I think that some ties were severed. Maybe not by LOCHCDEX, but by the other side(s). They get nervous when the FEDs take an interest, and especially when the op to make easy money seems to have dried up, as it did back in late 2000, after the Washington demo.
Nigel was penned up, TB et al had their wings clipped, the LOCH PRs dried up, Blair was a disgraced Scapegoat. The SP dropped back into the low pennies, and the long slow process of fading away began.
Most of the activity since then has been trying to delay by such as the APA, DA, CA, and people such as Cisco and probably Ymarcine getting OFC settlements, Lawyers picking bones, CDEX and the associated minor perps selling PPs and CDEX making like a respectable wannabe.
FJ got his payment and went away, the LONGERs kept wistfully posting, hoping for a miracle, one or two of the "western" connection and the "southern" connection minor players chiming in to keep things lukewarm in case another 2000 like time comes along.
RIO and fellow travellers dashing about under one alias or another, trying to shut up "Bashers" and stabbing people in the back. A minor annoyance at worst, a source of scorn though mostly. Some part-time PP vendors trying with varying success
to do some pumps and/or chase off LMOROVAN or other perceived "Bashers".
The Crooked stuph ain't over, but it seems to be pretty well packed down.
I believe the FEDs may have a slight interest still, but face it, this thing is small minnows in a pond of alligators and sharks. Nae doot, low priority.
Besides,it looks doubtful that they can even stay in bidness for many more months..nor would want to.
