I don't trust facebook at all.
Has anyone a link to an article from a respected news source? Any language would be accepted.

Thanks a lot.
I understand and I'm not surprised. Most poor countries impose controls on foreign currencies and BTC looks like one to many eyes. Then we're talking about a very large sum. Equivalent to $100K in cash to an American, probably more than what an dentist earns in one year in Egypt. To police forces and the taxman, such a sum is obviously suspicious.
