Almost all the money went towards purchasing equipment and legal fees. I don't think anyone in particular (except maybe the lawyers) got rich off the site.


To be fair, I don't think anyone has any idea where that money is going (though maybe someone has an estimate for how much money is involved). Statements from pseudonymous site operators can't reasonably be trusted. If they were getting rich off of a site of questionable legality, they certainly wouldn't be advertising that fact.


Keep believing the sob stories. One of the most frequently visited websites is "barely paying for the servers", yeah right. Wish Wikileaks would publish real numbers and profit they make.


It's not like they needed an exorbitant amount of servers either, they host magnet links.
