Crime and Misconduct Commission worker Dr Michael Gerard Briody pleads guilty to contravening secrecy
AN OFFICER from Queensland's crime watchdog has been handed a suspended eight-month jail sentence for leaking a confidential report that was later posted on the internet by his son.

...
Dr Briody was suspended from duty on September 7 after allegedly leaking parts of a confidential research report detailing police and other law enforcement agency strategies for fighting the use of "Bitcoin" virtual currencies by criminal syndicates.
...

So that's where the leaked April 2012 FBI report came from!?
Edit: actually - the FBI leak seems to predate this:
Quote
Prosecutor Todd Fuller SC told the court the report, which had been granted an "in-confidence" clearance level by the CMC, was disclosed by Briody to his son between June 6 and September 8, 2012.

It seems likely to be the 'Hidden in Plain Sight' report issued by the Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commision as reported here:

(and noted in the press subgroup here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108323.0 )

Does anyone have a copy of the actual report?
