Just for the record "terrorist" is the modern day bogey man. And watch lists and no-fly lists are used as much to punish politically inconvenient people as they are to go after real terrorists. The point is that if Josh did business with someone the government didn't like for any reason, any reason at all even if they have nothing at all to do with actual terrorism, they could cry about KNC and terrorist money laundering and come after everyone. It doesn't actually excuse Josh or GAW for breaking the law, do the crime do the time as they say. But throwing around words like terrorist or terrorism in regards to money laundering is easy to do and may not have anything at all to do with any actual terrorism or terrorists.
And your point is?
This is a post - 911 world. The government has fully implemented their police state. The Patriot Acts 1 and 2 and the NDAA are their crown jewels. People let it happen. Edward Snowden & that transtesticle Chelsea Manning, Wikileaks & Julian Assange tried to warn us and we all saw what happened to them when they got in Big Brothers cross-hairs?
At the end of the day, from the governments perspective, they don't give a fuck about GAW, Paycoin, nor Josh. What they care about is forwarding their agenda. GAW, Josh, et al are a means to an end. The disservice that this slimy piece of shit has done to the world of crypto will be just as bad as Mt Gox and Silk Road.
We will be seeing a shit storm to clamp down on all cryptos and turn it into a regulatory nightmare. Just fucking wait for it. It is now inevitable.
From the governments perspective, the only cryptos that will be legit will be the ones that they can completely control with their laws. Anything operating outside of that will be labeled whatever they want: terrorists, money laundering, organized crime. They will force all exchanges to use KYC documentation. They will attempt to take all anonymity out of the equation. Those that resist will retreat to the 'dark side' of the web and then will be labeled said bogeyman.
Government is not emotional. Government is methodical, patient, and always power grabbing. That is why the Constitution exists. To protect people from over-reaching government. When the government is allowed to pass laws usurping your rights this is the end result. Looking at how far this Corpo-Facist Financial Dictatorship has advanced since 911, imagine what it will look like in 10 more years.
Right now as I type Australia, Canada, and France are in the process of trying to pass laws to implement their versions of the Patriot Act and NDAA. This after they had there little terror-filled fun days blaring 24-7 on the news.
Ask yourself why ISIS is always popping up in countries that NATO and the USA have destabilized. Who is funding and arming them? CLUE: It is not China nor is it Russia.
So I ask again, what is your point?
