“Instead of the old-fashioned police work trumpeted by some media outlets, the discovery of Ulbricht may have unfolded much differently. The NSA (or FBI) may have first used one of its Tor exploits to discover the location of the Silk Road server. While the foreign legal process of gaining access to the server was underway, agents might have identified the DPR’s IP address and traced it to Ulbricht’s apartment. This could have led investigators to intercept Ulbricht’s order of fake IDs as they crossed the Canadian border. To conceal that they acted on a tip from NSA, Canadian authorities claimed to discover the package as part of a routine border inspection.”
