    The main reason they were able to prosecute TPB admins was the claim they were making money.

    I think in the Darknet Diaries episode about TPB, the guy said they never even made enough off of ads to pay for the server costs.

      He also said as much in their documentary TPB AFK.

      Maybe the issue was they didn’t make enough money? If they had truly been greedy bastards they could have used that money to win the court case? What a joke.
