and tor's onions are basically trivially findable for such GPA's, they
rely on secret 'tips' from undiscloseable tap / LE partners, typically
overseas since that makes jurisdiction and discovery even harder.

We also know opsec of criminals often plain sucks, worse
if they in drugs / sex brainrot instead of say fincrime brainbiz.

And unless you're finding, tracking and helping all these court
cases, and the defense lawyers are throwing everything they've
got into the discovery / evidenciary process, and everyone's
feeding the newswires about questionable cases... it will remain
a mystery of just what was opsec fuckup, and what is parallel
construction from illegal spying etc, and pleas on bogus
foundations will continue to happen.
