Quote from: wanna-be on June 15, 2012, 10:04 pmI guess this Limetless guy knows some wizardry with bitcoins, but unless you buy the bitcoins (insecurely) to pay him, you're outta luck, pal! Plus who's to say he isn't a LEO? If what he knows is beyond his client's understanding, his clients could be dupped into at some point, exposure. Just like on TFM. Who used bitcoins. Whether or not they used other payment methods.And to top it all off, no one even has a secure method of exchanging bitcoins into USD. All the vendors have to either open a bank account or get cash in person or via mail. Is it just me or is cash in mail seriously the most sketchy thing ever?And it's not to pick on anyone in particular. It's just that Lim always seems to have an answer. Even if it is laced with a touch of sarcasm. Peace be with you all.I am saying Lim isn't working for an LEO for starters! I work in the Finance Industry and I routinely meet and talk with Police from Financial Crime Units across the UK. Very few of them are even dimly aware of the Bitcoin and while they may be aware of some of the methods used by Lim to allow vendors to disguise their transactions in principle, no Police officer I have ever met has matched his level of cunning and ingenuity in so doing! I have referred to him before as a 'Napoleon' of white collar crime ; something which he proved two days ago when I announced plans to open an offshore account in Belize to store some of my profits in selling Bitcoins and he warned me in advance that this was unwise. I consulted with one of my colleagues who told me that compliance requirements are much stricter in this jurisdiction than others and that Lim's advice to use a different offshore location was correct. Surely if he'd been working for some sinister government organisation he'd simply have allowed me enough rope to hang myself?You say he has an answer for everything ; to put it another way he's willing to express his opinion and to help people with questions rather than selfishly guard knowledge of the kind you claim e.g using PGP, obtaining Bitcoins safely. On the basis any more experienced user who's willing to help newcomers to the Silk Road is suspect, you see the dilemma?V.
