Funny. Normally we call people selling these kinds of products criminals and attempt to shut them down. Turns out those naughty lads were just going about it the wrong way. They should have gone public, floated the company and sold for dollars instead of bitcoin, and suddenly everything would magically have been just fine.

It's a neat trick, and it works for other unsavory things normally not allowed too: "Unregulated militias and arms trafficking" becomes a "PMC", "kidnapping and slavery" becomes "prison services" etc.
