This is the best they can do?
"No one is listening... we need to PROVE that Bitcoins are dangerous and need regulation. ... See?! Anonymous currency can be used for assassinations! You NEED the regulation!"
The whole thing is clearly a ruse. I'm just waiting for the "kiddy pr0n" angle to be used next, and to flop. At that point we'll know their backs are against the wall.
Sadly, this kind of nonsense has been going around since the early days of discussion of cryptocurrency. Jim Bell's crap was posted in 1995 at the latest. Unlike Jim Bell, though, this idiot is actually trying to implement it, at the worst possible time.
I suppose it could be a ruse, but it seems unlikely to me. We've had these idiots around since the beginning.
