why do you think it wasn’t done by the fbi? fbi is public about their campaign against z-lib devs. and the z-lib devs did acknowledge this siezure in may
Because even the worst of bureaucracy employees isn’t going to put “this is how [russian cybercriminals] are spending [money]” and place some absolutely weird pictures of a small and cheap house next to a pond, a small and cheap trailer being pulled in snow, a relatively nice but middle-class affordable boat in a swamp, and a family of four by a pool.
Uh, dude. No one is saying that the FBI didn’t seize the domain, but go look for yourself whether they have turdy little pictures of how they are spending the money.

Is the post description bugged out? I see a lot of comments mentioning things that are already mentioned in it.
Here's the post description, in case it is bugging out
The other domains are still online, though z-library has yet to respond
I’ve seen this ‘z-library seized’ image shared around much prior to this, but I couldn’t find the source
It’s unlikely that this was actually done by the FBI

seizedservers is apparently a commonly used domain to redirect domain seizures to. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/z-library-ebook-site-domains-seized-by-us-dept-of-justice/.

the seized domain z-library.se displays those exact photos?
This is none of the domains mentioned in the article, and as far as I know this site was only modified yesterday.
This image has also been floating around for a while, but I don’t know how often the FBI reuses target-specific images.

Understood, I’ll edit it now.
you’re right, but a quick query turns it up as a seized domain https://torrentfreak.com/z-library-more-domains-seized-than-any-other-pirate-site-in-history-240721/
Shows up on voyager. Some people just read the title/image and scroll down.
