Wish we would tell what exactly was different about BurtW and other LBC sellers..

probably the volume ...........

Probably not:

The indictment says:
Quote
involved the transport and transmission of funds that were known to the defendant to have been derived from a criminal offense and were intended to be used to promote and support unlawful activity
I wonder what that's about. I doubt that he was knowingly helping the Silk Road or anything like that...

Likely a sting operation, in which he agreed to proceed with BTC transaction knowing the funds will be used for something illegal.
