Would you take legal action if the result was you get 10-20 years in federal prison for money laundering ?
And then when you get out the IRS is going to want your ass for tax evasion. Oh, not to worry, they'll just tack that on in the initial indictment. I'm waiting for the Bitcoin venture which gets hit with RICO charges (I know money laundering is a predicate offence for RICO in the US). I have no idea how big an operation needs to be before it attracts that kind of investigation, though.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

Don't worry guys you can make your money back very quick. Black Pearl Investments shall provide a much bigger return than pirate ever could.
Watch this space.
Impressive puppetry. Not a single post in Newbie. Yeah, how come? Someone let the account out as soon as it was created. I have my suspicions, but as it was a joke, no need to be pointing fingers.

I think people have started deleting their Newbie posts once they're whitelisted.
Ah indeed. Forgot to check creation time. May 04, 2012, 09:44:40 AM Forget I mentioned it. Unless that can be snookered easily? (like, say, by changing your system date) Edit: Yeah, my bad. This is an account that's been cleaned out for this, all previous posts deleted. That doesn't change the posting stats, though, so it leaves a little dust in the corners, so to speak. So, bottom line, prolly still a puppet, but not necessarily indicative of mod/admin having fun.

I suspect that your local county police department isn't who investigates racketeering, money laundering, etc. I'm quite sure that the bodies who do investigate such matters would have anonymous tip-off procedures in place. That said, because of resource constraints there's probably a threshold for investigation - either a dollar value or the possibility of connection to bigger operations. It's known that certain US agencies are aware of the potential for Bitcoin to be used for money laundering, so it's possible that they would investigate any allegations in an effort to forestall Bitcoin becoming an entrenched method of money laundering (most financial intelligence services monitor emerging money laundering threats). If the IRS in the US is anything like the Australian Taxation Office, they investigate pretty much all allegations of tax evasion. There's inevitably going to be an investigation into a criminal use of Bitcoin sooner or later. There's no real way to tell what particular venture will trigger that and whether it will be initiated externally or by pissed of Bitcoin users who've lost money and are seeking retribution rather than restitution.

- Man, I hate how I have to pay taxes over my dollars, fees to the bank, how I can't do anything without the IRS knowing it... I wish I could be free of all that! + Hey, you should bitcoin! It is anonymous, fully in your own control, no fees that you don't choose to pay and no one will bother you with all their rules. - Wow, awesome, I'll get started!
... several days and a 2Gb blockchain download and a ponzi later....
- What the fuck, this guy ran away with all my money, he's refusing to pay it back and nobody knows who he is! I'm going to call the police, give them all the info I have and hope they can trace him down, get the IRS and the feds on his back and make the government apply all their rules to him!

Doesn't it have a MARKET VALUE ? ...COMMODITY ?

I dunno, does the Grain Elevator Co-Op owner promise to increase the grain I deposit by 7% PER WEEK without disclosing where the grains comes from, with calculations showing that in 2 months from now the Grain Elevator Co-Op owner will owe more grain then there could possibly ever be on the whole planet?
