> transgressions like this can be handled extrajudicially

Is this code for vigilante justice?

What I mean is why let the innovation stop at the financial system when we can reinvent/streamline the judicial system as well!

I upvoted you because I presumed your comment was satire.

Please don't do that. Sarcasm is a cancer on written discourse, making it harder to extract meaning.

I'm upvoting all of these comments because irony is cheaper than advice.

Well, those SMP people stole money from drug dealers some of which may be part of or at least have ties to organised crime. I believe people like that have ways of dealing with something like this if know names and addresses.

Yes, perhaps we could pay these killers in bitcoins. It worked excellently for the DPR, after all!
