thats nothing...what about the billion of $ spent in the black market to buy weapons of *mass* destructions?

I don't get it.
They go on a website and order guns and bombs and whatever, and they are delivered to their home?
Doesn't the government check packages?

If that is the case so I will assume that the government is being bribed by them

That is the possible way to send it directly to their home without any obstacles

Why does government lets people make them in first place? would not that steel be better used in some other places?

There was another article floating around here regarding how law enforcement are linking sub reddit's about the dark web and connecting them to the identities of those involved. It talked about sending Reddit a subpoena that uncovered information about the users, kinda how theymos had one. Thought it was interesting how a discussion was opened about the information found out about the owner of the site on Reddit.

old news there was already a thread about it https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dark-net-weapons-bust-leads-to-17-arrests-and-a-80000-bitcoin-seizure-1063306

is this guy a bot, it's at least the third time that he post the same news

why could he be a bot if different people posted the news? also he is a senior member and is in a good sig campaign

There are specialized bots out there that can do this. For example XRumer, is the most advanced possibly. Can spam forums, guestbooks and break captchas and much more. XRumer has a function to that allows to produce posts in a forum until the user is trusted and can post his spamlinks. The content can be taken from other posts, repeat other answers or taken elsewhere from another forum with same topic.

Spammer really are a own of its kind.

How is that profitable though? that program must cost a pretty penny and the most this guy will be able to sell them for is .03 a account.

Yes, that software cost a couple hundred bucks. I believe many users in the bitcoin community come from the internet marketing area and many of those have software of that kind. So no cost involved.

I dont say he is doing that, though he only posts new threads and doesnt comment as far as i saw. The software itself works for free once bought. So someone might use it to raise post count and activity to either later join a signature campaign or sell the account. Now imagine doing that with a number of accounts at once.

Im not sure how easy it can be spotted but be ensured that this software is in development since years and far advanced already.

Are you talking about a Sr. Member being sold for 0.03??? Lol...

Anyways, let's not be off-topic...
Everywhere, the coins are being seized and these guys are making some grands for just "sealing" coins???
Okay, it is understood that the reason the coins got seized was illegality, but why these dickheads are actually entering this world???
Why are we allowing them???

This time also, the market place got raided just because one of the vendors was from the United States. I don't understand this. The US government is actively persecuting anyone who is using Bitcoin. If someone from the US want to get involved in dark markets, then ideally he should renounce his citizenship, and should move to some safer place like Dominica or Antigua.

The same account can be used as a bot and as a human. This way mods wont be able to identify the bot activity easily.

Law enforcement agencies have seized $80,000 worth of bitcoin as part of an international undercover investigation that tracked the illegal selling of firearms on a dark web site, according to a statement by the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

Four people across Australia have been charged with attempting to buy illegal firearms, while a further 17 arrests have been made across Europe and North America, the statement reveals.

The joint investigation between the United States Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), AFP and Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) focused on the international trade of illegal firearms by a US-based seller, who was later identified as a 33-year-old man living in Montana.
