Jump To Comment: 1 2If you are a threat to the system then you are dead. And so Bitcoin which came on the scene in the last few years has been recognised as a threat to the existing money order. Already Bitcoin is banned in China and the US feds are all over it.
Last week one of the main Bitcoin exchanges Mt.Gox filed for bankruptcy in Japan. And now this latest news where a 28 year old American woman Autumn Radtke who was the CEO of a bitcoin exchange in Singapore has been found dead. Even though the press are trying to say it was suicide, her family said it is out of character and it clearly is part of the signal going out to all major players in the bitcoin arena. Back off and shutdown or else.
"Hackers" (or is it US government hackers?? ) are holding bitcoin MT Gox customers to ransom over their personal data.
Looks like the people who pulled down MT Gox are looking for maximum bad press for bitcoin
