not surprising at all, they once double charged me and the bank had to deny the 2nd charge

So, where do I go now? Where's the best place to buy bitcoin instantly with a credit or debit card?
[2 Points] Redditor_on_LSD:
God damnit...I had no idea. There goes some cash I had in there.

Wow I wonder if that's why I got my last $500 purchase refunded today.

good!! they are the worst *edit although this isn't really that great of news for people wanting to buy coins anonymously. especially if places are being scrutinized heavily by LE to file SARs and monitor. If i remember correctly coin.mx was pretty strict. you had to take a video of yourself holding your license and credit card or some shit.

So if they weren't shady bastards would they still have been pursued, and as feverishly?
[1 Points] Thoughtsofamaniac:
So should I be concerned that I've used them for quite a while for multiple small transactions (>$100)? I always sent coins to a wallet and then tumbled them before sending to any market so I feel like I should be safe but I still don't want to be asked to be part of a trial or anything.
Idk kinda sucks. The fees were pretty low compared to LBC deals.

soooo I may have pulled some newbie shit last year and sent coins via coin.mx>dnm (no tumble). safe to say im probably flagged now by LE, should I stop ordering physical items all together now? I mean if the feds have the servers and all its content they got all of us who used coin.mx holding up are ID and credit card. are we suppose to just hope coin.mx didnt keep all that info on record. because I think a lot of us are fucked.

Does anyone know what the chances of recovering a coin.mx wallet are?

I thought the site was mexican because it had .mx at the end. I would have been like wtf does a mexican website need to follow US laws for?
