Case has been going on for a couple of years, but has only just been publicly reported on. Quite an interesting read.

And they wonder why no one trusts a ginger....

It's pretty sad that they made the second version so obvious to catch. I mean they can encrypt under Tor and then make some marketplace in general instead of making it too obvious. I mean if the first version guy was caught alteast while making the second version they can be pretty much thinking about safety of their own atleast.
