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.

Assuming he still has a stash or two, he'll be set up real nice after this 2 year stint. Not supporting the sentence but trying to look on the bright side.

American judiciary thinks Bitcoin is a danger against controlling money laundering and drug traffic. So that's a clear message to Bitcoin Community as Shrem's lawyer said. That seems bad for the future that we're expected.

Another great mind and entrepreneur locked up.  Disgusting.

And people wonder why the USA is sinking.

So that's why all those HSBC execs that helped drug cartels launder billions are all in jail now? Right.

That's the bad part. It's not enforcing the laws, it's selectively enforcing them that is offensive.
