Do vendors have a direct line to SR? Like a phone number or something other than a web site. With all they have invested in product you think they would

There's a good long-term plan for maintaining one's freedom. Let anybody who pays you $150 for a vendor account have your cell number :)

No man... if anybody's got that, they sure aren't gonna share it.

LOL think about it, man.  This whole website is built around the idea of anonymity.  Do you really think the people running this site are going to just hand out contact information?  That information would be worth a lot of $ to law enforcement, and the people running this site could do serious time for being involved with this site.

Patience.  I understand vendors freaking out but consumers, for the most part, need to go outside and enjoy the Fall weather.

If there was a phone number, law enforcement would buy a vendor account, trace the phone number, look for all the connections to the Tor network in the area and arrest the management. It would be one of the easiest big-time busts ever.

I don't expect there is any other connection between sellers and the site operators. But if there is, it definitely isn't a phone number.

Good point, I never even thought of that. I bet somebody out there would pay quite a bit for his identity.  I gotta give it to DPR... he's got some serious balls. Or a God complex with a sense of invulnerability... either one gets the job done, I suppose.
