BitCoin FSB & GRU, took advantage of the (perceived) cover/anonymity provided by crypto & their exchg’s to fund their attacks/covert ops. (ex 2016Elex/NATO)
2yrs ago, US gov’t seized BTC-e, & have tons of data about what funds were used where, when, & by whom.
BitCoin2There are also indications U.S. authorities have much greater intelligence on the cryptocurrency transactions beyond those hinted at in the 2018 Mueller indictments.
See 7/13/18 indictment. Witting assets be warned—hope you reported your BC income to IRS.
BitCoin3The court filings in Vinnik's case hint that one of the reasons the legal fight for his extradition has been so hard-fought may be because his potential value as an intel asset -- able to provide details of BTC-e's inner workings, and the agencies that used it.

BitCoin7Text messages that Sondland said surrounded the call (between him & Bill Taylor) indicate the call would have taken place between 12:31 a.m. EDT & 5:19 a.m. on Sept. 9.
However, per colleague, Sondland was comfortable calling Trump only after 7:30 a.m.
BitCoin8Witness testimony and records raise questions about account of Trump’s ‘no quid pro quo’ call
The White House has found no record of a Sept. 9 call between Trump and Sondland.
Sondland’s testimony has been dodgy — to say the least — before.
