Australia’s Opposition Leader Puts Spotlight on Bitcoin
Australia’s opposition leader is pushing the government to increase its scrutiny into bitcoin after linking the cryptocurrency with terrorism financing.
He stated:
We must target this threat head on. As terrorists adapt their methods and seek to hide online, we must ensure our agencies have the tools, resources and technology so terrorism has no place to hide. Likewise, we need to track and target terrorists as they seek to hide and obscure their financial dealings through electronic currencies like bitcoin .
Might as well go after financial terrorists aswell...
We must target this threat head on. As banks adapt their methods and seek to hide online, we must ensure our agencies have the tools, resources and technology so bankers have no place to hide. Likewise, we need to track and target the 1%ers as they seek to hide and obscure their financial dealings through offshore bank accounts and tax havens.
yeah establishment must draft an effective plan to cope with the menace of terrorism.
