"...risks of the technology that grew out of the criminal underbelly of the web..."
The "technology" wasn't created with a "criminal intent" but with a PRIVACY intent. It is unfortunate that that same characteristic made it very convenient for illegal trading. The same "quality" of anonymity that cash has. Valuing privacy doesn't make you a criminal.
Also, I don't think the fleecing of their costumers by some e-paying services should go on unchallenged.
