It may seem backwards, but the only real way to buy Bitcoins anonymously is to buy them in person using cash.

Check out: http://localbitcoins.com

But you can just buy them through somewhere like Coinbase, then use Bitcoin Fog to make them anonymous.

If you leave them in Bitcoin Fog for a couple of days / weeks, there is very little chance they'll be traced back to you.

Whoever runs bitcoinfog might want to revise this statement on their gateway page:

> And once again, running through Tor makes it not likely for us to be shut down under pressure from the authorities. When in doubt about this, consider Silk Road.

When I consider Silk Road, it makes me less confident that this service won't be shut down.
