When I first got on the tor, bitcoins were ten bucks if I remember right. During the first silk road. Now I feel stupid for not mining, seeing how much they're worth now. "Back in my day!!!"

Pssshhhtt Sheep Market. :D

I remember TFM, liberty reserve, pecunix, btc for about or under (I'm think 30 cents) a dollar (damn, talk about missed chances), and buying shrooms from the guy that started SR1.

I remember OVDB, and enylsion. :/

Yeah, I remember it. I stayed up for 4 or 5 days.

My 0.7 btc (about $700 at the time) paid for that gate and letterbox. But they also put the fat bastard in jail. He was really blase with the 96,000 bitcoins, it was days before he decided to tumble them to shake me off.

It didn't work, I followed them to BTCe, and I guess that's where the Czech police worked back to a 96,000 btc deposit.

I think gwern doxxed him, amongst others.

I learned a lot from that. If you see the money being moved out into the first wallet and make a record of it, you can go back and work of the blockchain forensics at your leisure.

If ever a marketplace accepts deposits but won't ;let you withdraw - deposit a few cents and make a note. It will surely end up in the thief's wallet.

Have you noticed that marketplace admins always have girlfriends who are too fit for them?

How is it possible for LE to find this chap, if they can find him is everyone traceable, or was this brought to light through abnormal bitcoin transactions, even so how can that show DM involvement
