I always feel like the people who are involved in these illegal forums would have better OpsSec. The fact the feds got all of his electronic devices and within a few hours had plenty of damning information is always kind of shocking to me.
I guess that's the difference between the real criminals who never get caught and others who get greedy or too lazy in covering their tracks.
Proper OpSec is a pain in the ass and requires constant vigilance as being correct 99% of the time is not good enough.
If I got a magic gift of $10 million in crypto but I had to start doing proper OpSec to hide everything on my devices and digital life, that would be a huge downgrade in my quality of life; it's not worth it.
