The above is simply not true.Mt.Gox has no reason to freeze your account or ask you to verify your identity before releasing your funds unless they suspect you of money laundering or financing terrorism. Accessing Mt.Gox via TOR puts you under suspicion of money laundering as it falls foul of their anti money laundering policies (due to a lack of a verifiable IP address.) However, accessing it using a VPN will allow you to bypass this problem and move your funds around anonymously. It must also be stated that you won't have to provide ID for withdrawals under 200 BTC; note, however, that in Mt.Gox's terms & conditions they do state that you can be asked to provide identification at any time, without being given a reason. This is not to say that you WILL be, only that you MAY be.You can read up on the Mt.Gox AML / KYC process here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86224.0;allWere you to use Mt.Gox, as your main goal is staying anonymous you should only access it using a VPN. Set up and access a Mt.Gox account through this and ensure you keep all withdrawals < 200 BTC. When you receive your Bitcoin run them through a tumbler such as Bitcoin Fog for 7 days, in various amounts, ensuring your anonymity and severing the link between the original Bitcoin you bought and the Bitcoin you spend on Silk Road.However, as BigEasy mentioned there are plenty of other ways to obtain Bitcoin anonymously and without the risk of Mt.Gox asking you to submit identification.- grahamgreene
