I would rather see the child porn hidden service sites being taken down.
keep dreaming! Only Drug Markets are getting LE media headlines.
I’m glad the HYDRA pig got busted! He went along with zeltasgarden in scamming me! Sweet Karma! LMAO!
Its a known fact that law enforcement from city all the way up to federal government are producers and distributors of CP. Much like they are with drugs. They are just getting rid of their competition.
A gun pointed at the defendants butt… maybe LE is heavily invested in buttcoin. You hafta protect your investments.
There are people “out there” that truly believe in a currency that is not subject to central banks ie BTC. Unfortunately criminal elements like this douche-bag deluxe drug pusher have runed any chance ie BTC becoming mainstream.
If they continue like this, there will be nothing left than disgusting CP on the Deep Web.. Why dont bust 27 CP-sites? Maybe because there is more money on the drug sites and places where there is much money without any profit for the government are a thorn in the eyes of our praised politicians and their servants (LE), more than some CP-Boards, where they maybe would find their own IP-addresses.. Maybe they are frustrated when think about all the money on the sites, that would be better off on their own bank accounts, so that they could spend more money on CP and Cocaine..
