When your dope dealer gets popped before delivering your dope, tell the cops you want your money back. Make sure 2 "send a lawyer letter" first, so they'll know you're insane a real badass who knows shit & not somebody to f8ck with.
You know, people also sold video cards, olive oil, fake sunglasses and watches (for those who can't afford the real thing).
I understand that 80% or more of the traffic were crack heads or something. However, there were some otherwise legit folks who lost coins on SR. Not drug dealers, not drug users (probably) - people who were using an open and free market to peddle things that they believed were worth something.
I'm not naive. We all know you would go to SR to buy meth (or whatever). I'm just saying that there were a minority of people who got pwned by the seizure. I feel especially sorry for that one vendor who sold encrypted devices. He made tons of BTC (and not a drop illegal)
The amount of sales/traffic for "legal" items on SR1 was much less then 80%,it was probably closer to 8% if that much.
The vast majority of the activity on SR1 was of illegal nature.
I really don't see the connection between the coins seized from SR and the GOX victims. They are two very different entities and IMO it is unlikely that the missing GOX coins were being held by Ross, nor silk road. Additionally it is likely that most of Gox's creditor's are not US citizens nor reside in the US so I don't see any reason why the US government would be giving that much money to foreign nationals who may have never even been to the US.
Your logic is very similar to that of Robin Hood
