It looks like the lessons here are

1) Be careful how your promote your criminal enterprise (early bitcoin talk pages about silk road are from Ross)

2) Don't commit a crime to cover up a lesser crime (Covering up running silk road by trying to commit murder by hire)

3) regularaly check the IP of your service that is running a TOR site. Requests sent to that IP should have been blocked.

The real lesson should be don't serious commit crimes. I don't know any organization that has never had a security fuck up.

The whole of morality is not contained by the law. How about those folks who broke apartheid law by going to the University of Alabama? I stipulate that operational security is not exactly part of breaking apartheid laws, but still...

Copyright laws are going way way overboard. How about breaking those laws in order to expose corruption? That could happen, easily. "Don't commit serious crimes" is advice for the conformist.

Well now he is going to conform his ass to federal prison for his entire life.

Going to UofA during segregation wasn't a serious crime.

As a practical matter, civil disobedience is most effective when you aren't committing serious crimes.

Throwing a rock through a window to support coffee farmers in Guatemala is one thing. Bombing a logging operation is quite another.

Even if you think you are being moral, it's really stupid to commit serious crimes.
