EU Report: Digital Currency Use by Organized Criminals Is 'Rare'

A newly released report from the European Commission suggests there is relatively little virtual currency use among organized crime groups.

Calling cases involving organized crime and the tech "quite rare", the report was sent in late June from the European Commission (the European Union's executive arm) to the bloc's legislature as well as its body of national leaders. It was made public on 4th July.

The report's authors argued that technological limitations – a lack of expertise especially – is behind the apparent low usage rates.
