'A crazy theory, MtGox had its btc seized by us govt during Silk Road investigation, but gag order prevents disclosure'

The actual article, by Chris Pacia (who links to and credits PuffyHerb on Reddit for most of the thinking behind it), is here:

    Actually, if this had come from CmdrTaco, I'm not sure it shouldn't have run -- he's something of an internet celebrity, so stuff written by him is more newsworthy than it otherwise would be. But that would mean an article, blog post, etc. written by CmdrTaco, not a single twitter post by CmdrTaco linking to an article/blog from some random bloke.
