    Actually, New York Times didn't ignore it. They got an "expert" to say it was fake.

    Other leaked documents appear to have been forged, or faked. One purported to detail the purchase of the stimulant mephedrone, sometimes sold as “bath salts,” by a Macron campaign staffer who allegedly had the drugs shipped to the address of France’s National Assembly. But Henk Van Ess, a member of the investigations team at Bellingcat, a British investigations organization, and others discovered that the transaction numbers in the receipt were not in the public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions.

    Of course, this "expert analysis" was complete bullshit.

    Oh wow. Thanks for the link. MSM is such a joke. I'd love to see them pick holes in this bit of research.

    Thanks

    I don't think there's really much for them to pick apart, honestly.

    There's zero doubt that they were wrong.

    "others discovered that the transaction numbers in the receipt were not in the public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions" is simply incorrect.

    It's like saying Budapest is the capital of Kansas. It's just incorrect.

    Of course, there is more to this story.
