Not to mention all the horrific typos. The pain grammar school teachers
   suffer as a result of anonymous, uninhibited and over caffeinated
   anarchists is one of the silent tragedies of our times.

   enabled by anonymity.
   I can imagine that if assassination markets were to take off, you'd see
   some large bounties (in excess of $100k) on every major politician in
   the world. Pretty much any figure of high popularity would probably
   have some sort of assassination bounty on their head, because the more
   popular you are, the more haters you have.
   What other sorts of unacceptable things could you do given fully
   anonymous money coupled with a fully anonymous internet identity? I can
   think of:
   website takedowns
   funding murder, rape, arson, etc.
   bombing certain buildings
   funding smear campaigns (say, tear the clothes off a popular celebrity
   or something)
   bounties for drugs, child porn, etc.
   kidnappings
   doxing
   You could basically attempt to crowd fund any illegal activity.
