That's one side of writing that blog post, but on the other side, if someone were to simply try this scheme again, but on a forum Krebs doesn't monitor, or more secretly, this particular blog post with a date will help his defence to show they tried this before.

(At least that would seem to make sense to me, but I am not familiar with US regulations and when it comes to drugs they can apparently be .. somewhat counterintuitive)

But yeah he is playing a dangerous game, and I think he is well aware of that.

Also, I wonder, he must be monitoring at least tens of underground-forums or so, that must take a sizeable chunk out of his day? Especially depending on how fluent his Russian is. I hope he has an intern or something to help him out scanning those boards.
