"Shrem email accounts reflect that "BTCKing" not only obtained his supply of Bitcoins through the Company, but did so with extensive support from SHREM. Even though SHREM quickly realized that "BTCKing" was reselling Bitcoins on Silk Road, which SHREM knew to be a marketplace for illicit drugs, SHREM went out of his way to facilitate "BTCKing's" business. Among other things, SHREM: permitted "BTCKing" to continue doing business with the Company, despite initially threatening to "ban" him based on his illegal activity; personally ensured that "BTCKing's" orders with the Company were filled everyday; gave "BTCKing" discounts based on his large order volume; sought to conceal "BTCKing's" activity from the Co-founder and the Cash Processor to prevent "BTCKing's" orders from being blocked; advised "BTCKing" how to evade the transaction limits imposed by the Company's own AML policy; let "BTCKing" conduct large transactions without ever verifying his identity, in violation of federal AML laws; and failed to file a single Suspicious Activity Report about "BTCKing," [sic] despite the obvious "red flags" raised by "BTCKing's" dealings with the Company."
If all that is alledged is true, that's pretty damning and this isn't just a general bitcoin crackdown.
