Re: [Trisquel-users] Tor browsing in Trisquel 7 is a BAD idea

I would hardly call these users professional criminals, or event technically  
competent. The processionals are raking in millions. Billions even. And they  
aren't hiding either like the master mind of Silk Road was. The processionals  
aren't even needing Tor as they operate from places with dysfunctional  
governments (and in some cases are in control of the government). The kinds  
of money the real professionals bring in dwarf what was pulled in via the  
operation of Silk Road for instance. The commissions from Silk Road for  
instance brought in a pittance relative what was laundered through the  
banking system (Silk Road had a mere $79.8 million in commissions). The drug  
cartels operate in the billions range.

Those with intelligence will evaluate the risks, and plan for them regardless  
of the legality of the business. Every business entails risk and the reward  
can often be connected to the risk factor. Be it a seemingly legal, but  
untested business model, or a completely illegal operation. Just because  
you've setup a legal operation doesn't mean there are no legal risks.
