Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Read whole document. It's pretty simple.
1. Charlie Ignored his own company's AML policy and didn't notified US Govt because he was getting good gains from deals with BTCKing guy.
2. Charlie knew BTCking was selling coins on silkroad and used his company to receive cash from silkroad users, He banned BTCking's email and asked him to make a new once to continue his reselling services on silkroad. When Other co founder asked him to ban btckin, charles defended btcking and said "we make good profit from him".

Unlikely, what with New York possibly legalizing MJ soon. |

What a pile of drivel. Nobody in their right mind would produce that much repetitive text.
Infact, it reminded me why bitcoin was created in the first place

Do you need to read every single law in the US to know that most of them violate human rights?
|
Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

-The Silk Road allegation is ridiculous, as they can't be held responsible for how people spend their bitcoin anymore than a bank teller can be held responsible for how someone spends cash.
This is all meant to SCARE YOU. Is it working?
I think that bank tellers do have a burden of responsibility to make sure that the person they are giving 20k in cash is not a drug dealer or terrorist. If they think you are, or might be, they go and get a manager, who then might ask more questions. The only thin Shem did wrong is that he was arrogant and stupid. |
Those who hold and those who are without property have ever formed distinct interests in society

I just read it and its still bullshit.
-There are no money transmitting LAWS that apply to bitcoin. For that to be the case, Congress would have had to write bitcoin legislation since its 2009 - it hasn't. Title 31 wasn't about bitcoin when it was written and it still isn't. Trading money for bitcoin is no more illegal than trading money for sandwiches.
Money laundering is laundering no matter what medium you use. That may or may not be true (IANAFPOSL) depending in part on whether you believe that the letter of the original law and the endlessly building and changing regulations is all that matters. But, you if were alive in the 80s when they erected these "anti-money laundering laws" (AMLs), coining the phrase "money laundering", they promised, so help them God, that they would only use them to pursue "drug kingpins". I ask the very simple question. Is Shem a "drug kingpin"? If you are not "laundering" money you earned sellings drugs, then what evil are you committing? That said, I have not yet, but plan to read the complaint. |

That said, I have not yet, but plan to read the complaint. One of the US AML nuances says, not literally: the act of sending money (monetary instrument or funds) outside the US border to promote a crime IS money laundering. I don't agree at all with this, but as you can see, according to the Law, ML is much more than what one usually thinks. And in that case, it's not required for the money to be a proceed of a crime.. nonsense, but that's the way it is. What they try to demonstrate in the indictment is that he knew the (monetary instrument or funds) was going to be used to promote a crime (buying drugs in SR). Interesting to understand if bitcoins can qualify, according to laws, as monetary instrument or funds. |
