and I can get away with it!" and some markets did. They ended up taking everyone's coins and getting out of there.
This year has proven something different though; LE is done fucking around.
After watching Alphabay and Hansa admins get busted and over-taken by LE, probably scared a lot of people away from building a market. I think one dude ended up killing himself because he knew he was fucked.
Getting caught controlling a market is a high risk now and getting caught means you are spending the rest of your entire life locked in a cage.
Think about that for a second. Getting caught running a market means you will NEVER have freedom again. You will never have a girlfriend, you will never play Xbox, you will never browse Reddit, you will never go out to a sports game with your buddies, you will never go to another party...you will lose everything that makes you human...
The DN aren't hidden anymore and LE is really fucking hungry for busting them.
Stand for something or Fall for anything. Some people are willing to risk everything to make world a better place... Galileo, MLK, Mandela, Ross Ulbricht, etc..
or spend the rest of your life playing xbox, i'm sure thats fulfilling.
