Getting other people to order stuff from Amazon for you, and pay them in bitcoin...

Looks like a way to order bomb ingredients without leaving a financial trail... Can't believe there's a big enough market for that...

Was there any other benefit to this service?

From the other side, it was a way to convert Amazon gift cards into BTC. Many argued it was primarily for those who acquired those gift cards illicitly or who were money laundering.

I read the blog post and couldn't really guess what they did, so I headed over to the actual shop and saw some books. Okay, I thought, another bookstore.

But then I scrolled further down and started seeing red dot sights for rifles and giftcards.

That does seem a little shady.

Well, if you have Bitcoins and want to spent them somewhere, what better place to do it than on Amazon?
