Alternatively you could avoid bringing legal attention to bitcoin by using your brain to avoid getting scammed.

A scammer tag in bitcoin community is more powerful than a tax - avoidance judgement. Cause then you are done with the ladder profits.

costs nothing but time to start a new identity/identities on the forums.

if you can make off with $5m just by posting on a forum for a year, I'd be working round-the-clock, posting from multiple accounts and lying my guts out to get the money.

unless of course I was afraid of getting thrown in the slammer

...will the FBI provide legal protection in warcraft?

They'll have to create some characters first and it'll take some time before they are powerful enough to be effective! Wink

This is something that's already ongoing and cannot be avoided. I'd rather have more attention sooner than later, so that uncertainty goes away.

Don't pretend that Bitcoin will remain invisible to legal agencies forever. That would only happen if it failed miserably.

For once, I agree.

Whats wrong with legal attention? A scam is a scam regardless. Just because bitcoins were used does not make any difference. Obviously I agree that those who were scammed are not the brightest bunch and their money is gone, but if people are allowed to get away with fraud, it will never end.

Do you pay taxes from your bitcoin-related profits?

Sometimes you see something even with closed eyes...

Congrats to your visionary abilities

If I ever cash out, sure. Bitcoin is also going to be short-lived as a tax-evasion tool. It's not like the govt doesn't know about it.

Here is an online submission of information in cases of internet fraud

FAQ:
http://www.ic3.gov/faq/default.aspx

Scammers are often dangerous sociopaths who will continue to lie, cheat, and steal from others. These people feel no empathy and will continue to generate harm in their communities until they are stopped. Help put an end to these parasites in our community and realize that a "scammer tag" on these forums is not a real punishment to speak of. As taxpayers, we have a right to use law enforcement to put an end to rampant fraud in bitcoin.
