Honey Pot on Silk Road.....
Watch out!

This isn't a popular viewpoint here, but in my opinion the faster Silk Road collapses the better. We don't need any of this crap tied to Bitcoin.

What I wanna know is:
Are they going to auction those bitcoins off at some federal property auction?
That should be good for some publicity....

For any currency that's at least as viable as cash, this kind of thing is inevitable. Maybe killing Silk Road would be a good sign, but it's kind of worrying for a currency that another won't pop up. I just hope the US would let us off with AML compliance of MtGox...
