Conrad Rockinhouse, who operated major Tor exit nodes through his company Grey Pony IT, was arrested by the FBI allegedly for refusing to help decrypt Tor traffic. While he had committed computer fraud against a former employer in 2014, he wasn't charged until 2019 after building his Tor hosting business. His case involves multiple probation violations, surveillance software circumvention attempts, and a complex legal battle spanning several years including 3 years in jail without trial.
