   I think this is an interesting notion. Yet you misunderstand my apathy
   for dislike. I simply don't care for this man. Not at all. I think law
   is served the way it should be, although later than it should be. This
   law the citizens of America mostly agree with (hard to believe but true
   nonetheless) and he will likely be prosecuted fairly.

   It's miraculous that this man didn't decide to build up an existence in
   Russia or somesuch country, where he'd be safe from such prosecution.
   Why he didn't do the ultimate best he could to simply disappear.

   Additionally Silk Road has been the one example of "bad things with
   Bitcoin" so as a news message this is good news for those that own
   Bitcoin, and Bitcoins image of legitimacy. This is the fact I am
   celibrating. The actual arrest and takedown are sad results of society
   and the fact that the owner wasn't hardcore paranoid enough, and I see
   no reason to celebrate that.
