In case anyone hasn't seen the Reddit post buyers are getting rounded up in the fallout too according to this poster who says he just got out of jail after being taken in:

Attention!!!! I just made bail as a BUYER :( (self.SilkRoad)
I don't know if this only pertains to me, but I thought I should let everyone know what I'm experiencing so you know what's potentially coming.
I was arrested by FBI and local police for attempt to purchase and possession of narcotics on Tuesday and just had bail posted this morning. I only ever made purchases on SilkRoad and never sold. I always encrypted my stuff, but they busted a vendor I bought from apparently and that individual kept the post-decryption plaintext on his hard drive =/. They've got like a month's worth of correspondence and package watching on my address. Unfortunately, I still had some of the product (felony quantity) so that's where the possession charge comes from.
Again, I don't know if this is an isolated incident, but I figured I should post it to let others know and spread the information. This whole thing is turning into a cluster fuck. I'm unfortunately screwed because I'm in the medical field and likely can't avoid these charges. I'm in WA state in case anyone is wondering.
Edit: I bought from a couple vendors in WA state, one of which was Nod. They mentioned multiple vendors though, so I don't know exactly who was storing unencrypted info. I'll have more information tomorrow morning, it's kind of been a blur for me dealing with the whole process.

It seems they pursued him because the seller compromised the security of his customers by keeping a copy of their addresses, but some bitch ass seller could have done that to you ... you have no way of knowing. It could be just a follow up of the Nod bust, but this is the first indication buyer busts are going on too.

It just seems extremely stupid to just continue to buy and sell as if nothing happened right now. If you bought or sold within the last month AT LEAST it'd be wise to stay off the grid for awhile.
