I'd presume they are posting to Reddit cia TOR, so I doubt subpoenaing Reddit would give much new information.

- downandout 12y agoI thought about that, but you never know. There are other bits and pieces available...email, which might lead to a real IP via another subpoena if the person isn't careful, ad/tracking cookies, etc. I would guarantee you that some of these people aren't being that careful with their clearnet activities.
- NegatioN 12y agoWould it be worth investing those kind of resources into tracking lower-tier sellers or buyers though?
- downandout 12y agoWell....reading the thread, there are people claiming that drug gangs are going to kill people (both the owners of the site and people who are going to come up short paying their suppliers), at least one person seriously talking about suicide, and another saying that he has contact info for the owners. I can't say what resources they will put into it, but there are a ton of law enforcement red alerts and more than enough probable cause in that one thread to subpoena Reddit.
- rodgerd 12y agoIf you're the kind of person who is smart enough to use Tor properly, you're the kind of person who is unlikely to be complaining about money you lost in drug trades on a high-profile web site.
- enraged_camel 12y agoEven smart people make mistakes, especially after seeing other seemingly smart people making those mistakes.
- olefoo 12y agoGiven that these are people who put significant amounts of money at risk in unregulated and outright illegal businesses; you may be making unwarranted assumptions about their intelligence and operational security.
