Thanks for digging into this. Every story like this has two sides. As a non-American that has no idea about what "US Marshals" are even supposed to do, It still feels like an excessive show of force just to arrest someone that skipped probation for a sentence of a non-violent crime. But maybe I’m becoming too British for my own good. Time to spend a couple of months back in Brazil 🤣.

There could be an excess use of force, sure. It really depends how far he chose to not be compliant with requests. I just dislike how they took the approach of this incident. If they wanted to be genuine, talk about excess use of force, not how you ran a node over a decade ago. What kind of sentence is "he ran some of the fastest relays and exit nodes in the world" anyways? Why would an onion routing network user care about that? It feels so plastic.
