An hour or so after it went down, Rick Collins posted on his Facebook to call him if you've been arrested.
Wow guys, they are really making it tough for you in the US.
But don't worry brothers, the US makes good money from drugs and firearms on the black market. Most of the illegal shit circulating your streets come straight from the government.
You see, money the government gets from taxes and legal stuff, is distributed (let's say, for example, to 3 groups).
Now every group needs to explain where the money they got went to.
If one of the groups wants to do something unconventional, or under the radar, (or let's say group 1 wants to pay for a propaganda against group 2), they can't do it with that "white" money.
Remember, black money goes to black projects and operations. This means that with this money, projects of private rich people can be executed through the tools of the government…. Sick.
This is no conspiracy theories bros, that’s life.
In fact, I am pretty sure that if this wasn't the case, AAS would have been legal and marry-jane would have been legalized in all countries way back.
As always, it's all money, money, money.
The sad part is that it's the end users (you guys, from the US), that get all the shit (intended for media propaganda).
Sorry for my stupid ass English mates, I'm sure that if I had to write this in my native language it would of make more sense and seemed less of a conspiracy theory.
Cobra,
You are right, TOR isn't perfect. That said they did not locate him from his TOR account (as it can't be traced), they tracked the money. That is why BITCOIN has a lot of new apps through TOR to prevent seeing what amounts go to whom.
I do agree that the gov't will get you if they want to. Key is to remain small enough to not make it worth their time, and smart enough not to be the "low hanging fruit."
I think as of right now, Bitcoin is the weakest link in the OPSEC if everything else is done right. When you start messing around with buying coins with a card and your name gets put in that blockchain, its harder to stay anonymous. Im lucky enough to live 5 minutes from a bitcoin ATM that takes cash....
Tor... Lol... That is your safety net? Ha
Yes, isn't it a hassle to withdraw cash from your bank's ATM then go to that bitcoin ATM? In the name of anonymity that's the price to pay for keeping anonymous. I know buying bitcoin with a card is convenient but the privacy hit is big.
I was told to get throw away wallets
