There have been some cases where some consider the "other lapses in OpSec" to be parallel construction to disguise a Tor vulnerability/breach, and others where the government has declined to prosecute because they'd have to reveal how they know.
If Tor were compromised, we'd likely not know. It's highly likely that it's fine for "normal people" things.
