Indeed, not a lot of ways to associate an address with somebody unless: - seize drives or papers with private keys - extract printer memory if they printed a private key - subpoena exchanges to hand over records to tie them to identities th

I'm going to assume they calculated this by simply counting the amounts of returns filed/logins done during the time the exploit was announced to being patched and wrote them off as compromised. Maybe the Canadian government shoul

From the original arrest it said he was using his work email @bitinstant to communicate with BTCKing and I don't remember anything about PGP being used. Shrem is screwed, because all those emails are highly incriminating with him activ

There certainly is opportunity for major traders to manipulate the price, and for exchange operators. Stage a denial of service attack against the biggest exchanges, or spread media FUD and watch the price temporarily tumble. Start buying a
