I'm asking what happens when someone uses darkmarket (or just vanilla
bitcoin with tumbling for that matter, darkmarket just makes it easier) to
commit the perfect crime (bruce schneier's term).

I think what will happen is there will be a backlash, and a price drop.

I think this could actually be coordinated as a psy-op by people that would
like to see bitcoin fail, or possibly just want to drop the price so they
can buy some for cheap.

I am raising this possibility, because I think it bears some thinking
about, because it is GOING to happen.
