Yeah, you are quite late to the party. It was posted a few days ago and discussed.

Ok thanks. I was confused why I didn't see a thread about it on the first page.  I guess the mainstream media is just reporting it late and I need to check here more for my timely bitcoin news.

11BTC big deal. Must be linked to the Mexican cartel.

Note the part in that article where he freely gave his home address away while using his SR Vendor account to buy himself drugs. Surprised they gave him bail, guess he's only facing minor charges

If;
1ETDwGUC1Q was his address, and the DEA took his 11.02 BTC here, then WTF is happening here?

Not creating a buyers account & not setting up a auxiliary drop box is a result of pure laziness.

This will continue to happen if people are careless, and stupid. 

A couple months ago someone wanting to buy BTC with cash contacted me through localbitcoins and I googled their username, naturally, which turned out to be the same username they were using on the SR forums talking about their business endeavors.

lol - You're the Lead Core Bitcoin Developer. It took me a minute to get it. You should put Jacketed Lead Core Bitcoin Developer.

On topic: That's pretty stupid. Why wouldn't they always use different names? That's the kind of person that gets busted.

How the hell they could have seized bitcoins

[legitnick]

The point of this is, even the DEA is forced to accept Bitcoins value.

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- what the Hell IS happening there?

The DEA has a coin vault? Or they actually just outright sold the coins? Are they actually already engaging in entrapment on SR?

i guess if i was the DEA i'd be buying drugs on SR to try and get people for more BTC

i don't know if that's how it works but i imagine they do whatever they want and ask for permission later

Oh come on dude, you know the DEA has to have a honeypot set up at SR. It's perfect for them like an "all you can eat buffet" is perfect for a fat bitch. What a great lazy way to bust people. Sell some fake dope, ship a package, track the shipment, pounce, eat donuts to celebrate.

Since when do they bother trying to catch end-users of drugs? On SR, the buyers shouldn't have any useful info on sellers, so Idunno how the DEA could justify spending time there. The DEA might be able to find which post offices the biggest sellers are using, but so what?

Selling on SR is pretty close to the perfect crime... right up until you confess by giving away info.

Because they are lazy pieces of crap that want to tally up convictions to look good/justify their jobs.

Yes, please tell us about your experience with working for the DEA.

Because it sounds to me that you're making a bunch of assumptions based off movies you've seen about how they go about their jobs.
