I think we've learned from the Dread Pirate Roberts case that what FBI says they did to catch these guys is a lie. They caught them some other way - either in an illegal way or through some method they intend to use in the future and don't want to disclose now. Either way, chances are it didn't happen the way they say it did.

I would not be surprised if undercover police tactics succeeded across multiple markets, and the FBI simply timed the shutdowns to coincide. In fact I remember reading an interview with a market founder in cryptonews, where he mentioned the difficulty in finding and trusting support staff. That's all the more reason to listen when the FBI comes knocking, asking to help with support.
