I think people are less worried about finding a source for illegal drugs, and more worried about finding a secure marketplace where they can trust the administration and exchange their funds securely.
Theoretically, I would be relatively bummed out if my favorite drug dealer was arrested. Then I would get over it and find a new dealer.
I would be livid if my drug dealer took my money, pointed a gun at my head, then got in his car and drove away, all the while claiming that he wasn't robbing me and that he had always had my best intentions at heart.
So I'm not so concerned about a new marketplace popping up. The market demands drugs, and it will have them (SR3?). My point was simple: if you don't want to lose your money, don't store your money in an anonymous, drug-dealing marketplace. I'm not sure why this warranted such a sarcastic response?
