All of the people who need to be in jail to protect us from them seem to never go, and they are busy busting people like these guys and Ross Ulbricht who were actually advancing use of technology.
They have done this for years, unfortunately. Admins are the weak spot in Reddit, not the jannies (ironically). My sympathies!
