On October 2nd 2013, Silk Road was seized by ICE and Dread Pirate Roberts (Powerword: Ross Ulbricht)'s face got plastered all over the web, with allegations that he is the owner. Many Tor users may be worried about how DPR's identity was found despite hosting the site with Tor. Fortunately for them, DPR's identity was found as a result of him posting his actual Gmail address from the account he used to advertise on forums. Other evidence that resulted directly from his intelligence included being caught ordering counterfeit IDs to his address shortly after DPR inquired about fake IDs on Silk Road, telling the police who caught him about Silk Road and posting PHP code from Silk Road on stackoverflow using his real name.
