Almost as if fiat currency issuers were looking for a reason....
Does this mean those trading in this virtual commodity have kiddie porn on their hard drives. If so vey scary as this could ruin their lives

A bug, or a feature?
So the government [any] can seize it at will............................
Funny how Mashable reports on this but NOT the Pizzagate or UK Muslim child sex traffickers.
