Another banned site, not the one from this week,
Was raided, seized and operated for almost a year until it was shut down. Some of the same charges were made. Money laundering, tax evasion, trafficking in minors.
The lesson for operator's of TER is don't do it here, not in the USA, don't tolerate even the hint of trafficking and pay your taxes.
Not paying taxes is only one way to attract attention.
Watch your financial transactions as close as anything else. If you appear to facilitate illegal activities you are on the radar, just read Fridays Sacramento Bee.
BP is surviving because they are a media outlet and are
somewhat responsive to trafficking. And Village Voice Media pays its taxes.
I still am concerned but I think that it is about return on investment for law enforcement agencies.
I do not see the feds coming after individuals unless they smell other corruption.
Have fun and be safe.
