Title: Liberty Reserve
Post by: getm0n3y on May 25, 2013, 09:04:00 AM
Heard the owner got arrested in Costa Rica so the whole site is down. Does anyone know of a good site so I can exchange for bitcoins

If you're looking to buy bitcoins, then Try BtcQuick, they allow you to buy bitcoins with a Debit or Credit card.  

For standard Bank wires I imagine any of the exchanges, like Mt.Gox, would work for you as well.

This is sad LR is a great site. I used it more often. Is paypal lobbying to kill its competitions?

How ironic that it used the word LIBERTY and yet they were doing some pretty bad things. Child porn? wow...

If you're dealing in dollars/euros, you have to play by their rules.
