Nothing else too interesting in it.
It does say they cloned the server before they arrested him though. Was hosted overseas in a country that shares legal info. That is a major problem with hosting an illegal site. The countries that won't turn over stuff to the FBI don't have adequate infrastructure to host moderately busy sites.
The $3.6 mill they seized was DPR's personal BC wallets and also all the money in escrow from SR waiting on shipments to arrive. So some people are out some serious cash.
I imagine buyers/sellers BC wallets are safe since SR uses a BC tumbler in all their transactions. I would still move any bitcoin I had to a new wallet.
********
I'm not familiar enough with their ordering system to know but do you communicate your shipping address via PM on SR? Anyone know if its encrypted?
I've never ordered off of it nor had the need. I would be concerned if PMs are not encrypted. I imagine they will be collecting as many shipping addresses as possible and hitting them ASAP. WOuld also imagine they will prioritize them by quantity/volume.

They can't bust any sellers since their info is anonymous too. Likewise they can't bust buyers so don't sweat it. Buyer info was coded into pgp before being sent to the vendor
It seems they linked his real life info to sr activities. He was careless and sloppy and got caught. There was a story that sr was sold a while back, that may have not been true.
The darknet lives on, just be careful, like you would when buying on the street. At least you can't get shot on the internet.

There has already been a couple "busts" of sellers and buyers in the past

I wouldn't really call making a single post years ago to promote a product or service "hanging out", that's more along the lines of spamming but it's still interesting that he posted here even once.

The fed will tie that up until after the trial so it doesn't come into play. The bc price is dropping like crazy though, dropped about 20% so far. I imagine it will be below $100 tomorrow. When it hits bottom it will be a great time to invest.

Just read the whole 40 page document.
It appears they will not be going after users, primarily because it is "practically impossible".
Take a breath, everyone.
I think its interesting there was no mention of PGP.
Also it appears DPR became complacent, linking his real name to sites that specialize in programming TOR sites etc.
sad to see him go but where there is demand someone will step up to fill his shoes.
My condolances to those who had money in their SR wallet

The charges against him indicate that there is evidence suggesting he was in charge the whole time.
However the original DPR and current DPR may very well have wanted it to look that way as part of the deal

Silk road is down, other sites will continue and be born. 
I wonder what that "hiring a hitman"-thing is about though. That kind of puts a dent into my view of him as a hero.
