I never really used Tor but it's supposed to be anonymous but this guy got busted in a child porn ring. Glad he got busted but sounds like he was using Tor as well as a Freedom Hosting and all the sites that use it went down. Freedom Hosting with which Marques is connected operated via Tor. Another part of the article says:
There's even more to the story. Before Freedom Hosting went down, it began serving a highly targeted form of malware to all the visitors of the invisible websites it hosted. Not the kind of malware that serves up ads or slows down your computer, but a very specific exploit that caused affected browsers to reaveal their own location on the Internet (normally obscured by the Tor network) to a certain IP address.
And who does this IP address appear to belong to? A U.S. defense department security contractor called SAIC, found investigators at Baneki Privacy Labs.
