Fascinating

[Dave Grubb]

There is a long article in the WSJ this afternoon which details the bust of a world wide child pornography site.

Part of what makes this fascinating is that the lead agents who cracked this are IRS agents and it grew to include DHS as well as a number of international police partners.

It struck me as intriguing how these creeps covered their tracks---almost, and what the investigators found for clues. Part of the tail is the use of bitcoins--and the thought that was a secure method of payment.

Unfortunately the WSJ is closed to anyone without a subscription and I have not found a similar article to link too---however not all is lost, this story started to come out in Oct and so here is a link to the story as it existed at that time frame.

In my limited understanding bitcoin is an imaginary currency with zero intrinsic value...I have never understood the attraction to it...I can only assume the punishment for the child pornography participants will be anything but imaginary......Ben

Yeah - I have a problem with digital currency too. I want to gain access to full spectrum CBD oil, but the sellers online will only take assorted digital currencies. The feds need to get on their game and allow drug companies to deal with major credit cards. We're close - but not there yet.

You could sneak in to Colorado like everyone else from the beehive state does. We appreciate it.
