I have always thought that Tor isn't as anonymous as many seem to think. The government is feigning helplessness to lull people into a false sense of security for blackmail and takedown purposes. As evidenced by this report, the government can pull the rug out from under incriminated Tor users at any time.

Agreed. I don't know what makes people believe that the government made Tor, but they can't decrypt it. That's crazy talk in my mind.

To keep Tor hack source code secret, DOJ dismisses child porn case | Ars Technica

'Peter Carr, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, declined comment on the Michaud case, but noted that its dismissal "has no effect on the Tippens case."', "Last year, US District Judge Robert Bryan ordered the government to hand over the NIT's source code in Michaud."

'Defense attorneys have attempted to gain access to some, if not all, of the NIT’s source code as part of the criminal discovery process. '

'Since that May 2016 order, the government has classified the source code itself, thwarting efforts for criminal discovery in more than 100 Playpen-related cases that remain pending. '

'"The Tippens case is still scheduled for trial on March 13, and we have raised and briefed our concerns about the government's overreaching and tactics in both the Michaud and Tippens cases," Fieman e-mailed Ars on Saturday. '
