I wouldn't bet your freedom on it. The FBI was involved in taking down a similar website just last week [0]. I'm sure they have a solid legal basis for it. [0]

- ThrowAway99122 7y agoI'm sure they did have a solid basis. The FBI statutes referenced are forfeiture related and don't describe the underlying crime they are accused of, and I'm not familiar with UK or NL law where the accused are located. USA is ironically the only country I would hypothetically bet freedom on to operate such a website not that I need/want to, if it's done without intent to defraud. I'll reply why to a lower comment but the fact that no Americans were able to be charged is a good start.
