While reading the book Surveillance Valley, encountered the connection between the use of TOR to supposedly give anonymous IP addresses to prevent tracking and privacy.

This guy with his MS degree in business from Penn State started a business using the anonymity of TOR.
Notice the penalty when he was busted.
The authorities were quite vindictive.
