In some places simply logging into SR or TA would be illegal, but in many it would not be unless you wre involved in a transaction. It probably would be viewed with suspicion unless you had a really good explanation and even then it would still be viewed with suspicion. Still, you can't be charged in most places (i.e. western liberal democracies) with being someone the police don't like.You can be charged in US because once you open a buyer/vendor account, technically you are a member of a continuing criminal enterprise.Ah, that's interesting. I'm more familiar with the laws in my own jurisdiction which clearly isn't the United States (my spelling of certain things should've already been a dead giveaway on that count).Quote from: Brave New World on July 19, 2012, 02:51 pmAlso, conspiracy charges could stick once you and vendor begin to negotiate terms of a sale, agree on those terms, and then transfer bitcoins to your account. At that point you have already committed conspiracy to commit Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, drug trafficking.What would US law say regarding an individual who wasn't involved in any transactions, but was providing advice on a particular topic to both buyers and vendors? A topic which, in and of itself is not illegal to instruct people in, but which could be inferred to be directly used to facilitate a crime (i.e. how to use GPG properly).Quote from: Brave New World on July 19, 2012, 02:51 pmA jury may desire more evidence from the prosecutors to convict, but those Feds could charge one with those facts alone.Obtaining those facts, however, is very difficult due to the right security precautions.Which is one reason why we're all trying to be fairly careful.Quote from: Brave New World on July 19, 2012, 02:51 pmWith that being said, simply browsing the Road menu will not get you charged with any crime but technically speaking, it can because you have to become a member.Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
