4  Bitcoin / Press / 2013-10-30 Someone found the FBI's Bitcoin wallet on: October 30, 2013, 06:23:18 AM
http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/4/4803732/someone-found-the-fbis-bitcoin-wallet-silk-road

When the FBI seize took control of the digital black market Silk Road, it also seized control of a bunch of money: about 26,000 bitcoins, a virtual currency that approximates cash on the internet. Bitcoins are worth about $122 each, which means the government is sitting on a pretty pile of cash. So why are enraged users sending the federal agency Bitcoin donations?

It's possible to attach text to Bitcoin transactions using the site Blockchain.info, where messages are streamed for the public to view. It's not hard to locate a single wallet with so many coins, and someone has already renamed the FBI's wallet "Silkroad Seized Coins." Users are now sending microdonations ranging from .000001 BTC to .0001 BTC, which are worth fractions of a penny, but really serve as the vehicle for messages.

http://readwrite.com/2013/10/08/bitcoin-probably-gets-its-value-from-illicit-use#awesm=~olJf93Y1j5jz40

Bitcoin's drop following the Silk Road shutdown suggests that illicit activity exerts a non-negligible influence on Bitcoin value.

The anonymous crypto-currency’s value dropped suddenly last Wednesday after federal law enforcement agencies shuttered Silk Road, an online black market used to buy and sell illegal drugs with Bitcoins. According to Mt. Gox, one of the most popular Bitcoin exchange services, the value of the virtual currency plunged from $140 to $129 the day Silk Road closed down. Trading volume in Bitcoin simultaneously skyrocketed.
6  Bitcoin / Press / 2013-10-30 Bitcoin sinks in value after FBI busts Silk Road drug market on: October 30, 2013, 05:46:36 AM
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/10/02/us-crime-silkroad-bitcoin-idUKBRE99113A20131002

Supporters say using bitcoins offers benefits including lower fraud risk and increased privacy, though critics argue the anonymity it offers makes the currency a magnet for drug transactions, money-laundering and other illegal activities.

The digital currency's drop came after the FBI arrested alleged Silk Road owner Ross William Ulbricht, 29, known as "Dread Pirate Roberts," on Tuesday in San Francisco.
