Paraphrasing an aphorism I saw elsewhere: "Crime is legal now".

Given there are at least thousands if not millions of people who "provide online forums," and pretty much this single one is in prison, I have to wonder if there's something unique about this case?

I don't know anything about this guy. Is there really nothing unique about his case?

Oh so it was a marketplace, not a forum. Like one that allowed people to openly transact illegal goods? That makes more sense.

It's weird that GP seemed to purposely obscure that.

Yes, it was the biggest drug market on the dark web at that time, and the 50,676 bitcoins seized by the feds from then is today worth 5,3 billion dollars to give you an idea.

Also there was a long side story with disappeared bitcoins, presumably stolen by federal investigators.
