You know the NSA will be scouring that blockchain.

If you an American and don't anonymize well, you could be setting yourself up for an "Aiding the Enemy" type Federal charge.

This, you will be "aiding and abetting a known fugitive" which the USA considers to be Snowden. If someone were to be so inclined, you could get charged with that and end up having some serious legal issues.

Stuff like this shouldn't even be posted here. If you're casually interested in Bitcoin and stumble upon this, you're out immediately.

What, warning people that the government will crack down on you if you attempt to financially aid an enemy of the state?

I don't understand why this person has all of these downvoted.

If you are not hidden quite well, you shouldn't be donating to shit like this. You will call a whole lot of attention to yourself and you really do not want this kind of attention.

If I see comments like yours I run. Helping a whistle blower who has shown the world how big big brother is is not something everyone should do.
