I'm not so sure I would. As it is, they're a bit famous, and completely pre-laundered (for some definition of "clean").Title: Re: U.S. Marshal auctioning off 29,656.51306529 bitcoins Post by: solid12345 on June 14, 2014, 03:23:30 AM Whoever wins the coins is going to be a major venture capitalist with absolutely no interest in dumping or laundering money. How many neckbeards have 200 grand lying around just to even register to bid?

I'm not so sure I would. As it is, they're a bit famous, and completely pre-laundered (for some definition of "clean").But your identity would be associated with those specific coins. I believe that the US marshals need to disclose the name of the person who buys property at auction.

Even bad publicity.

Even bad publicity. Bad publicity is generally not good for something like Bitcoin. I would not say that this would be bad publicity. It is not any different then the publicity that real estate would get from an announcement that a house is being sold by the US Marshals, only that most people know what real estate is, most people don't know what bitcoin is.

Even bad publicity. This would be good news as it brings more public awareness about Bitcoin Title: Re: U.S. Marshal auctioning off 29,656.51306529 bitcoins Post by: illymoka on June 16, 2014, 08:20:00 AM Makes me wonder if the US marshals secretly auction off illegal drugs.
