Once again, the FBI has caught up with the operator of the site. This time, it was Blake Benthall, and he was arrested in San Francisco this past Wednesday. Blake had been a former employee of SpaceX, Elon Musk's company, but he had only worked there about two months.
Now Blake faces a lifetime imprisonment if convicted. One thing that the FBI and other global law enforcement agencies will be very interested in is his client list – which was unencrypted.
Comment: The Bible tells us that we will reap what we sow. Just because it is easy to hide behind a screen and keyboard does not at all mean you will not be discovered! Now, not only has he been found out, so have all his buyers and dealers! He must have been too confident because he never bothered to encrypt it.
