Not worth reading. It's a paragraph of FUD followed by a page of fluff.

If its true, then it poses a big problem, this is something that should not be able to happen with bitcoin.

quickly sell your bitcoin and put the money in a bank account so that the feds can't touch it!

So much FUD...

What happened to Gold 2.0?  Skipping versions, I guess...

And if they find one, they lock on to you, because statistically, if you were in Liberty Reserve or using a lot of anonymous money, you were probably doing something wrong.

Well, according to a (voluntary) survey (http://simulacrum.cc/2013/02/26/the-demographics-of-bitcoin-part-1/) of Bitcoin users, statistically you are more likely to have given to a charity with bitcoin than to have bought narcotics.  If "doing something wrong" now includes giving to charities, the world is screwed...  :-\

I'm going to assume that is sarcasm there...

Important quote to note:

Quote
Calls to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Silicon Valley Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (SVRCFL) seeking confirmation of the Bitcoin wallet searches went unreturned by press time.

= FUD

Lol, he actually said the NEXT Gold 3.0 -  so I guess he means Gold 4.0.

I wonder what happened to the current Gold 3.0.

They also say Liberty Reserve was one of the first exchanges to convert $ to bitcoins and vice versa - That's news to me  ???
