Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security-FinCEN ceased the accounts of Mt. Gox’s US subsidiary Mutum Sigillum LLC for failure to properly register as a Money Service Business (MSB). While jolting to the ecosystem at the time, it was, in fact, a reiteration that bitcoin is legal, but not above the law. Earlier this week, authorities brought charges against the men behind Liberty Reserve, alleging that the virtual currency and exchange aided in laundering more than $6 billion.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.
