This video goes over a handful of arrests of Tor users. I go over the arrests, how they were de-anonymized and what you can do to stay anonymous. The majority of arrests are due to human error, like being caught by the postal service for shipping drugs, however some of the busts actually used exploits and attacks to de-anonymize a user.

Checkout the first video for more information

You can read more about the cases and see others that I left out in my blog post here: http://se.azinstall.net/2016/08/how-tor-users-got-caught-part-2-cliff.html
In the video I go over a handful of cases and explain what happened. The vast majority of cases are human error, telling someone or selling drugs via the postal service however there are other cases where users have been de-anonymized via operations like Operation Onymous where malicious relays were set up and through other attacks users IP addresses and servers were discovered. The last case goes over the investigation process that police follow to discover someone. It is a good example of how well you need to cover your tracks because it only takes one piece of evidence to unravel everything.
