I believe it was one known node, but who knows if that's even the case anymore. Personally, I wouldn't do anything illegal on Tor to begin with so it's ultimately just a layer of security and a bit of enthusiast level fun.
I haven't been on any Tor adventures for the last 10 or so years though so things may have changed.
People should always remember that the core principles and code came from the U.S. Naval Research Lab, though the Tor Project is not officially affiliated in any capacity to the best of my limited knowledge -- does not mean there aren't unofficial affiliations.
