Of course, places that don't have an interest in seeing Bitcoin succeed
are going to emphasize the "OMG SILK ROAD DRUGZ R BAD!" angle.

If they play up the Bitcoinz R Evil, just remember that the TBTF banks laundered some $350 BILLION of Mexican cartel drug money and no one went to jail.

Despite the fact that the cartel had custom-made boxes to cart cash into the teller windows, that were precisely sized to fit the standard teller window, for efficiency.

When Bitcoin is used to even launder say $10 million, I will be amazed.
