Police & Child Porn

VG exposed the largest child sexual abuse forum. It was run by the police. The translation is a little rough, but basically there was an existing Tor web site, the police tracked a Bitcoin wallet and discovered the owners and took it over, moving it to Australia where they'd have broad latitude.
The VG journalists' efforts similarly cracked the location of the server, uncovered the law enforcement people running it, and ... there's some seriously dark grey areas here.
