That's an interesting point. If they do take over control of the exchanges they can do a lot of things. I assume bitcoin is going to be or is a great asset for intelligence agencies to use for operations/operatives they don't want to pay on the government budget. They could even fake breaches of exchanges and distribute the btc to anyone they wanted to. Even to other governments they don't want to be seen doing business with. I never thought of it before but if people can hide their money with bitcoin, so can governments.
