From the wired article:

“Moving forward,” they wrote, the Justice Department should “take a hard look at bringing this case as a civil forfeiture case,” with its “lower standard of proof.” In this scenario, the government would seize a website operator’s assets and property, then force them to prove they weren’t implicated in criminal activity.

That Twitter thread is an excellent example of why Twitter is terrible for such long posts. It's painful to read in hundreds of small chunks.

That's the Twitter thread, thanks!
