I'm just wondering, why did they put the logo of the site in the background of the seizure notice? seems out of place.

"The Silk Road busted and $3.6 worth of Bitcoins seized from US Gov"

I found this more funny. "seized from US Gov"

Did this guy really think he can get away? Almost sounds like this was project honeypot.

How could anyone be so stupid? They gave him a free pass with a huge warning and he just got dumber. Wow.

What other sites are there?

Yeah he sounds a bit like that guy Hunter Moore who ran IsAnyoneUp.com

It doesn't and the fact that SR is now gone I think it may actually pull in more interest due to the fact that its not revolving around an illegal drug/arms trade. There will always be some black market site trying to monetize on it but nothing that will ever reach SR levels IMO.

After the first two or three million you would think he would move to an island nation and move the server to one as well.

I think markets want this stuff so bad that there will be a bigger, better, SR-type site within the next six months.

Think of SR as a proof-of-concept, and with the raid, the opportunity for a risk-crazed player is now quantified, making it even more attractive.

Russian mafia will take over. Come on, a San Francisco kid could not run this for long.
