There is absolutely no way every vendor that sold shit on SR / alphabay / etc has been busted.
For the record, I didn't say they were (though more than a few vendors may have been caught too)
The site operators, of SR and alphabay at least, were caught and royally fucked, but a shit load of vendors made a lot of money and still haven't received indictments.
I'm just saying that any 'high profile' 'hidden' service becomes unhidden sooner or later...or the owners close it before it's too late https://www.reddit.com/r/AgMarketplace/comments/3idznd/agora_to_pause_operat... then again, that's exactly what the 'fine print' from the tor mafia says http://www.ohmygodel.com/publications/usersrouted-ccs13.pdf what's really crazy is that the tor mafia both runs a marketing scam like http://torproject.org/ "Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis." while publishing 'academic' 'papers' explaining what kind of shit tor really is.
