Here's some press about it. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/russia-announces-111000-bounty-identify-tor-users/?utm_source=o1&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=o1#!bnX9eL I find two things particularly amusing. 1) that russian companies and citizens would have to pay an entry fee 2) CMU dropped their blackhat presenation https://www.blackhat.com/latestintel/07212014-a-schedule-update.html How likely is it the NSA decided to embargoed CMU's presentation so they could keep the data flowing out of Russia via Tor, or does CMU just have a russian company they are going to 'license' this too?
