You're implying malicious intent, but he may have simply wanted to buy some time. The number of options to defer punitive measures will have been very limited and this one seems pretty straight-forward.

If the media reports that -- despite DPR's unsavoury activities -- BTC has its uses then I will quickly and happily eat crow. I'm expecting the worst tomorrow, especially considering all elements in the situation have very poor re

No, this information is just hearsay. This is a PR campaign by the Obama administration to justify cracking down on Bitcoin and Tor. Until DPR has tried and convicted we should assume that all reporting on this criminal investigation is lie

4chan recently created self-serve ads to help boost revenues, perhaps the same model would work for Tumblr users. Then again what would a bunch of 15 year olds be advertising to each-other?

Lol, bike theft is notoriously ignored by LEOs. Less than $500 value items usually, which barely pays for the salaries and doesn't pay for gas, food, equipment, or repairs/health. Besides, you can just shell out $100 for a shitty
