In a magnificent show of technical ineptitude, today the U.S. Marshals revealed the identities of many anonymous bidders in its $18 million seized Silk Road Bitcoin auction by CC’ing them on an email thread. When one asked a question, the response was sent to 40 of the bidders, many whose names were attached or easily identifiable from their addresses, negating the whole point of the auction being anonymous. Smooth, government.

Damn that was a big mistake made by them, i guess we can all now see who has the money in their hands waiting for auction. I can bet that some of the names could be related to politics. Bad, bad bad!

There is a chance that the auction will be either cancelled or postponed as a result of this. Also, I am certain that a number of participants are going to pull out of the auction all together.
