i wouldnt touch western union,not anon
i know you said you used googleyed once,,what method do you use now ? i want to make a cash deposit to mt gox via barclays,,a while back this method was basically stopped,but i notice on mt gox they say cash deposits will attract a 1.5% fee,,,,dont mind the fee but i want to be sure the cash route is up and working again

Yes you can deposit cash at barclays for mt gox depisits, alternatively you can send vlad1m1r cash in the post, he has a listing on SR

what do you mean by "intersango has gone belly up"?
afaik only their UK bank accounts have problems, you can also use their Polish bank account for deposits,
I have never had any kind of problem with that one. (you will have to pay some fees for the GBP->EUR conversion,
but they are very low, 1-2 percent or so.

are you 100% sure this is up and running again ? if it is then its happy days for peeps in the uk
intersango recently had major issues so im steering clear of them for now,,,best news is mt gox accepting cash
happy days

thats how he got caught mate, about a year ago i started dealing with him and he always done western union or money gram, only until about 6 months ago did he start doing business through escrow, he was actually using his and other people close to hims real name to do western union, i know this for sure, as when i seen the internet article on his arrest it had one of the names in the article, stupid man.
the moral of the story?
only use bitcoins and stay within the rules of silkroad, its for all our own safety.
