The U.S. Justice Department announced today that a joint operation between the United States, Thailand, Lithuania, Canada, Britain and France was successful in seizing computer servers.

Good contents bro!
Read the article on Zero Hedge today about this. Said they seized millions of dollars of Bitcoin. I'm glad they didn't drag crypto through the mud the way they did when Silk Road went down. Crypto has nothing to do with this, people do. Thanks for posting this brother.
I will go check out that article on Zero Hedge. I wonder how they had their Bitcoin stored. Bitcoin doesn't deserve anymore labels than it already has in some circles. I am liking today's price increase. I am up over 40% on one purchase and 26% on another. There's still speculation that phase 2 of SEGWIT is uncertain and the potential hard fork is still in play for the November 2MB block increase. If those are taken out of "play", then it's back to buying again.
Thank you sir!
