coinjoin and or any other company that is found to be complicit in any activity to defraud the bitcoin community will be subject to both the community and or various authorities
in the case of mixers if you can determine that any such funds have entered such mixer it shall be sufficient evidence to hold such mixer up for public condemnation.

The fight against money laundering goes on on all fronts. Call it what you will, but there will always be tumblers and laundromats to wash the shit from people's undies haha. Washing out blood and shit from clothing actually has made fortunes. All laundries serve good purpose, because they do not ask where blood or shit comes from.
but you are right man, screw the coin thieves, they aren't like pizzarias and chinese restaurants laundering cash, this is way way worse. And yet, the fact that the FBI has locked up 10% of bitcoin without much ado, means coin tumbling will remain a viable defense for anyone who sees the FBI for what it is: A non Constitutional entity which has no business stealing the world's wallets. So, until the FBI stands up and become responsible for their thefts, and also the fraud of the drug war be repudiated, then maybe regular people can feel safe, but not today. So, tumblers are still good and I want them to work, not because I am a dogshit coinstealing thief, but because I would rather let the thief get away and protect the 100 innocents who he doesn't care about, and whose coins also get robbed/locked away. So, it is complicated but yes my coinbrother, speak your rage and solutions, the audience is listening.Just by the evidence I see on this one thread so far I have already determined that it was EXTREMELY easy for Mt Gox to have GIVEN IN to the enormous temptation to steal the funds from himself. He saw so many scams, he saw it go uncorrected, and unpunished for years. He clearly wrestled with the good and bad thoughts for quite some time, but probably found himself siding with bad more often than good. It's very likely that this was his wacky retirement plan since the last time he screwed the community.
But here's the thing, now that a half billion is gone, the system is lined up for BTC-e to be next, and to take it to a higher level. But unless they do it within the next few months it will likely be no more btc because the market is shrinking down to nothing.
Who would think $800+ would be the high for 2014 when in 2013 projections were $50K+ btc for 2014?
The system simply cannot tolerate any more mass blunders or plunders, that's why the money must be found AND the exchanges must initiate massive change.
