I hope the guy looks like Carey Elwes, IRL.

Cumberbatch is the man, Bruhl is great and bill condon is a solid director. But I've heard very little positive things about the film thus far.
Social Network was terrific.

Google and roll the dice?
It's amazing TSR lasted as long as it did, considering how many powerful government agencies it pissed off.
Of course, all the alphabet agencies included (FBI, CIA, DEA, etc.), but the Treasury as well. Bitcoin is outside the purview of the Fed Reserve. Since TSR was probably a huge part of the bitcoin market, taking it down (and potentially seizing all those coins) is going to do huge damage to bitcoins - at least in the short term.
Conspiracies abound that the story of DPR's takedown isn't legitimate, but a parallel construction. That is, the NSA had the intel, then told the authorities where to look so they could build a case. It's possible, but if so, then Tor isn't secure (and some people believe some Tor servers are operated by the government, anyway).
Lots of repercussions here.

Great story. I find myself feeling bad for this guy for some reason?
Can't wait for the book (Ben Mezrich would be my pick) and subsequent movie.

I wonder what his Sherdog name was?
