I'm not surprised at all. It would have been extremely easy for a person to make a ton of money on that site, but greed will always cost you. I guess any American who has used that site will be investigated now? Glad it won't be me!

The server was identified and “imaged” back in July.

The vast majority of dealers on SR were European.

That seizure notice looks like it was made in MS Paint.

apparently the guy that ran it has hired at least 2 hit men
> Dread Pirate Roberts once ordered a murder of a user who was attempting to blackmail him, the complaint alleges. A user named FriendlyChemist wanted $500,00 from Dread Pirate Roberts, or else thousands of Silk Road identities would be published. Dread Pirate Roberts solicited a hitman through Silk Road to "put a bounty on [FriendlyChemist's] head." When quoted a price of $150,000 to $300,000, Dread Pirate Roberts called the price high, saying he had had a hit done "not long ago" for $80,000. The parties agreed on a price of $150,000, or 1,670 Bitcoins, and the hitman reported the job was done. However, the FBI could not find any evidence of a related homicide and Ulbricht was not charged with murder.

Oh my God yeah, those were awful. I think the PRISM logo infringed on someone's copyright too.

I do wonder why silk road was even storing that much information about clients, this doesn't seem necessary?

The silk road doesn't store any information about it's clients. The only weak point lies in the fact that the encrypted user information is available to the vendor. They are supposed to destroy the information after shipping but apparently there's at least one guy who didn't do that.
Also, I had to check for myself... the silk road was in fact seized.
That image pops up instead of the actual site.

Only sloppy vendors would have their contact info found out and as for the customer info, it was a rogue vendor who collected that data from their operation without destroying it and then threatened the SRs owner with it.

Probably.

No, retard, it was a social engineering move where they sold cheap drugs and kept the users data instead of destroying it as vendors are supposed to do.

That doesn't explain how they got vendor information. Vendors are not supposed to ever expose their private info from what I understand, since they just send packages with no return address.

Those vendors must have been dumb-as-fuck and did something retarded like buying drugs using their vendor account instead of a separate buying account. It happened to Eric Daniel Hughes and it could have happened to these other vendors whose information could have been (and wasn't) leaked.

Indeed. No return address is also pretty fucking stupid. Vendors who knew what they were doing used fake addresses for the return labels, having no label is a red-flag at the post office.

The point being they don't put their own address on there, yes. I am not an internet drug dealer so I have not considered all the best ways to do so, all I'm saying is that for this information to be leaked there either have to be a lot of stupid people incriminating themselves, or silk road stores too much info.

It was stupid people incriminating themselves, nothing to do with how the SR operated. All customer information stored on the servers was encrypted using keys only available to the buyer and seller. Only those two parties were able to decrypt the data stored on the servers. The data was destroyed by the server after the transaction was over.
But if you're dumb enough to have drugs delivered to your address through an account that sells illegal drugs, expect your information to be leaked despite all of SRs best intentions. Drug dealers don't generally like competition and SR even specifically warned about that attack vector, but clearly enough people ignored that for it be an issue.
