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: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2216.msg29280#msg29280
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.
