Can you give more info?  What happened that they want your ID?

Buying BTC is not illegal.  Do you send your BTC from Mt. Gox directly to SR? 

I couldn't afford to lose $400, so I'd send my ID.  I'm little fish with a few SR purchases, so what are they going to do?  Misdemeanor most likely.  Certainly not ideal.  As long as you are not a vendor, how can they prove you bought drugs?  SR sells legal stuff too.  You could always buy a fake ID on SR!!!!

After I got my $400 back, I would not use Mt. Gox again (or at least open a new account).

yeah it went right from mt.gox to sr (which is stupid, i realize, i did it when i was a newbie)

AND

i accidentally accessed once with tor (once, newbie of course)

i guess will. i mean theres no proof that i have an account, used the account or even knew where i was sending it so i guess i gotta go for it

im scared

Logging onto mtgox once with TOR will cause this.  That is the reason 100%.  Your options are to provide ID/utility bill.  You can do that, get your coins and cash out and start a new online identity.  Or you can buy a fakeid/utility bill online and use that.

Make sure you change your real IP addy as well because when you create a new account they can see the new account and the flagged one have the same IP, therefore getting flagged again...
I'm 99.99% sure they have a system that will detect new accounts made on the same IP as a flagged account.

can mtgox tell that the addresses i'm sending money to were sr?

this is my real concern, because

if not then i feel comfortable disclosing my info and gettin' the hell out of there. because i imagine they'd at least glance at what kind of activity i've had.

but if they can......

anybody know?

No, there is no identifying information in a bitcoin address, so there is no way to know it's going to Silk Road.

I had no idea that sending BC straight from Mt Gox to the SR was a problem

Isn't the 'arrival' of the BC at SR something that can't be traced since SR is on TOR and therefore scrambled / anonymous?
