using bot-coins yet

Ahh, the magic word "yet".

Safer to use than "never", huh! ;)

All the Feds have to do is wait until Brown delivers the purchased item to your house.

Heck, DHS could just have UPS deliver the arrest warrant at the same time.

“TO THE ARRESTEE. Please report to your nearest US Marshall office within the next 24 hours to complete the arrest process. Your cooperation is appreciated.”

There is no law against making a purchase of a legal item with bitcoins, "yet".

As far as mining them, any profit from that endeavor should be reported as income (if derived from mining) or as investment income (if from trading) during the tax year exchanged.

But I'm not a tax expert, so check with yours...
