The Tor black markets are getting closed one after the other. I'd say that's pretty bullish for Bitcoin. Remember when Silk road was busted?

You mean way back in the thousands of hours ago?
Yes. The Silk Road bust proved that these black markets could be shut down, which made Bitcoin more respectable. The recent shutdowns of BMR and Sheep, whatever the reason, reinforces the idea that Bitcoin is not just a currency for black markets.

drug dealers and their websites are not to be trusted.
But were the owners of the site actually selling drugs themselves? This is more like a casino shutting down and the boss running away with the vault AFAIK...

I don't know, but I wouldn't be leaving a large number of BTC on any blackmarket site at this point. Seems to attract unnecessary financial trouble.

Why would you even need to? its perfectly easy to use one of these sites only risking the amnt for 1 deal.

The best course of action for the guy is to extort Bitcoins from you guys on a bitcoin related tor site by means of a signed message saying: Send me more coins or I will dump. Grin

This almost makes me send a Satoshi with the message: "Dump Moth*** , Dump If you have the balls"

Do it:)

Now seriously: if he wants to dump, he still needs to do it in an orderly fashion. In summer 2011 somebody dumped hundred of k's of BTC and took the price to $0.01 (a forum user bought like 270k BTC for $3k), and Gox just halted trading and "rolled back". If something like that happens (hundred of k's dumped) the exchange would just stop the activity as they would assume that something fishy is going on.

Well he could pay for himself and some buddies to take a $250,000 space flight without dumping on the exchanges. Wink

I think some car dealerships are taking BTC.  He should look for someone selling a house for BTC too.

Maybe I shouldn't be helping him though.

Probably his best bet is to contact 'connected' organisations and ask for help in laundry.

There are ways -but yep - he hasn't got away yet, he needs to get the cash somehow and that means finding a way to rinse it - which will be difficult now - will he have anyone he can trust when his wallet has 100 million bux in it?

His best bet is probably to launder through altcoins. hmm...

Isn't the mcxNOW exchange run by a shady character who announced a voluntary shutdown to occur later this month? Would be perfect time for the thieve to grab a bunch of alts. When the exchange goes down, I'm guessing all the trade records will vanish too.

Hmm. What if the mcxNOW owner is complicit in this mess... hmm..

Yeah but the fact that he tried to tumble 96k and then put it together back in one wallet address doesn't give him much hope. How many wallets addresses with 90k+ balance do you think there are

His current problem right now is he cannot mix the 96k because he needs another such big chunk of BTC (not his) in circulation in the mixer. Otherwise he mixes to himself.

Thus, he could sacrifice half his stash, and do something like..

1. Scammer talks to mixer owner. Gets a little code going.
2. Scammer offers a public sell-off at 50%: every coin sent to the mixer gets mixed and doubled up in the process, up until 48k are spent.

The doubling of coins assures there will be takers.
The takers assure his coins get mixed.

Would you trust the scammer a 2nd time?
