I've been questioned by police, solicited by undercovers into doing stuff, been black listed from banks with my accounts closed and they tried to recruit me once to join them.
Any interesting stories to share?
Do you think you could provide more specifics?
The paranoia is strong with this one.
As everyone knows law enforcement is all over these forums.
proof?
Maybe we are all talking ourselves up and that in reality, no one gives a damn about us, including law enforcement.
they tried to recruit me once to join them.
You could have been a cool double agent ... or are you?

It's well known that law enforcement has been attending Bitcoin meetups since the beginning. Gavin has even been to the CIA to give them a talk about bitcoin.
Don't freak out about it, they've been around here since the beginning, everyone knows.

As everyone knows law enforcement is all over these forums. They sure keep quite. Maybe because they dont't want to taint evidence with forum posts which could be used against them in the court of law.
Anyways, it dawned on me that law enforcement is attending bitcoin meetups undercover. The FBI, state of NY, etc have tons of money to run such an operation.
It just feels weird to have people pretend they know bitcoin and then try to be friends with you even when you know you have not broken any laws. Makes me paranoid to mentally play, "Spot the fed", while at a bitcoin meetup. It also feels like an invasion of privacy.
Thoughts? Am I paranoid? Should everyone be? Maybe I have been watching too much breaking bad.
