So much for pseudonymity with bitcoin. Apparently, when you interact with the US Marshals Service, your name is included in email blasts.

The U.S. Marshals Service, which is planning to auction bitcoins seized last year from the illicit Silk Road marketplace, sent a message today to almost 40 e-mail addresses of people and groups who submitted questions about the sale, which takes place June 27.
