I would not expect a mass sale of bitcoins now, more likely an hold of them. People who got paid in bitcoins for drugs or illegal sites, should be afraid to sell bitcoins. The bitcoin addresses of most these people is know by feds (is enough to buy a drug or tip a site, and follow the laundering steps in blockchain, there's even premade software for follow that forever). Then if any will exchange with mtgox, bitinstant or such, the feds can request ID's filed by those exchangers for that guy.
Really who use bitcoin for illegal stuff does not use mtgox or bitinstant, but instead
https://localbitcoins.com/ which let you find people to trade with directly. So person to person, safe even if using banks, given bank and bitcoin is connected via word of mouth deals and not a centralized exchange. But, let's go in Silk Road forums, you see the following instructions given for safe bitcoins trading:
1. Go to localbitcoins.com using TorBrowser or Tails.
2. Create an account, giving them a
tormail.org email address.
...
Not so wise advice to use a third party server for mails. Tormail server been seized, and feds reading mails now, including nice discussions for drug deals and shipping addresses, to use as evidence later. I bet the feds will have to hire extra staff to look at all those logs they got lately.
