Bitcoin used to be funded with a lot of funds from LR 
I used LR a couple of years ago to transfer money between MtGox and another account. The site always seemed a little dodgy in that no customer information was required. Glad I pulled everything out years ago.
It's a shame how the whole business was seized without any warning from the authorities.
What kind of warning should be given? 'Guys, we're going to shut you down next week, but we don't expect any criminals and regular customers to clean out their accounts in the meantime. Shady Operator, you have a few days to flee before we look for you'
