NOWAI?

Thats not how a plea bargain works BTW. A plea agreement/bargain is a deal for a lesser sentence/fine if you agree to plea guilty so that the fed's don't have to prove you are guilty & a long trial can be avoided.

What a coincidence that this moron is posting his FUD also in all Ripple thread.

Trying to pump the Ripple prices?

You are so blatantly failing that you do not even need to be banned.

BE SAFE OUT THERE. I AM NOT SUGGESTING PEOPLE USE RIPPLE. USE A BRAINWALLET. BUT RIPPLE IS NOT AFFECTED.

The forum is logging all access to bitcointalk as well as numerous community sites, including bitcoin.org.
Yo, so what.

This is because the Federal Reserve is about to announce a bitcoin confiscation similar to the closure of the gold window decades earlier. The Department of Homeland Security will knock on the doors of people who have accessed bitcoin related sites multiple times, or is an active user.
I give you 2/10

I have recently became aware that Michael Marquardt, the forum administrator known as theymos, is under a confidential plea bargain (assisting another to retain the benefit of crime; acquiring, possession and use of criminal proceeds). The forum is logging all access to bitcointalk as well as numerous community sites, including bitcoin.org. This is because the Federal Reserve is about to announce a bitcoin confiscation similar to the closure of the gold window decades earlier. The Department of Homeland Security will knock on the doors of people who have accessed bitcoin related sites multiple times, or is an active user.

Be safe and use a brainwallet! This message will be deleted soon because of Michael Marquardt's plea agreement, however spread the word.

CHEN, THE CHINESE RELIC DEALER IS NOT ONLY RETURNING ALL OF BITCOINICA'S FUNDS, BUT PAYING EVERY SATOSHI THAT WAS SCAMMED MY OTHER ENTITIES TO THOSE WHO LOST OUT. SIMPLY FILE A CLAIM, AND PROVIDE A BITCOIN OR RIPPLE WALLET TO RECEIVE YOUR LOST COINS.

I suspect RIpple would probably be affected sooner than bitcoin in general. Since it is new it might take time to get attention, but given its centralized nature ripple would probably be very vulnerable to three letter agencies.

Out of jurisdiction
Furthermore our Canadian regulator will not comply to the US legislation if it takes effect pursuant to the legal regulations regarding MSB reporting with bitcoin as cited from this article in PCWorld that can be supplemented with other sources
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2039347/canadian-regulator-takes-lighter-view-of-bitcoin.html
The regulators however will target American companies that do not comply with MSB registration meaning future industries might move to Canada to operate instead of the US

It would be foolish not to assume that all website activity is not logged on any web site visited whether it is the case or not.

And if there is one silver lining to the absolutely appalling level of theft and loss which permeates the Bitcoin ecosystem it is that it provides a very robust level of plausible deniability should anyone come looking for a person's BTC :)

It's true, with a handful of people on this forum having proof.
