BitInstant exchange company
I havent heard this name in so long!
I cant remember, but what were the W twins involved with?
How were they involved?
I think they were Shrem's partners around that time, but I can't remember the particulars.
Sherm was also partner with Roger Ver.
Ver was investing in everything back then, right? He was bankrolling everybody.
Deeply connected with Mt.Gox too.
I gather some important links here for all those curious to study

This deserves a bookmark. I read through this before, but after time passes I forget so many details.
I am strongly recommending to watch/listen all those videos about Silk Road.
So much truth and clues about SR case you can find in there.
I'm watching the first silk road video you linked now
This is something I need to do.
Probably play it when I am working on training.
He was arrested recently for tax evasion...wow
Even though he isnt a US citizen.
bullshit cover up.... he's a gov agent.
Typical gov scheme when they want to make somebody disappear from online focus...
I havent hear that name in so long.
What happened to the bankman guy?
Yes, I member.... Bitinstant was a pretty good exchange back then.
I didn't use it myself but I have friends that did.
This was part of the whole gov operation to hit Bitcoin. They practically use them to bring down Silk Road.
I stand my ground: Silk Road was a massive operation started by the gov itself against Bitcoin. Ross and all others like Sherm were fooled to participate and used as patsies.
All started when Wikileaks announced about accepting Bitcoin and the famous Satoshi quote:

In that moment the govs realized that they have to do something against Bitcoin... so they start working on Silk Road, from behind.
I guess was that also the time when Andresen met with the CIA?
more or less, yes
That is an interesting theory.
Anything to back it up?
Is not a theory, is the truth.
Watch and read everything was published back then. I did it many years and following all the aspects and proofs presented.
There's a lot that is not told now and they are trying to cover up.
I bought my first Bitcoin on the red phone from him. Took a long time to transfer, I was sure I got scammed. Then I did get scammed by betting it all on seals with clubs. Self own.
