None that I know offhand, unless you count PF, but that was a large scale operation.

And it wasn't 'the net' that got him. It was the mothers of little minors ordering spores (via the net), as I understand it. Whether or not this is what happened, it's the greatest immediate threat to any vendor, in my mind.
Sometimes the kiddies wonder why forums enforce an age rule.

PF got caught because he advertized in an international magazine (Hightimes) for well over a decade and provided instructions and advice on how to grow the spores.
He was investigated for a long time by the FTC and DEA. I don't think it had anything to do with kids and it certainly didn't have anything to do with the internet.

i would say dont reveal any details on your location and avoid clearly posting the exact scale of your operation, that should keep them far enough in the dark to keep you safe

there was a guy on myspace who got busted for posting pics of his grow... on myspace... and was dumb enough to leak other personal info, but then any fag who uses myspace probably is dumb enough to let that happen anyways

if you're going to post pics/growlogs, it would be smart to be anonymous. I recommend http://www.torrify.com/

^^ ill second that. Post by a "handle" and dont let detailed information about yourself out there. Number one rule is DEFIENTLY dont be showing your friends or talk about it being "your" grow. Its just asking for problems in the long run.
Trust no one. seriously.
