Back before 2012 you just had to hide your IP before you entered Tor...the entrance and exit nodes where being watched, but they couldnt tell what your where doing when you entered.
"In October 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shut down the website and arrested Ross Ulbricht under charges of being the site's pseudonymous founder "Dread Pirate Roberts". On 6 November 2013, Silk Road 2.0 came online, run by former administrators of Silk Road. It was also shut down, and the alleged operator was arrested on 6 November 2014 as part of the so-called "Operation Onymous". Ulbricht was convicted of seven charges related to Silk Road in the U.S. Federal Court in Manhattan and was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.In November 2020, the United States government seized more than one billion dollars worth of bitcoins connected to Silk Road" I pulled the above info off of Wikipedia.
i always had a strange feeling about Tor - i've read in the past that there were known bugs that weren't fixed, or where patches seem to have been delayed
of course the risks are the same with a VPN
i pulled all my college books off of the library of Tor for free...it was great. there was a whole bunch of kool shit...also seriously sinister criminal activity (The Joe Biden kind). ..and the sinister stuff was getting more prevalent around 2012 and even the Tor developers where telling us to take alot of extra precautions when using their network because world governments where very upset they couldnt see what was going on in there... I bailed from Tor about then.
i'm well aware of the Ulbricht case - that poor fella does not belong in prison
as i recall, the fags... scuse me... feds we able to penetrate the network because they physically observed Ulbricht logging on
one of those fuck-sticks later stole a bunch of coinage and there was a lot of other shit that went down - his mom has given many interviews about the whole mess
Freedom has been under attack for a long time now.....Obama was tying up lose ends and they where going to coup de gras the US when killary got in....but then we didn't vote for her did we? ...and now we are in the middle of a presidential election that holds our freedom in the balance. ...and the largest case of voter fraud ever recorded.... but that's a different thread topic.
