US Marshals Auctioning $20M Worth of Silk Road's Bitcoins

coondoggie writes: The U.S. Marshals office says it will auction off almost 50,000 bitcoins (about $20 million worth) seized from alleged Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. The auction, which is the second sale of Silk Road's bitcoin collection, will take place during a 6-hour period on Dec. 4 from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. EST. Bids will be accepted by email from pre-registered bidders only, the U.S. Marshals office said. In June more than $17 million in bitcoins seized from the Silk Road take-down were auctioned off.

Do you know how hard it is to find quality MDMA?

It's fucking impossible. Unless you want shitty speed you need a really good connection, which I sadly can't find.

Dear U.S. Marshals, I am prepared to offer TEN Dogecoins for each ONE Bitcoin.
