RE: Greece Arrests Russian "Mastermind" Behind $4 Billion Bitcoin Laundering Scheme btc-e
It would be completely absurd to not think that a massive part of Bitcoin's popularity is its ability to purchase and sell drugs online. I am referring to the system, not Vinnik's case
Most drug dealers use cash. So should anyone who uses cash be arrested?
Arrested? I don't remember saying anything about arrests. Illicit fiat cash is more difficult to launder with large amounts. That's what's attractive about Bitcoin.
I personally don't care about drugs. I do care about fraud, ransoms and human trafficking though. Legitimizing cryptocurrency exchanges is a good thing.
