Silk Road 2.0 Users in Panic Following FBI Site Shutdown

With news of the FBI bust and shutdown of the Silk Road 2.0 website, Silk Road users took to Reddit and other social networks to panic, laced with some humor.

From the Reddit stream:
This is horrible news. I am so thankful that I got my last couple of orders in yesterday... I really hope they come through as I will have no way of contacting the vendors. Are we safe? What does this mean for us?
---
if an address was clear texted what will happen?!!!
--
There is a possibility that the feds will take note of it and investigate further. Be safe- shred drives and stay encrypted.
---
Shredding drives and encrypting is not going to make you safe. It is going to give them justification to investigate you further.
Two "safe" options. 1. suicide 2. immediate relocation to an undisclosed location or country
---
Consider the adress you used burnt/flagged.
---
the server was imaged with an informer admin so if it was plaintext they've got it. clean up your place, don't get any dirty shipments
---
Wait, but what if they can trace the BTC adress that BTC was sent to SR to back to the BTC addresses account that would have personal info on!?!!!?? Fuckk

---
DAMN i was owed $150 bucks
---
I just placed an order last night, any ideas on the probability of that order being fulfilled? What a bummer.
---
Even if Silk Road makes it way back - never again. Never, ever again. They put this grandiose statement on their site, "...our enemies may seize our site, they may impound our coins, but...blah blah blah." Now look where we all are!
---
So, are we just fucked now? About our Money..
---
You'll be able to request the return of your BTC from the FBI, you'll just have to be fully investigated first.
---
I'm more worried about legal exposure. My order have been infrequent and small so I'm assuming I don't fit the profile of what the feds are looking for, but still. Scary feeling (I had an order that it looks like hadn't yet shipped though the seller had it for a few days, so in an ideal world it shipped but they weren't able to update).
---
 the site has been infiltrated for a long time potentially. Though no point hating on the admin, he is getting f*cked harder than any one, looking at 20 years...
---
Again, the unbelievable levels of delusion you operate under provides the absolute funniest happening in some time. You dumb, dumb fucks. I can't wait for SR3, lord knows you idiots won't learn a fucking thing.
---
What happens now? does the Money disappear or can we get them back somehow later?
---
Of course not. What kind of question is that?
--
Yeah you can totally get it back, what you have to do is wait 48 hours till the seizure shows on blockchain. The FBI will put a helpline number on their website for people who had the money that they were going to use to buy drugs seized, you phone them and have the option of either getting the money back or the drugs you wanted....
What do YOU think?
---
You'll be receiving a check from DoJ in 2-4 weeks.

knock knock
POLICE! FREEZE MOTHER FUCKER! GET DOWN
shoots ur dog

Everyone just lost a shit load of money
