The problem with all this is that "money laundering" generally comes from activities which are victimless crimes, and are therefore not a crime because they don't affect anyone but the person doing them.

How about making it illegal (except law enforcement, no grandfathering) any firearm that can be fired within 1,000 feet of a school.
I'd you can ban magnetic balls then you can do this.
It's already illegal to kill kids, so how will making it double illegal help?
The Transcontinental Railroad cost $1.2 billion in 2012 dollars. The Eisenhower Interstate System cost $425 billion of the same.
Are you sure you don't understand why a decentralized "pod" system wouldn't work?
How many miles was the Transcontinental Railroad, and how many miles is the Interstate System?
This article made me go and buy Aziz Ansari's special: http://azizansari.com/ I had always meant to, but it reminded me that a $5 directly to the artist does WAY more than spending $20 on a dvd to a large company. I had bought Louie CK's thing the day it came out, but waited on Aziz's.
I bought Aziz's and then went and bought Jim Gaffigan's also, even though I've never heard him perform before. It's totally worth $5 to encourage this kind of behavior by artists. http://www.jimgaffigan.com/
I dont think talking is going to distract me (but i am well above average in every aspect) . And if you cant talk and drive at the same time, then your license should be taken away. that should be part of all the new driving tests. you have to call and talk to a memeber of your family for 10min while navigating the streets of San Francisco.
Thanks. I came to this thread just to see how long it would take someone to make the claim that they were "special" and that these problems didn't apply to them. I'm glad your pretentious comment was able to satisfy my curiosity.
Shouldn't there be a Godwin's law equivalent for that sort of self-aggrandizing statement?
THE FUCKING STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS NOT EXPIRED.

Could you at least have the fucking brains to DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF before opening your mouth like a fucking parrot?
Why should I do the reasearch myself when the State Attorney General's office, whose job it is, has already done the research and determined that the statute of limitations has expired? After all, shouldn't they have a pretty good idea of what the law is - at least more so than some random Slashdot poster? You know, since that's their job.
You know you can unload that monopoly money onto (other?) idiots for real money...
And the fact that you differentiate between Bitcoins and "real money" says all that needs to be said.
Will Assange's people put the money where his mouth is and release the key to the insurance file?
Does anyone else find it ironic that Wikileaks has a secret insurance file? Shouldn't someone be wikileaking the Wikileaks insurance file?
I find rubbing my lucky rabbit foot to be much more effective - and pleasant.
I don't think that's a foot.
but this is a violation of due process if not, and as far as i'm concerned places Amazon out of what could be reasonably considered a common carrier on their EC2 platform
Doesn't due process only apply to governments? It's Amazon's service, and, generally speaking, management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Not to mention that hosting what are essentially stolen documents is probably against their TOS.
You Americans are so cute with your fear of terrorists. You're quite happy for thousands of people to die on the roads, but one itty bitty terrorist attack and you go cower indoors.
Home of the brave my ass - you should try living somewhere with a real history of terrorism and you'd see we pretty much just get on with our lives. Some idiots blow up the tubes yesterday? Ah well, as long as mine is still running, I'll use it today with no changes to security. The IRA blow up another pub? Well, this one is still standing, so I'll have a pint. ETA blowing up shit all over the place? Can't let the fuckers win, so we'll get on with our lives.
But no. America has ONE attack on their own soil and they go mental.
Maybe, but what was the reaction of the British population after the first IRA bomb went off? Or after the first multi-pronged attack that killed 3000 people and destroyed two iconic skyscrapers in your "prestige" city? Oh, I guess that second one has happened yet. Lucky you.
