A customs officer knew how to deep web and to bitcoins :-[ Title: Re: Silk Road Busted? Post by: acoindr on July 11, 2012, 09:08:11 PM Why would you think "busted"?
The more media attention the more it grows. Title: Re: Silk Road Busted? Post by: hazek on July 11, 2012, 09:14:55 PM Please change the title of this thread to something more sensible like "A Silk road user busted?"

I didn't even began to look at it ^ I'll take rjk's words. Title: Re: Silk Road Busted? Post by: PatrickHarnett on July 12, 2012, 12:54:44 AM Maybe it'll push the local price of coins up to irrational levels again.
I'd better go and top it up. Edit: Someone took all my NZD$9 coins, so NZD9.50 now (around USD7.60) Title: Re: Silk Road Busted? Post by: BrightAnarchist on July 12, 2012, 02:15:44 AM speaking of NZD, I carried around a bunch of NZ cash just for fun for nearly a decade, funny thing is that when I finally exchanged it back to USD I had actually made a profit
Title: Re: Silk Road Busted? Post by: kiba on July 12, 2012, 02:17:08 AM This is an uninteresting thread because they did not capture a silk road drug dealer, but a silk road user.
