What kind of weird fuckers get off on shit like that man? law enforcement should be focusing on that kind of sick stuff, instead of the farmer's market and silk road. The hidden wiki has damaged my faith in humanity.To be fair TFM deserved it because they were just thick. I do agree with ya though, they want to put the real degenerates in prison that ruin lives, not people who just make alternative choices.If you think about it from a moral perspective the distinction is quite easy to make. We enable adults to consciously engage in a largely harmless activity in private - it's a world apart from behaviour which actively harms innocent children. Naturally viewing such videos doesn't do any extra harm to that child but as long as people think there's a demand for such material they're going to keep on uploading it, which encourages people to keep hurting kids ; the best we can do as Sollemnis says is vote with our feet and choose not to visit the Hidden Wiki.V.Yeah exactly. On a sort of semi-related note it really pisses me off when people bring things that actively hurt others and try and sell/discuss them on here. Example of this being that TWAT that decided it was a good idea to kidnap someone for BTC. I dunno if you saw the post I put just before I locked the thread Vlad but I blasted that cunt.Thanks Lim,Yes I did indeed see you blast that cunt as you colourfully put it, and very well deserved too!The question in itself was a legitimate one as I think it's important to talk about the limitations of the Bitcoin network, even if only to prevent scaremongers from trying to say that cryptocurrencies are the province of kidnappers and Terrorists.I have about 4 years experience "cooking the books" now and I know you have many more and I cannot think of any way an individual could both hide a million dollars in the block chain and withdraw any meaningful amount... also since a hostage exchange is a one time thing there's no real way a victim's family are going to pay in installments!Frankly I think if the poster tries something like this laundering the ransom money would be the least of his worries anyway! :-)V.Interesting you say that because I think the BTC network is actually far more diverse than people really appreciate and I think this will actually only be realised when it comes to the time when more BTC will have to be put in circulation. Also coincidentally for a bit of fun I did a basic structure for 1M of BTC and then developed it into something calculated to have around a 90% chance of succeeding and it would force the prices up of the BTC by 10-20p (most of the models I did hit 14.5p increase). Was quite an interesting challenge. :)That's cool, I don't have many more years on you than that to be fair, I think (from what is all based on guesses) I have worked with a more diverse range of methods than yourself and dealt with larger sums. For example can you do stuff like offshore property double-sells, commodity flips, high-end value fraud and things like that? Also do you work with money that has already been placed or have you set up structures that can place funds without suspicion?Thanks Lim,I was actually reading on The Bitcoin Trader that this is a potential avenue of attack by LE i.e using vast sums to force down the price of the Bitcoin only to cause it to shoot up again but apparently the effect of this is becoming more negligible as time goes on. As memory serves there's an upper limit of 20 Million Bitcoins which are being created at a steady rate so any ripples would have to be rather shallow in the nature of things!I'm familiar with commodity flips but I simply haven't had the need to trade in property and securities to the extent you do as I only need to conceal my Bitcoin purchases for the sake of my clients. Now of course things are looking up and I have registered a small "financial services" in the BVI, Memorandum and Articles are in the post as we speak(!) there's no requirement for accounts in the other offshore jurisdictions I've found to be opened by a company incorporated in that territory so I might quietly shelve plans for the account in Belize ; perhaps we should discuss more specifics over PM? I don't want to sound overly paranoid but at the very least your savvy is worth the consultation fees! :-)V.
