ITGWRC, somebody with a monicker very similar to "alllove" on SR1 got into the business of selling BTC via cash-in-mail. The account went into vacation mode sometime after that, which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one. (Free clue to those hoping to become vendors: try hard not to give people your mailing address as it can be used to identify you).

The Grand Wizard cannot say for sure this is the person, but if so it would be a case of LE picking off some very, very low-hanging fruit.

SugarMama? Random BTC vendor I'm thinking of.

Upon further reflection the Grand Wizard is pretty certain that alllove was the safety-unconscious vendor in question. We remember SugarMama although we never did business with her. She had a pretty good rep and was active on the SR forums. This was an entirely different and far dumber person (who, to give credit where credit is due, also had some half-decent hash).

There was a vendor on SR1 for a while doing cash/gdmp for BTC with an exchange rate that when you factored in the SR commission meant they would be loosing roughly 8% per sale, they were the top listed vendor under 'money' for a while. most obvious honeypot imo

[–]CumberlandGap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall, they were the top seller under money for a while though and it sketched me the fuck out, cause gdmp is obviously traceable to the card used to cash it out. their justification for the below market rate was that they were employed to acquire a large amount of btc anonymously and were willing to take a hit in order to do so, seemed sketch though because at the time you could do $40,000 cash trades over localbitcoins and nobody would bat an eye
