Imagine that Abcmixer did a fraudulent transaction with an address, launches a campaign on bitcointalk, uses same address to pay upto 50 participants of the campaign. FBI uncovers them, link more than 30 addresses belonging to the bitcointalk members to Abcmixer. The 30 participants are automatic culprits or accomplice. It will take more than 10 tons of efforts to convince FBI that you are a mere promoter of the mixer.
I get your point but somehow you skewed my point. What's the forum if not the users? If theymos is saving the forum users isn't he also saving the forum? Anyway, let's not overflog that issue as we seemed to have headed the same direction on that micro context.
The point of my argument concerning the authorities not even clamping down on banks is a way of showing disdain that much money laundering activities go on with fiat than we've in cryptos. Isn't this a case of giving a dog a bad name just to hang it. Authorities are doing the much they can to strangulate Bitcoin but the sad thing is that they arrived a bit late now. As it's right now, I don't think any FUD can make Bitcoin dip to $20,000 until after this rally, no matter how bad that news is.
