Humans with an obnoxious appetite for money

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.

This happens in Texas daily. Cops use the "War on Drugs" as an excuse to seize innocent people's money. Then when they try to recover the money, it is stuck in bs government red tape. This should be considered a crime if you ask me. I couldn't get away with forcing someone to give me their money, why should the cops get a free pass?
