It will be shutdown by the U.S. government eventually and there is little we can do about it.Everyone knows it's being looked into. When the U.S. government "looks into" something 99% of the time it ends bad. They shut down the farmers market a much more shitty version of SR and that was an over 2 years investigation.Do I think they guy going and buying a quarter of bud is going to have his door kicked in anytime soon? No, but there is no way DPR god bless his soul is running this place alone. At least a handful of people are helping him and it only takes one ex girlfriend or one do right brother ect. to make the whole thing go under.Anyways, whats your estimate especially with the growing popularity only more and more attention will fall on it. It won't be long before we see CBS reporting about this "guy who overdosed on whatever bought from the mysterious underground website SR run by the most dangerous criminals" ect. Those who have been around the block a few times knows how this shit goes.Your are entirely misinformed regarding all of the above.Suggestion: do some research on how and why The Farmer's Market was brought down, and the differences between that site and Silk Road. I'm also going to hazard a guess that you're American as you seem to have a very America-centric view on things. ::)- grahamgreene
