"That was enough for a judge to grant the FBI a warrant and permission to secretly install what’s known as a pen/trap device, which allowed for the monitoring of Hammond’s Internet activity at the end of February 2012. That, coupled with the physical surveillance, allowed the agency to see when he was home. What they found correlated with his Tor usage—which allowed him to hide his IP address—and when “yohoho” was online, " http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/headline-story/9895/jeremy-hamm... "Bello Coffee appears to be the cafe from which police say Ulbricht logged into the virtual private network (VPN) that he allegedly used as an extra layer of protection to access Tor and Silk Road. The prosecution says they have records from Google showing Ulbricht logging into his Gmail account from the Internet cafe on a regular basis, including on days when the VPN was used from the same cafe." oh its too funny.... so what jeremy says about his case is that they just did lots of different types of investigations and that is what got him - he also states that he should have been mobile - nomadic ... maybe solutions should be nomadic as well On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 3:01 PM, Georgi Guninski <guninski@guninski.com> wrote:

Have the actual chain of custodied investigative materials as to exactly how the SilkRoad server was found come out yet? (And other similarly fishy cases where nodes on supposedly strong overlay networks were found...) Or is that still wrapped in grand jury, work product, state secret, in camera, sealed...
If you find out, let us know.
This is the most "official" version for me for now.
