a very nice translation of the Bill (page 45) by one of our fellow member
Translation from reddit:
"Please, if I could have your attention. Allow me to translate, for your amusement, from legalese into plain English of people doing things.
People using their money in ways we don't like.-- We understand that Bitcoins and other forms of peer-to-peer digital currency can be used by people we dislike who do things we have prohibited, sometimes competing with us on terror activities, to transfer and spend money in ways we cannot spy upon or stop. News reports show that Bitcoins have been used to help Edward Snowden. We want the people doing business as "the FBI" to conspire with a bunch of other d.b.a's to tell us, in less than 120 days after this new commandment we just made up, how this "ersatz currency" (hehe, see what we did there?) affects our organized racket, in terms of both helping the businesses of people we have declared as "enemies" and in out-competing our buddies the bankers. The info must outline a conspiracy to sabotage Bitcoin's features, identifying people, money and other resources that will be necessary for this sabotage.
Phew. I thought my poor Model M was gonna smolder under the weight of translating so many sophisms, newspeak neologisms, half-truths, and veiled threats.
Aaanyway:

Conclusion: the most powerful terrorist organization that has ever existed in the world, with the actual power to literally murder everyone if they so chose, is preparing to attack Bitcoin directly. It's about to get real."
