Bitcoin Criminals
During the last year there have been several situations involving Bitcoin and criminals. The Taiwanese police were the first capturing a group of individuals that decided to steal two friends that wanted to sell 18 BTC.
When they met to make the transaction, as soon as the seller showed them that he had 18 BTC, the three individuals attacked the friends and gave them alcohol to drink – to seem that they were arguing after being drunk.
