I find it funny how everyone is making a big deal over this SSBD information. Are you all that fucking stupid, or just like being cock riding fan boys? THE FEDS HAVE ARRESTED HIM! Believe me, they already fucking know, obviously they know more than you or I or we would all be still sitting on SR1. I swear this "community" are all fucking morons in times like this.

The Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment Friday against
Andrew Michael Jones, Peter Phillip Nash and Gary Davis, accusing them of
participating in the Silk Road's conspiracy to traffic in narcotics, as
well as computer hacking and money laundering. According to prosecutors,
Jones and Davis worked as site administrators for Silk Road's booming
Bitcoin-based online drug business, tasked with duties like "responding to
customer service inquiries and resolving disputes between buyers and
sellers."
Nash is accused of working as the Silk Road's "primary moderator" for its
user forums. All three were allegedly paid between $50,000 and $75,000 a
year by the Dread Pirate Roberts, Silk Road's pseudonymous owner, according
to the indictment. It also cites weekly reports sent to Roberts by each of
the three employees as evidence against them.

At least two of the three defendants named in Friday's indictment, Davis
and Jones, have also allegedly worked as moderators on the user forums of
Silk Road 2.0, the newer version of the drug market site launched just a
month after the original Silk Road's takedown, using the handles "Libertas"
and "Inigo," respectively. In communications on the Silk Road's forums,
Libertas has also claimed to have full control over the user forums of the
original Silk Road, suggesting a role beyond the administrator job
prosecutors accuse him of holding. Inigo had hosted the so-called
"Dread Pirate Roberts Book Club" on the site's forums, where Silk Road's
users discussed libertarian philosophy and free market economics.
Jones seems to have been released on bail after his arrest; He posted a
notice to Silk Road users on the user forums of Tor Market, a competing
drug site, warning of a possible impending crackdown on Silk Road 2.0 and
its owner, who also calls himself the Dread Pirate Roberts in homage to the
original Silk Road's creator.
"When I was in the interview room they showed me all sorts of shit that
they should not know or have access to including conversations I've had
with buyers and even [the Silk Road 2.0 administrator known as the Dread
Pirate Roberts]," he seems to have written in the post. "Something is
definitely wrong and they have the ability to see things on here only mods
or admins should like [bitcoin] transfers and a dispute I had." The above quoted text shows that the Feds somehow got access to the non-public areas of the Forum. Revealing that information isn't telling them something they don't already know.

Security is a bit like religion... some things have to be taken on faith.
Where security differs from religion is that security is NOT retroactive.
Unlike Christianity, where you can come to Jesus, be 'saved' and have all
your sins washed away, with security you can adopt Tails or PGP, and be
secure from that point forward, but rest assured that your previous sins
(security failings) WILL come back to haunt you and bite you in the ass.
The original DPR is the poster child for that, right now.
Folly, thou conquerest, and I must yield!
Against stupidity the very gods Themselves
contend in vain. --Friedrich Schiller
