Hi HODLers,

Today, we learned that the FBI launched a new "Crypto Crimes Unit". As much as it sounds great that they will go after criminals and scammers, I am always a bit troubled when law enforcements decide to go after crypto.

The team will be headed by longtime prosecutor Eun Young Choi

The team will focus on:

  • crypto exchanges,
  • mixers, tumblers and
    other types of digital asset infrastructure providers that might allow for "the criminal misuse of cryptocurrencies,"* according to the release.

Well, can you see the KYC use case later on? I hope you all reported your taxes to Uncle Sam !

"The NCET will enhance the Criminal Division’s existing efforts to provide support and training to federal, state, local and international law enforcement to build capacity to aggressively investigate and prosecute serious crimes involving cryptocurrency and digital assets in the United States and around the world,

Do you remember the "Patriot Act" against terrorists which is now spying on every American? Or European terrorists laws that still apply today such as "Etat d'urgence" which has been prolonged for years now in France...

Governments are abusing their powers as the Canadian situation is showing and it seems they do not feel like stopping...
