So BreachForums has been siezed...for the fifth time. The FBI seems to want to devote time and effort chasing down a marketplace which has long since been a place of anything significant.
The $2000 price for the database currently being sold by the ex-administrator should hint to the level of individuals still on the site.
Not to mention, these sorts of low-level cybercrime communities can made more useful as a door into certain groups and communites which actually cause real-world harm.
There are criminals out there, the FBI just needs to learn how to do more than just scratch the surface.
