Early Bitcoin User Interviewed By Federal Officers

Posted by Unknown on from the just-wasting-electricity-officer dept.

MrBingoBoingo (3481277) writes Recently a Bitcoin user reports being interviewed over their past use of a now defunct exchange service by agents from the FBI and Treasury Department. This encounter raises concerns that earlier Bitcoin users who entered the space inocuously and without ties to Dark Markets or The Silk Road might need to prepare for Law Enforcement questioning about their early Bitcoin related activities.

    When you participate in a pyramid scheme

    Funny how you dumb fucks never get tired of showing off your ignorance regarding that term every time Bitcoin comes up.

    You'd think after having your betters correct you a few hundred times over the past three years, you might have learned a bit.

    Then again, that presumes an AC actually means to stand behind their post rather than just see who bites. Oh well.
