Forbes magazine (HT: Dan) had an article about them last month.  The feds have known about them for while.  This guy new that was so cocky about the website's anonymity controls that he agreed to do an interview with Forbes, or anyone else who asked.

In the article, he claims he only allows the sale of "victimless contrabands"--no child porn, stolen good, etc.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Should send it some of ours as well
Nice photoshop job.  We should recruit these guys.

(then again, taking women out of the ikea catalog is not quite as offensive as taking Hilary Clinton out of the situation room.)
