Reading between the lines, the author thinks (but maybe doesn't have a shred of real evidence) that these transactions are Ross Ulbricht moving funds.
I'm pretty ambivalent about Ulbricht's conviction based on at least 2 feds were criming in Silk Road during the investigation, but I think there's little doubt that Ulbricht was facilitating lots of drug deals. How can citizens of the USA take a federal "anti-drug" stance seriously? Pardoning Ulbricht while prosecuting much smaller drug merchants and even end users seems grotesquely hypocritical.
