One of the factors which helped in convicting Ulbricht was that it was possible to prove that bitcoins on his computer were obtained from SilkRoad. It is time crime investigators woke up to block chain evidence.
Much of the bitcoin transfers and traffic are trackable so this guy is either dumb or just doesn't like the ease of the flow of resources through the blockchain. These agents and co have busted the LR and SR already so they should be confident in this marketplace by now. These allegedly top notch agents typically are briefed in detail on what they're dealing with so they should have a bigger handle on this whole issue. These guys are typically intelligent but are short on time to investigate things on a personal level and thus have an understanding gap.
The title should be changed to: "Crimes are committed for money."
Now it's even more shocking.

What do u think, is this all just another scare story, or are they planing on making a move in the future ?
This is probably what this guy honestly believes, "that bitcoin is bad".
It escapes me how they could possibly stop this train now. I think it's just going to take more time for people like this to accept the coming change. I would look at the core developer(s) as 10X greater risk than any outside government agency.
Yes i know it does look like theyre just blowing off steam, but its how the liberty reserve thing started to fall apart aswell, but unlike them i also dont know how could they fight against bitcoin since it is decentralised.
Maybe the developers are going to be forced to resign or pressured to leave.. its all cooking up, and with good and valid reasons, heres another issue that makes their point :

Hopefully Bitcoin doesn't manage to attract a suicidal co-pilot.
All the blame goes to the Internet!
Eventually bitcoin will prove it's usefulness and those kind of arguments will go away.

They are blaming digital currency because it makes it harder for them to catch criminals. Drugs and arms dealers uses fiat currency and the financial system for illicit trades too, they are equally difficult to track and catch.
resume = honey pot ... and grab. 
like scam process.

"In his talks, Jarrow highlighted past examples of illicit services enabled by digital currency, including the now-defunct payment processor Liberty Reserve and black market Silk Road, which he alleged could not have been enabled by companies like PayPal."
Im concerned that they compare bitcoins with liberty reserve and SR, even with all this development we had over last months , they still see no difference ..
Its good to know that they cant "take down" bitcoin the way they did with these two, but its still anoying..
Liberty reserve existed until it was taken down in 2013, with all of the client money seized, including my 300$
