Thoughts?

There's always been the debate as to whether tumbling matters at all, maybe this will change some people's minds?

I'm not sure either way, but it's interesting that they're researching this, because it could be of interest to other LEA as well.

Damn LE, always putting their pig snouts where they don't belong.

Will they be consulting with the current authority on blockchain investigations, /u/Vendor_BBMC ?

We need Zerocoin ASAP.

I guess tumblers are going to become a necessity now. Damn.

This is why grams is best. they send you the equivalent of different bitcoins than the ones you gave them.

Cause I'm sure they'll analyze it, find out I bought a personal amount of weed, take the time to prove it, get my local pd involved, and come arrest me.

I mean we all knew this was going to happen but realistically they can't arrest all of us. Anyone who gets arrested will be worth LEs time and resources as always. There are God damn thousands and thousands of transactions anyway.

I wouldn't worry about it because they don't have control over the blockchain.. too fucking Honey Boo-hoo-hoo bad.
