Christine Johnson<p>Historian Rebecca Spang on the movement to make gold, silver, and cryptocurrency legal tender, which is making headway at the state level: </p><p>"Despite its frequent representation as a shiny coin, Bitcoin has neither gold’s age nor its atomic properties and one might expect a real goldbug to be skeptical of anything so newfangled and digital. But cryptocurrency and metals are both private and non-governmental. Today’s ultra libertarians are so opposed to the idea of public services of any kind—education, healthcare, support for children, the disabled, and the elderly, etc.—that they even want to privatize money."</p><p><a href="https://www.rebeccalspang.org/blog" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">rebeccalspang.org/blog</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Crypto</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/CryptoCurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CryptoCurrency</span></a></p>

Molly White<p>The prosecution's flailing attempts to navigate around the Blanche memo exemplify the incoherence of the Trump administration's approach to cryptocurrency enforcement: carveouts for powerful allies while continuing aggressive prosecutions to avoid appearing soft on cybercrime.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crypto</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cryptocurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cryptocurrency</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USpolitics</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>Prosecutors have tried to recover the testimony by bringing in an FBI agent to testify that the scam victim’s funds were sent to Tornado, using an accounting practice known as LIFO.

Molly White<p>But shortly after this testimony, crypto sleuths discovered that the scam victim’s funds likely never were laundered through Tornado Cash at all.</p><p>Not only that, the “crypto recovery” service used by the victim may have been one identified by the FBI as a scam known for producing “incomplete or inaccurate tracing report[s]” (though this may be a separate company sharing a name, or impersonating a legitimate business).</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>crypto</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cryptocurrency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cryptocurrency</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USpolitics</span></a></p>
Molly White<p>Then, prosecutors called as a witness a woman who had fallen victim to a $250,000 cryptocurrency scam.
