   So as some of you may be aware the CP site playpen got busted a while ago and the FBI basically continued to operate the site for several weeks after the admin was in custody , serving malware to the people downloading content from the hidden service. The FBI reckons that because they had a warrant for the computer systems related to playpen they were entitled to serve malware to it's clientele as well, which they hoped would lead to more busts. Reportedly a little over a thousand people were infected. However a federal judge has now decided to throw out the evidence collected in this manner since the FBI did not have a warrant to interfere with the systems of playpen's clientele.
   
   Here's an article that goes into the details.

   Justice has been served, and i commend the judge on his decision.

   Didn't this happen over a year ago? How are they infecting people with malware? Wouldnt they need to install something?

   $10 says the judge dismissed it because he was a visitor of the site.

   This happened a year ago due to a zero day within FireFox. That one has been patched, that one. Who knows what the FBI has crafted since.

   Would it even matter for you because you are a hollander? If the judge didnt dismiss it id be interested to see how it plays out internationally.

   Only if the FBI presented evidence to my government through diplomatic means, which i would argue is unlikely to happen for silly old me.

   I can only imagine they'll appeal after shopping around for a friendlier venue and judge

    The FBI owes me a few hundred $$'s in BTC from both silk roads getting shut down. I have my login credentials and my balance history.
    
    Guess where my coins landed.
