I have a need to be anonymous, and make a anonymous purchase. The business accepts bitcoin.

From my question, it will be obvious I'm in america.

I see I can buy bitcoins via a deposit at a Bank of America branch, or other banks now as well. My problem is this. The last time I cashed a check at a megabank without a account there, that was written from their bank, they recorded a thumbprint.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Furthermore, this is a po-dunk town. The twelve year old twits they call employees would talk all day about that customer that made the "special" deposit. Especially if they had a clue what bitcoin was. I know it's illegal, I know its against bank policy, but I still call bullshit. People talk. You would not believe the medical information I have heard people talk about, HIPPA be damned. Do not for a minute think your banking information is any more private. It isn't.

But I would like the convienence of just making a deposit. The postal service has burned me before, I don't trust mail. And when you mail a money order, you wait. And hopefully get lucky and see a deposit.

Do any of you know the policy of Bank of America deposits to the bitcoin exchanges? Do they take a thumbprint? Do they demand photo ID?

And shame on this forum for blocking TOR. I'm trying to be MORE anonymous, not less.
