the rules are that you print money, steal btc and buy gold. but they steal money and gold too. so theft is really the common denominator here that shows their specialty, i suppose.
Exactly. I don't think they'll care about buying btc because why bother when they can just print their own, but they'll confiscate it when they can and sell it for dirty cash. It's always funny to me how 'criminals' can't profit from crime but the police certainly can. It's a corrupt system.
