Any word on whether we can expect customers and sellers to be hunted down? I had heard rumors for months that DPR he been compromised. I know quite a few people who used Silk Road, many carelessly so.

> Any word on whether we can expect customers and sellers to be hunted down? So far the known tally, from reading the forums & Reddit, is: a SR employee (arrested, unknown), DPR (arrested, charged), a UK vendor (arrested, probably won't be charged), and a WA vendor (arrested, charged). If anyone knows of other arrests/charges/convictions, please tell me. I've been trying to maintain a complete list at http://www.gwern.net/Silk%20Road#safe http://www.gwern.net/Silk%20Road#safe

Most plausible outcome I've heard is that the Feds will only pursue high-volume users, either vendors, or buyers who intended to distribute. Buyers for personal use wouldn't be worth the trouble, though I think they could just distribute that info to local LE.
