Topic: Monero under scrutiny of the FBI - page 10. (Read 15253 times)

Proof?

And who is "Monero"?

What company is in charge of Monero? Who is its CEO?

Promoted? Where?

Which I reckon Evan and the cult have tried to consider getting the attention of TPTB to look at dash and how that would be positive for dash. Also the costs to get such a "showing" in dog and pony show lol.

It cost 0 for Monero to get the attention of the FBI.

ZEEEE ROW

No, that's incorrect... Monero was created for privacy.

Privacy != criminality

Privacy does have its positives in protecting one from being targeted for ransom or targeted advertisements based on your spending habits or competitors knowing who your suppliers are.

This whole idea of privacy is only for criminals is like saying all people who take a shit with the door closed are criminals.

IF that is the case get rid of your doors, locks, curtains, and all passwords to all of your accounts. Make your password [BLANK]. Oh and then after all that post your bank statements on the internet for all to see if privacy is only for criminals.

Monero allows user opted transparency via the view key.

Oh the butthurt in this thread.

I guess if the FBI thinks it is something they need to pay attention to, that would then legitimize the technology behind Monero eh?

Looks like Dash/ZCASH ain't much of a worry for the FBI it would appear.

You guys are skipping over the point here.. DARK MARKET ACTIVITY .

anyhow, they'd have more headaches this time. as if bitcoin isn't confusing enough, there are more crypto currencies offering the same features like SDC and they should be monitoring it by now before it flew.

But the Chinese government could, especially if the coins were associated with some CIA covert action as opposed to something as mundane as online drug sales.

Edit: My point is that: This has already happened with Ethereum, proving that the Satoshi POW alone is not enough to ensure fungibility.

chinese miners won't give a shit about a bunch of criminals in foreign lands having their money taken from them. and i don't think the fbi would care all that much if their proceeds of crime were turned to useless bytes if something was done. it would be some fun inspiration to go after the wider community even harder.

Not good... FBI can kill any coins, if they want.

On the other hand, unless they have evidences, they won't do anything. Plenty stuff used in darknet.

Forgot about your bragging forum hype campaign where Monero would be used by Dark Markets ?
I didn't.. i warned you all it would be stupid.

And they can't do anything ?
See that guys screen cap earlier.. idiots  

They can basically force any "compliant" exchange to ban the coin.
Then.. let's see how fucking popular it is

I warned you all lots about this shit LOUDLY !

..now it begins.

Sorry continues ..forgot i told you Cryptsy was doing this for ages ?

PS:
Lets see how cocky the Monero shills are when the Fed's show up at their door with a court summons and warrants etc.
Ready to fight a costly legal battle to defend your bags big mouths ?

PPS:
Don't even bother trying to pull that routine guys..
Ohhh well... other guys are bad too so go get them defense retort.
This is about Morono so quit pointing figures at others saying they are doing it too.
Monero is the faggotry marketed and adopted DIRECTLY at Dark market criminals.. no others !

It works both ways. Monero can also protect law enforcement from the kind of attack proposed in this thread regarding the SilkRoad coins. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/should-miners-collude-to-steal-funds-from-wallet-confiscated-by-us-government-306809 Ethereum has proven that it is actually possible to do this on a blockchain in the clear.

So here is the question for law enforcement. You seize Bitcoin or Ethereum as proceeds of crime. Then the "community" decides to undo the seizure without any form of due process. How do you prevent this? Now with Monero law enforcement is actually protected from this kind of attack.    

Edit 1: The majority of the hashpower for Bitcoin is in China. Food for thought for US based law enforcement.
Edit 2: A taint attack against the seized coins is also possible. Fungibility works both ways.

..hot off the forum

Can i interest you all in some freshly squeezed FUD ?

I TOLD YOU SO INVESTARDS !

All cryptocurrencies are under the scrutiny of the FBI--it's the FBI's job to monitor darkmarkets, tax evasion, and the like--it's the fact that the  FBI is worried about Monero that is the point of the article.

The FBI is singling Monero out for the very fact that its special properties put it on the same footing as two of the oldest and most trusted coins used for illicit activities--this is what cash is supposed to do, this is what capitalism is supposed to do. Good money does bad things. You will never see Washington wince when he's used to buy crack, you will never see him yawn when you buy the morning paper, and you will certainly never see him cheer when you buy an ounce of your grandmother's illicit cataract medication. Good money does bad things, period.

Those people fretting and hand waving do not see (or likely choose to ignore) that real freedom is tied to private money--good money capable of exerting its holders free will at any moment, at any time. Those that say big government has already won,  have already lost the will to fight, to do what's right in the face of impossible odds, to be vigorous freemen in a time apathetic slavery. At the end of the day, every man and woman's choice is simple, to be a slave or a master--if you are waiting for the powers that be to validate your investment, you have made your last free choice and will gladly take what's handed to you--and though I will feel pity for you, and can even emphasize with the conditions of your slavery, I will never sympathize with the conditions of your failure to break free and set a new course for humanity in this dark time of surveillance states.  If you are waiting for an authority to take you by the hand and lead you greener pastures, you will be continually disappointed that greenest pastures, the choicest venues, the sparkling rivers, the places you always wished you could be, are reserved for those you follow.

The digital world before us is as vast as our imaginations, a land beyond the scope of any nation, no matter how powerful they may seem in the confines of their physical state--they are limited by nature's bounds, constructs of hierarchal determinism, incapable of pondering virtual states of each man his own, each woman her own--it is not by accident that the final battlefield is our imaginations, and the quickness in which some give over their ultimate freedom matches the long drawn out physical history of rule or be ruled, and then the cataclysm of the wisdom that asserts--I have only myself to rule or be ruled.

Yes it's true!  The CEO of Monero is even on Alphabay's Board of Directors.

Last October, the lavishly funded Monero Marketing Team sponsored a promotional trip to the Crypto Cannabis Conference.

We saw that as a great opportunity to piss in Uncle Sam's eye and dare him to come at us.

The Monero community is 100% dedicated to making sure DNMs are weaned off Bitcoin ASAP.
