It seems to be full of facts that no one but those who publish this site know anything about. The prop war is on. There was a breach recently that was published as the deanonymization of 400 illegal sites. The facts showed it was 23 and several of those had nothing to do with the sting, the FBI just wanted the computer of a law abiding TOR node owner. There is quite a concern about even the 23 (or less) that were uncovered but it is becoming clear by FBI statements that the only way they were able to enter those nodes was that those nodes were not following TOR procedures for security, so basically it was likely the fault of the node owner. It's being researched but the article you posted just sits alone among a lot of false propaganda going around. If I find that public non-profit information leads to the conclusion that your article is factual, I'll take it all back. But this definitely does not convince.
