I wish the world focused more on the other crimes like Corruption, than someone involved with an online drug marketplace. Even in Phili.. its a serious matter when 100's of people are killed who are involved with drugs, but that country faces a massive problem with Corruption, so they should take care of that first. Same thing with America. A lot of much more other serious crimes, and all they go for are people involved in less serious crimes.
Yeah, problem is it's all about money. US agencies are constantly fighting one another for budget allocations from the national budget. Drug/associated asset seizures and convictions are easy money, basically.
There are more nefarious things going on that also contribute, but in the interest of not appearing to be a wing-nut, I won't go into them.
