This is quite interesting. It's initially unclear exactly what the angle of this research is, but I think that reflects the uncertainty that still surrounds this operation. Most notable to me was that the jihad-funding site was left up while its clone was taken down. Does that mean they couldn't locate the server, or that it's controlled by the FBI?

Most notable to me was that the jihad-funding site was left up while its clone was taken down. Does that mean they couldn't locate the server, or that it's controlled by the FBI? I was wondering the same thing - and this line from the article too: In a number of cases the FBI has seized the clone or scam version of a site while leaving up the real site. Is it because all the clone/scam sites were hosted on the same set of servers, or do the FBI know where the real ones are already but are deliberately leaving it up (and just removing the fakes since they're presumably interfering with their surveillance)?
