Not simple if the victim can't trust the escrow operator with their life.

Are we saying Proudhon is the llama, or the guy in the commercial is Proudhon and he brought his llama along?

"5 winners, 9 to go"
Should read "14 winners, 0 to go".
And the topic subject should be changed to [Closed], then topic-locked.

That's what I feel like submitting since I've gotten zero from submitting after this epic fail of an OP.

Selling BTC for fiat will be defined as money laundering by totalitarians if it isn't already.
Not in the USA, FINCen just said it was not an action even requiring one to register. Government says a lot of things, and does a lot of other things. |

The site looks cool. But there must be a feature like, if someone order anything from classifieds, the funds must go to escrow, and then once the seller fulfill, it gets released, so that 0% scam  . Im pretty sure it has escrow built in otherwise op should probably update his wordpress template to the latest classified theme version. You transfer in btc and the seller is shipped the good.. funds are released manually by admin. As we saw in the final days of Bitmit, escrow was still scammed so badly, that it took the scammer to execute the refund.
You don't need escrow if you are doing a face to face transaction, like BC is structured for.

But what if Shrem knew it to not only be illegal but Shrem's lawyer told Shrem to ban the guy because it was illegal?
Oy Vey. What if, what if... whaat iiiif? I think de gubmint must first establish that 'it' (presumably BTCKing selling XBT for FRN) is illegal. I think this is already a stretch goal. Ever sell bitcoins for cash, Goat? (Don't answer that, just think about whether you might have once found yourself in an instance where you might) Sketchy website or not, I don't think this is, in and of itself, illegal. He is not being charged with selling BTC for fiat. He is being charged with money laundering. Selling BTC for fiat will be defined as money laundering by totalitarians if it isn't already. |

Other than bumming sharpies, maybe that whole section needs to be bought out next SB, and everyone dresses in black or white, and the mob forms a massive QR code of clothing with a coordinator on the opposite side.

I see some kind of Asian language (could have been sharpied on white shirts), a Canada flag (non sequitur), numbers, and dead center the white banner seems to have a Seahawks logo on it. Still, they're all "prohibited" banners/signs/flags and security is RIGHT THERE.

This is where it gets interesting. This man was in the UK and his dominant market was the EU.
As far as I know the sale of drug paraphenalia is not prohibited in the UK I'm no lawyer however and his business was registered and fully tax-compliant.
Why would US law apply to this?
Why would the US have grounds to seize assets from a legal UK business just because said business is illegal in the US?
(hypothetically) If the reason for the seizure is that its illegal for a non-us citizen to export these products to the US - even though it's perfectly legal to "export" drugs to the US from certain countries, it is however illegal for the other party to "import" them - then shouldn't the burden of proof be put on the US authorities to prove that all of the $95k were proceeds from exporting goods to the US? I don't think they have the right to just seize the whole lot. Thats like the US seizing my bank accounts and house for exporting a $0.50 packet of rolling papers to the US, they should have to account for the amount that were illegal proceeds.
About the $95k figure, PlutoPete was a mega-seller - in the top 100 on SR by sales volume and he was a seller on SR for many years. The funds were also worth 9x less at the time of seizure as mentioned.
Fruit of the poison tree. Silk Road was unlawful from the get-go. The vendor was a part of the mechanism that allowed Silk Road to commit crime and profit. Does not help that vendor sold drug novelty and usage items to users in a drug market where there is a high likelihood they would use them with the other drugs they purchased there. The jump is a baby step. What they want does not pass the normal rational person test. I do not think it means what you think it means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_poisonous_treeAs long as Silk Road allowed 100% legal worldwide items, any lawful seller is only guilty by association, which is an indefensible totalitarian term. How long until every lawful seller on craigslist needs to fear prosecution for guilt by association, then? |

Until 100% of the bottom 90% get 100% tax refunds, the test will never begin.
