A year after the closedown, Sloncek, the brain behind the legendary torrent site told what really happened:

..there was a door bell at 6:30 in the morning, saying it’s the police. Actually I was not expecting anything anymore, since SuprNova.org has been taken offline long before that. They showed me a court order to search my place and they did so. They took as far as I remember, two of my computers and lots of documents.

Today the site is for sale at sedo, the end of an era.

Bye Suprnova.
