cryptohippie was run by agorists before silk road was however I don't particularly vouch for them, you should do the vps thing I mentioned before I never would suggest people use a VPN instead of Tor and even if one is required in addition to Tor I would suggest looking into VPS instead but cryptohippie does have a reputation for being agorist that pre-dates SR, and they do have some pretty clever people on their team, but I would avoid it regardless trusting VPN providers is historically bad , getting suggestions for VPN on a forum that is illegal is historically likely to get you set up with fedvpn etc etc in summary, I don't think cryptohippie would cooperate with law enforcement any more than they could be forced to by law, and I think they keep as little logs as the least logging VPN companies keep, but I think that their providers would cooperate with LE in a heart beat and I don't think that there is shit that cryptohippie can do about it. I think it would be fair to compare cryptohippie to jondonym. jondonym operators are under contact to not keep logs unless they are presented with a valid court order. However, immediately upon being given a valid court order they will begin to log your traffic. When it comes to resisting valid court order, I think you are only going to fin much luck if you you go with russian mafia etc, providers that have ongoing relationships with their corrupt governments.
