The are few lessons from Samourai shutdown and arrest:
1. If there is someone to be arrested, charged, trialed and executed. They will. It is absurdly hard to do the OpSec right and stay anonymous and do something big in the same time.
2. If there is an website to be shut down it will be. US basically owns all the domains and there is nothing to do about it. If they decide to sieze domain they will.
3. If there is an server with potentially unencrypted data, we MUST assume government will have it at some point. Hiding a server with big traffic is close to impossible.
4. Inviting Russian oligarchy (with doxxed account) on Twitter to the Samourai isn't wise. Let sleeping dogs lie. Shut the fuck up when governments listen.
5. If you live in the country that extradicts people to the US, you will be extradicted.
