I would not try to login, they would have your IP address. Just consider that site dead.
No need to worry to much. I'll bet hundreds of thousands of people go on that site everyday. So your IP would be just one out of countless others. Besides, browsing the site is not illegal.

The Asian Backpage ads will now migrate to Singtao. The non Asian ads will be on NOW Toronto and Toronto Sun.

When bp was busted couple years ago, I think there was another site they made right after.. anyone r ...
Its totally different this time around.
BP was never "busted" couple years ago. What happened was the government tried to "convince" (under threats of legal action) them to shut down their adult classified section. When that didn't work out the government sued them and which they fought and dragged out in court. Then the government used other tactics such as getting credit card companies to stop accepting payment that goes to BP.
This time they are bringing out the big guns. The FBI actually arrested the owners (which never happened to them before) from their homes, and confiscated all their computers and server equipment from their offices, and shut down all websites under their ownership. The BP owners are now held in custody without bail for charges of knowingly aiding and facilitating child prostitution and human trafficking. So its quite certain they will not be making any other websites any time soon.
This is a lesson of how ego and greed leads to downfall.
The government doesn't really want to go through all this trouble to put them in jail. If they had only known to quit while they were ahead, they should have heeded the government's "advice" to shut down and be able to keep the money they've already made while remaining free men.
One cannot hope to fight the government and win. Its not impossible but the odds are astronomically stacked against you.
I read they moved all their homes and a fair share of their assets under their wives names prior. I saw some ads today on craigslist. Not sure where else they will go now.
