Another thought. My conspiracy brain is always on. I'm not so sure that these ransomware attacks asking for bitcoin, are truly initiated by "bad guys".

How do we know they aren't being initiated by the Feds, deep statists, or whoever in order to continue their smear campaign against Bitcoin?

How would we in the public know otherwise?

How do we know that BTC-e wasn't framed?

Bingo. A hacker group with two neurons wouldn´t use bitcoin. This has the CIA/NSA whatever firm in every aspect. In fact they were the very creators of the worm, that somehow got "hacked" and released by a cyberterrorist group. How convenient.

Exactly. This seems like the deep state perpetrator's playbook to me:

1. Decide that BTC-e needs to go because they can't control it or regulate it

2. Release ransomware to the UK (perhaps giving their corp insiders the heads up) demanding bitcoin

3. Collect the tiny btc ransom (which may also have been initiated by the perpetrators themselves) and deliberately run it through BTC-e's exchange servers

4. Plant supposedly independent white hat hacker with the "fix" to stop ransomware

5. Frame BTC-e, move in on and arrest Alexander, take down BTC-e

6. Win?


Until an exchange based on the blockchain appears and no one can shut it down. Smiley
