> there is some implication that these agents may have been responsible for theft of bitcoin not only from Silk Road, but from Mt Gox as well
I don't think this is true. Unless I'm missing something the allegation here is not that they stole from Mt. Gox but that they used Mt. Gox to cash out bitcoins stolen from Silk Road.
They did actually then steal from Mt. Gox, but it was "legal". They accused Mt. Gox of operating illegally and seized their US bank accounts. That happened a long time before Mt. Gox actually collapsed and is separate from the bitcoin theft that brought them down.
This whole thing reads like a conspiracy theory dreamed up by radical libertarians. If they really are out to get you, does that mean you're not paranoid?
