Online Drug Market Evolution Disappears with Over $12 Million in Bitcoin

[Harry3]

[QUOTE=Sableye;47350026]the more important question is why when we know the [B]NSA litterally knows and records everything that happens online[/B], are you even trusting an online drug dealer[/QUOTE]

Even if that were true, they would need hundreds of thousands of staff to constantly monitor all the information they collected.

I know people who say "Oh no the NSA are looking at my porn collection" usually get dumbs or funnys on here but seriously, if you think theyre concentrating their resources on a guy buying a single gram of coke instead of potential security threats you are severely mistaken.

I am shocked and appalled that the operator of an illegal online drug market would do such a thing. I am also shocked and appalled people actually trusted them enough to act as an escrow service.

Take 1 down, 4 more pop up. There's no stopping the use of illicit drugs, the only reasonable solution is to have the state produce, regulate, and sell the drugs.

What I don't understand is how they gain that much money [i]from[/i] users. I assume they act as the middle man between bitcoin addresses, allowing them to amass wealth from escrow or whatever.

Why would anyone ever trust another site to hold on to their money? I don't even trust PayPal to do that. Into the bank it goes.

There should be a direct transaction system, and money for transactions shouldn't be held by the arbiter. That would solve these "running away with bajillions of buttcoin" issues.

There [i]is[/i] a direct transaction system. People [i]voluntarily[/i] use escrow services because when you're using a payment system as completely insecure as Bitcoin, if your seller isn't trustworthy they can just disappear with the money and you will never, ever have any hope whatsoever of getting it back.

Sites like this are meant to be the safe alternative, the services that make Bitcoin reliable as an online currency. Stories like this make people think twice.
