Your identity is becoming more of a liability than an asset. In the next iteration, guys like this and Kim Dotcom will only be known by pseudonymous online handles and accept payment in bitcoin.

What's the point of an anonymous receiving identity if there's a trail of where the bitcoins came from is visible as soon as you go to use it to pay for house/car/rent/colocation? I must be missing something about Bitcoin's usability for nefarious purposes.

  You exchange your bitcoins for traditional currency using an exchange then pay by cash. You can even buy bitcoins with cash - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4616/how-can-one-be-truly-anonymous-without-mining http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/4616/how-can-one-... Meaning that no transaction ever touches anything related to your identity.

    The solution appears to be sending cash in the mail. That's a bit less than ideal.

      It's also possible to do it in person, from what I gather. Definitely less than ideal but anonymity is almost guaranteed.
