Bitcoin and blood

October 18, 2025

Bitcoin and blood: This is nuts. The DOJ just seized 127,000 Bitcoin (about $15 billion) from a Cambodian phone-scam empire that ran 76,000 fake social accounts and 10 forced labor camps. I talked about human trafficking and call center scams a few weeks ago, but this is gigantic. The alleged ringleader is still on the run. They even bought a Picasso. A real one, not an NFT.
