"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Feds Stole My $33M Bitcoins Booty: Silk Road 'Pirate'
Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2013-12-24 00:00
“The Internet 'pirate' ... claims that the feds are the real buccaneers — robbing him to the tune of $33.6 million worth of the encrypted, virtual currency Bitcoin.” Mr. Ulbricht is correct, of course. But it's not nice to compare pirates to such a loathsome group. One wonders why they would steal something that isn't a “real” currency.
