I need some advice. I want to open a LR account, use anarcho47 ( http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=1066.0 ) method of pulling out some BTC's. Anarcho47 states that once you end up with your tumbled funds at LR, they will send you a CC. I have PM'ed you as well Anarcho47 since I figure you will know.
This sounds great but don't I lose my anonymity providing LR with my real info? Next, you need an exchanger like Mt Gox and I certainly have heard not use real info there either. My first thought is use fake info at LR, but then if they send a CC, I have to use it with another persons name on it. Not a problem most places and certainly not if withdraw from an ATM using a PIN#. But to get that CC, they will need a mailing addy at a minimum.
How do folks handle this and is LR really that tight to let my personal info into their hands?
Peace PK

I would'nt trust it....

You could do the same as you do as buyer on SR, get a dead mailbox or fake some.
This could give you an anonymous access to LR, even with having the CC.

Four words: Step The Fuck Away Fast! :o OK that's five words, and here's some more besides...
LR are nothing but trouble. I tried to use this method and it is a MAJOR threat to your anonymity and your personal bank account.
The main problem with LR is they are not a one-stop-shop. You'll need to get an 'exchange' account from a 3rd party, a list of whom LR provide, but look closely at where they are based! Russia, Nigeria, China, etc.
I tried to use one wallet/exchanger supposedly from New Zealand (they were actually based in no less than 2 other 'tax haven' countries).
They took over 2 days to get back to me and then demanded I provide scans of my CC and drivers license (front and back, both cards) I don't fucking think I'm so inclined to be so stupid!
Since by now they had some 'start up' funds and my CC merchant details in escrow, I had no choice but to contact my CC company and ask them to suspend my account on the grounds of potential fraudulent activity. A major pain in the arse that took weeks to resolve -and I was without my favorite card during this time.
LR and 'friends' are not recommended unless you like giving money away to 3rd world scammers. Stick to the methods described elsewhere in these forums for getting your BTC.
