Post by: Peter Lambert on October 08, 2013, 06:10:09 PM Bitcoins are great for money laundering, or so people keep claiming.

Quote even if the feds have a pretty good idea what they’d do with the bitcoins today, they can’t move until the Silk Road case is decided. That could take years, So those coins are in lockdown for a long time? That sounds bullish to me, it means those coins are not on the market.
