Quick question on anonymity, i'm assuming most people here use coinbase or any kind of bitcoin exchange website - however they all require some sort of verification check that requires real life details (CC, drivers license etc).
Let's say LE decides to try and look for you, i'm assuming these exchange websites are obligated to give your personal details, and when they go knocking on your door asking "we have here that this is your bitcoin account, why have you been exchanging and sending $xxxx? Would plausible deniability work here?
Lets say given scenerio:
- SWIM buys cocaine regularly ~ 5grams +
- SWIM uses an exchange (with proper safe-mail, burn phone etc) however has personal details for verification
- SWIM receives multiple packages, gets a knocking a few months later about drug trafficking
- LE asks SWIM about bitcoin transfers

Hello officers. Let's talk on my porch.
I am a programmer, and lead developer for a software project, employed by someone that will remain unspoken of. I have a few employees whom I pay exclusively in Bitcoins.
Am I free to go?
Thank you. Enjoy your day.
